CTET 2024: Marksheets to be Available on DigiLocker
The board has further notified that like in previous years, candidates will receive digital marksheets and eligibility certificates through DigiLocker. It is part of a resolution of the board towards the ‘Green initiative’. “DigiLocker accounts of all the appeared candidates will be created and the account credentials will be communicated to the candidates on their mobile numbers registered with CBSE. Candidates will be able to download their digital mark sheet and eligibility certificate using the communicated credentials,” the central board stated.
The marksheets and certificates will have an encrypted QR code which can be scanned and verified using DigiLocker mobile app. This step has been taken for security reasons.
As per the IT Act, the digitally signed mark sheet and eligibility certificates are legally valid. Mark sheets and eligibility certificates are convenient in digital format for all as they can be shared electronically anytime anywhere, CBSE said. “The Board is committed to saving a huge amount of money and valuable resources like paper, trees, and water and reducing carbon emissions,” it added.
