Here I am explaining the real study case:-A few years ago a young boy from Hyderabad his name is Ramesh came to me with eyes filled with fear and uncertainty because He had dropped out due to financial and personal problems but still he was dreaming of securing a respectable job but as we know very well that The corporate world however demanded a degree but it is true that he couldn’t produce on time Then he said to me “Sir, can a backdated degree save my future? Is it even possible legally?”
This article is written for all of my students like Ramesh who belongs to Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Trivandrum, and Telangana who are talented but trapped, Trapped between life’s harsh circumstances and society’s expectations.
Let me guide each needy student not like a salesman or consultant but as a Guru explains life to his son, Elder Brother Explains to his Younger one
What is a Backdated Degree?
A backdated degree refers to an academic qualification that reflects a past completion year rather than the current date. It’s not fake, It’s not illegal if it is done through genuine UGC-approved universities that allow correction of the academic session due to missed documentation, distance education, Break in studies or migration.
I am writing an example to make it very clear
Suppose you completed your coursework in 2018 but you didn’t collect your degree due to migration or financial stress but in current date you want the same degree then You may be eligible for a backdated certificate reflecting the correct session.
Important note which you have to remember always in your mind that :
Always approach genuine University which must be UGC approved, recognized institutions But Never ever deal with fake agents who promise shortcuts or Promise to provide you the degree after receiving the money from you.
Cities Where Backdated Degrees Are Commonly Sought by needy students or Employees
Students from the following cities often search for such solutions due to employment, migration or personal issues:
Hyderabad (Telangana)
Chennai (Tamil Nadu)
Bangalore (Karnataka)
Trivandrum (Kerala)
Mysore, Mangalore (Karnataka)
Madurai, Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu)
Kozhikode, Kochi (Kerala)
Because it is true that These cities are growing IT, healthcare and service hubs where a missing degree can crush a deserving career.
Is a Backdated Degree Legal Specially in South India?
First A student needs to Understand the complete process of the Backdated degree because this is not product which can be received hand to hand by paying the money only.
Here I am explaining you that when and where A Backdated degree can be considered as a legal one
Yes, This process becomes Legal if obtained through:
UGC-approved well reputed universities where A student has to follow all the guidelines
Proper academic process (exams, internal assessment)
Distance learning or migration cases
But same Backdated degree word Becomes Illegal if:
You are given a degree without exam or academic work because exams are the backbone of a degree certificate
A degree Certificate can be proved illegal if it is given from a fake university not listed by UGC or AICTE
A real university corrects your academic session after reviewing your documents because It doesn’t print a random year on a fake certificate.
“Beta, a degree is not just a paper because It shows your struggle, your education, your dreams and this is a core reality that If you missed completing degree due to financial hardship then that’s not your fault But never lie about your education as well as walk the honest path, Go to a university that values your past work and corrects the session genuinely this process might take time but it will give you peace.”
This is what I tell every student from Bangalore to Trivandrum, from Telangana to Tamil Nadu.
Types of Backdated Degrees Commonly Issued by the UGC approved Universities to help and support to needy students in a legal way
1. Bachelor’s Degree (BA, BCom, BSc)
2. Master’s Degree (MA, MCom, MSc)
3. Distance Education Degree
4. Migration Case Degrees
5. Coursework Completion Certificates
There are I am giving Red Flags to Avoid and Stay Away from These Traps
Avoid those Websites that don’t mention the university name
Do not deal with Consultants who ask for full payment before verification
Don’t Believe the Promises of 7-day degree delivery because it is not true and possible
If there is No registration number, mark sheet or verification portal then avoid it completely
always remember one thing that Real degrees come from patience, verification and proper documentation.
