Education Vijay, Submission of a fake Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) certificate has almost become a norm with people opting to furnish them for employment; the authorities concerned as well as employers are getting worried with this trend.According to various sources in the Education Department, although a huge network has evolved in the making of fake certificates, it hasn’t been unearthed yet.They insist on involvement of insiders in the racket as in the past, few officials of the board have been caught allegedly issuing fake certificates.While the PSEB is trying to curb the menace of fake certificates, employers on the other hand are not taking any chances and are getting certificates submitted by the candidates verified from the authorities.In its attempt to discourage such a practice, the PSEB had earlier switched to printing certificates, stopping the practice of issuing hand written certificates.When the switch failed to check the malpractice, the authorities started with issuing certificates with the candidate's photograph printed on it. But even this step failed to check the scam.
According to newspaper reports, despite the board taking various steps to make the certificates foolproof, some miscreants still manage to make fake certificates. One such step in the direction was the use of holograms on the certificate in order to give it a unique identity.
