Until now, the University has been uploading the e-certificates through the National Academic Depository (NAD) portal (digilocker system) as UGC and the state higher education department have been pushing for digitisation of records.

Bangalore University to issue hard copy of marksheets to students, check details
Bangalore University has announced that it has decided to issue tearable mark sheets to all its graduating students. The move comes after a recent syndicate meeting, during which the BU registrar (evaluation) raised the issue of students approaching the university for a hard copy of their marks card. Since 2020, students have been requesting the varsity to release the tearable marksheets.
Until now, the University has been uploading the e-certificates through the National Academic Depository (NAD) portal (digilocker system) as UGC and the state higher education department have been pushing for digitisation of records. However, many students have raised the concerns that certain employers do not accept the certificates downloaded from the digilocker.
"The special secretary to the governor also asked universities to provide a hard copy along with e-certificates," said registrar (evaluation) Srinivas C. Some syndicate members, however, insisted that the non-tearable marks cards (tamperproof and waterproof) have to be used, but it was finally resolved to use the tearable ones.
"The certificates are available on digilocker, which cannot be tampered with. The hard copy is being given because some students have raised an issue. The non-tearable markscards cost Rs 35-40 per markscard, and tearable ones Rs 2 apiece. There is no necessity to spend much on markscard as its credibility can be easily verified in the NAD," said vice-chancellor Jayakar Shetty, as reported by TOI.
Vice-chancellors were requested by the higher education department to utilise the NAD facility for free starting in 2021. The governor's administration had written to institutions in September 2022 to request that they also provide paper copies.
