Board Launches Website With Data Since 2002
Faking your marks on your resume to impress people will no longer work. Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has digitized secondary school certificate (SSC, Class X) and higher secondary certificate (HSC, Class XII) mark sheets of the past 12 years to enable online verification. Mark sheets can be accessed on http://boardmarksheet.maharashtra.gov.in.
The website was launched on Thursday during the state board's golden jubilee celebration. State education minister Vinod Tawde, who was present at the event, also suggested some key changes to the education system (see box).
Meanwhile, the board website will also help eliminate bogus mark sheets. Prospective employers will be able to verify job applicants' mark sheets on this portal by feeding identification numbers. Every mark sheet will have a unique identification number, comprising a combination of the roll number and the date of birth, followed by a serial number.
Outgoing commissioner of education S Chockalingam, who conceptualized the system, said, “Employers will be able to verify the authenticity of mark sheets submitted by job seekers on this portal during interviews. The system will also be useful to colleges during the admission process as they can take down the mark sheet number and log on to the website to verify or download it for their record.“
Chockalingam said in the next one month, digitization of 18 years of mark sheets would also be completed.
The board receives several requests for verification on a daily basis and is burdened with this task. It was therefore decided to put the mark sheets online and reduce the workload, he said.
