Parinam
Manjusha - Digital Lockers for Student Documents
Documents of Std X, XII CBSE students
now a click away
Now, students of classes X and XII of
schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) can
access their academic documents online through its digital repository. The
board recently launched Parinam Manjusha--digital lockers for student
documents.
The
initiative has been developed by the CBSE along with DigiLocker, which is the
central government's online repository. Students passing the secondary or
higher secondary examinations will be able to access mark sheets, passing
certificates and migration certificates.
The
certificates which are downloaded through the repository can be verified using
the DigiLocker mobile app by scanning a QR code printed on it. This form of verification can be used by educational
institutions and employers to verify an applicant's academic records by
registering on the website with the CBSE.
For
the CBSE, the online repository will help store student information. “CBSE and
its regional offices can store, access and update academic records of students
in a central repository, “said the programme's website. Earlier this year, the
CBSE issued digital mark sheets to its students when the results were
announced.
Teachers
in the city have welcomed the ideas but are skeptical about its use. “Unless
educational institutes or employers sign up, it is not likely to serve the
purpose. There needs to be awareness to ease out the processes because currently,
getting a duplicate certificate is cumbersome, “said Nalini Garg, a former
teacher.
Last
year, the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education
and the Mumbai University too had launched their online repository where
students can get a digital copy of their mark sheets. The state board is also
in the process of digitalizing the data of students who have passed out over
the past 10 years and make it available through an online portal.
