[Resolved]  Sikkim Manipal University — degree certificate

Respected Sir,

I Joshua Mathew Student of SMU (2013 August- 2017 August) Registration No [protected], Enrolled for this program through erstwhile University Authorized Study Centre- Muthoot College of Allied Health Sciences and Management Studies (LC 59064). When I am joined for the course, the University representative said that “SMU will give you a Regular model (That means never mention Directorate of Distance Education in the Degree Certificate)” from that time I see that in my senior students BSc MIT Degree Certificate, DDE is not mentioned. And also in my friends Degree certificates it is not mentioned; but I received the degree certificate in same year, in my degree certificate, with a bold letter mentioned Directorate of Distance Education. It is directly affecting my Career now a days, I lost so many Job Vacancies in Abroad because of this Issue, I am really Hard worked to get B Grade for my degree. At the same time my co-students get the older version degree certificate, they have not noticed this issue in their career. I studied not only a degree course. BSc MIT is a professional degree, when the university mention DDE in the certificates the other countries will reject our job applications.

I clearly understand that Distance Education Degrees in the India are equal to the formal system of education in India, by UGCs public notice F.No. 1-9/2018 (DEB-I) dated on 23rd February. And also I understood that UGC’s Meeting held on 2nd September 2016 has decided that all Universities reflect the mode of delivery of program in their all educational documents and the letter published in UGC’s Website on 31st October 2016, From this statement SMU is not followed the decision from the notification date. SMU already handover old format certificate till January 2017 I have so many evidence for this also. I get certificate on August 2017 with mentioned DDE in my certificate, In 2017 year SMU gives different type format certificates, I need the old version;

Academic Year: 2013 August 2017 August

Kindly replace my degree certificate gives from University and solve my Issue as soon as possible. Note: Rectify my Issue and give me the Previous Version of Degree Certificate, and also give me the address to dispatch my Original Certificate.
