The main objective of uploading JNU degrees on NAD is to curb the forgery of documentation. The academic records of students are uploaded in a digital format consisting of photographs and other relevant information inscribed upon it. It also means the students cannot upload any detail pertaining to academics of degrees from their end.
Availability of academic details of a student will help stakeholders in various ways. For example, an employer can get authenticated information of a candidate while NAD will notify the candidate on his/her registered details.
