Chandigarh, April 7

The Panjab University (PU) Examination Branch is all set to upload the data on National Academic Depositary (NAD) for awarding online degrees and DMCs to students.

Prof Parvinder Singh, Controller of Examination, said reasonable measures have already been taken, including legal agreement and registration of candidates from affiliated colleges and teaching departments.

Prof Singh said: “In times of the nationwide lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I felt several candidates may not be able to get examination-related testimonials. It is important to initiate an online mode to issue degrees or DMCs to all eligible PG students as well as PhD scholars for which NAD registration is a must”.

He urged all research supervisors of PhD students, who have submitted their thesis, to get registered on NAD so that the office of Controller of Examinations could upload the data for necessary action. Prof Singh said the process of data uploading on NAD had already begun. “The data of all PG/professional courses for session 2017 have been uploaded on NAD. In order to benefit from Digital India initiative, students can view or download a digitally signed degree,” he added.
