More Information:
The best feature of the distributed degrees is that these are printed on Plastic to increase the certificate life. These have some added security system as well like University Seal and an online portal address to verify the genuineness of the Certificate. And, the most unique point is that all the Degrees have been hand signed by all the three authorities of the University- Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar.
