Transcripts should be made available as and when requested.

9.5 Verifiability
Results and Academic Awards should be valid, comprehensive and verifiable by external agencies
as they have significant link with the entire career path of the students. The verifiability of results
by prospective employers, HEIs and other agencies should be managed through the National
Academic Depository (NAD) (http://nad.gov.in/).

As per the NAD Website, NAD is a 24X7 online store house of all academic awards i.e.,
certificates, diplomas, degrees, marksheets etc. duly digitized and lodged by academic institutions
/ boards / eligibility assessment bodies. NAD not only ensures easy access to and retrieval of
an academic award but also validates and guarantees its authenticity and safe storage. This will
enable educational institutions, students and employers online access/retrieval/verification of
digitized academic awards and shall eliminate fraudulent practices such as forging of certificates
and mark-sheets.
