Now a days it is true that the employers and govt. departments verify Backdated degree directly from the Universities and their records.
If the roll number of the degree does not match with official academic timelines then it is rejected instantly that is why I help the students to understand legality and verification is more important than shortcuts.
Can a Backdated degree be verified during background checks?
It is reality that nowadays all the backgrounds checks include year-wise or semester-wise enrollment and exam records are checked and verified.
Even the Private or small organisations use digital verification portals where they search the record of the enrollment number of the employee in the official website of the University.
If they verify the online record of the student on the official website of the university and if the record does not match then the risk of rejection becomes very high.
Example:-
A backdated degree may help someone to get a job quickly it is just like taking a shortcut through a closed road
At first it feels faster and harmless because Everything feels so easy and comfortable
But when authorities, organizations and employers check the records later then the problem becomes visible.
The journey stops not because of skills but because of documentation Because most of the times documents are not verified in the case of Backdated degree.
That is how backdated degrees create long-term risk instead of long-term growth that is the reason A student or employee has to be more Cautious.
Why do people search for backdated degree certificates in the first place?
There are many of the students who are having the pressure, career gaos,m missed exams, family issues or financial problems.
if a student does not get the verified degree in first time then there is no any second chance for him
awareness matters before taking any irreversible step.
Case Study :-In 2023 there was a working professional he applied for a government-linked PSU job after clearing the written exam but
During document verification his graduation degree was sent for university authentication because this is the rule of the govt. department that they have to do the verification of the employee.
His degree certificate issue year date was correct but the academic session of his degree did not match with university internal records
Employer of the Orgnisation did not reject him immediately but kept the selection on hold for six month
so the offer which he was about to receive, that offer was withdrawn due to incomplete academic records, despite his experience(Because he was having more than 10 years of experience)
