issued through the Digilocker Portal instead of manual verification to minimize

the time involved in verification and to reduce the delays, administrative

App can be used to scan the QR Code on the Digilocker SSC and thus the
Credentials of the candidate can be verified instantly in a cost-effective way.

to access and share their academic certificates and documents with ease. Thus
the Students who have passed SSC Examinations after 2004 are also

digitally signed Digilocker certificates over traditional physical certificates. The
Digilocker certificate is securely encrypted, tamper-proof, and government-
authorized. It carries the weight of official recognition, ensuring that your

India’s vision for a Digital India. All the concerned are requested to embrace the
convenience, accessibility, and innovation offered by the digitally signed
