Who trusts digital certificates? Governments, universities and employers, in their own words

The shocks that changed minds

Kerala, December 2025: about one lakh fake certificates in one raid

Kerala Police raided a centre in Pollachi and reported more than one lakh counterfeit certificates carrying the seals of universities across India, plus nearly 100 fake university seals and vice-chancellor stamps. Reports put the price of a certificate at 50,000 to 1.5 lakh. Outlets differ on the exact count (nearly 100,000 or over 100,000) and on the number of arrests, so treat the totals as approximate.

Himachal Pradesh, February 2022: most degrees from one university not genuine
