Keshavan (name changed) passed out from an affiliated college of Bharathiar University in 2012 and got a job in May 2013. But he is not sure whether he will be able to continue because of his inability to produce a degree certificate.
He joined a company with the help of a provisional certificate on the understanding that he would submit the degree certificate within 10 days. But his attempts to get a degree certificate went in vain, even after applying for it under the tatkal scheme.
His company has given him one more chance, the last, to produce the degree certificate. He is in a fix. Many like him, who had joined jobs with provisional certificates are under the threat of losing their jobs because of their inability to produce degree certificates within the deadline specified by companies.
They have approached the Coimbatore Consumer Cause to enable them find a solution. The organisation has urged the Vice-Chancellor of Bharathiar University G. James Pitchai, and Principal Secretary of the Higher Education Department on July 7 to provide degree certificates to those who had completed the courses in 2012.
"As many as 95,211 students from the university's affiliated colleges and departments of the university are waiting to receive their degree certificate through the convocation. They completed their courses in the academic year of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. Without degree certificates, their higher education is affected; especially students who would like to study abroad are unable to apply for their higher studies," added a top officer from the university.googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-2874778-2'); );
