New Delhi: In a new
e-governance initiative, the human resource development ministry
Thursday announced that e-certificates will be sent to all those
who qualify for the University Grants Commission National
Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) test for appointment as university
lecturers.
Close to 15,000 aspirants will now get their UGC-NET qualification
certificate through e-mails, instead of the earlier practice of
receiving hard copies of the certificate. Human Resource
Development Minister Kapil Sibal launched the e-certificates
Thursday.
"This is yet another step towards e-governance we are trying to
build," Sibal said after launching the programme.
"Every 20 seconds, a certificate will be mailed to the eligible
candidates," UGC's acting chairman Ved Prakash said.
The certificate will be given to 10,433 candidates who qualified
for NET and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in the exam in June
2010.
The UGC-NET exam is conducted twice every year in June and
December in 77 subjects at 74 centres spread across the country.
"Approximately five lakh students take the UGC NET exam every
year, and 15,000 qualify in every batch. With this e-certificate,
the time taken in giving the certificates, which was earlier six
months, will now be only six days. At the same time the time taken
for verification of authenticity of the certificate by employer
will take only 24 hours against the earlier time of four months,"
he said.
The certificates will also be password protected, will carry a
photo of the candidate and have a unique bar code.
"An sms will also be delivered to the candidate as soon as the
certificate is delivered in their mail box," Prakash added.
