Mysuru: With the University Grants Commission (UGC) delaying granting back recognition to the courses offered by the Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) despite many appeals and Court orders, most of the staff at the KSOU are busy with checking the authenticity of marks cards — whether it is fake or genuine.
With several fake marks cards doing the rounds, the University employees have a voluminous task of checking the records, sign, seal, security codes and the paper used to print the fake marks cards to ascertain its authenticity. Once the authenticity of the seal and security features is established, they will have to check the names of the degree holders with the help of ledgers and registers. Then they will have to cross-verify them with the data fed to the computers.
