+Degree-verification delays cost candidates jobs and visas.
+</WRAP>
+===== Why this RTI works =====
+Degree-verification delays cost candidates jobs and visas. RTI to the Controller of Examinations + parallel route via UGC for affiliated-college / fake-degree check is the cure.
+===== Legal framework =====
+  * **RTI Act, 2005** §6, §7(1), §4(1)(b)(xii).
+  * **UGC Act, 1956** §12 (recognition functions).
+  * **University Statutes** governing Controller of Examinations.
+  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011)** — examination records are 'information'.
+===== RTI template — copy & file =====
+<code>
+To:
+The Public Information Officer (PIO),
+[Office name + address].
+Subject: RTI under §6 — Degree Verification query
+Sir/Madam,
+Under the RTI Act, 2005, kindly provide:
+. Status of degree-verification request dated [DATE], Reference [NUMBER],
+   for [NAME], Roll No. [NUMBER], [DEGREE] of [YEAR].
+. Reason for delay beyond [TIMELINE specified by University].
+. Date of next dispatch and method (post / digital).
+. PIO/FAA contact at the university.
+If verification is for employment / visa, please mark URGENT under
+the Citizen Charter.
+Rs. 10 IPO enclosed.
+Yours faithfully,
+[Name]
+[Address + phone + email]
+[Date]
+</code>
+===== Escalation timeline =====
+  * **Day 31** — First Appeal.
+  * **Day 76** — Second Appeal to SIC.
+  * **Parallel** — UGC grievance cell; National Academic Depository (NAD) for digital records.
+===== Case law anchors =====
+  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011)** — Examination records are information.
+  * **Kendriya Vidyalaya v. CIC (Delhi HC, 2013)** — Internal academic records disclosable.
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Sending request to college instead of university.
+  * Not enclosing employer / visa cover-letter — slows down urgency tag.
+  * Forgetting University Roll No.
+===== Frequently asked questions =====
+==== How long does verification typically take? ====
+-60 days; many universities now offer expedited 7-day service for fee.
+==== Can NAD replace verification? ====
+Yes if the university uploads to NAD; many haven't fully migrated yet.
