Overview of the Case
In a recent investigation led by the EFC Verification Team, an individual named Praveen Kumar was found to have submitted fraudulent educational documents, falsely claiming to hold a legitimate degree from Jiwaji University, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.
The case was flagged after our verification partners received inconsistencies in the academic records submitted for processing.
What Was Claimed
Praveen Kumar claimed to possess a Bachelor’s degree from Jiwaji University, including scanned mark sheets and a provisional certificate. The documents appeared genuine at first glance but failed to pass multiple layers of verification.
What Investigation Revealed
-
Jiwaji University officially confirmed that no student by the name of Praveen Kumar, with the submitted roll number and year of passing, existed in their records.
-
The format and signatures on the documents were inconsistent with official university-issued templates for the claimed year.
-
Additional scrutiny revealed that the degree certificate template matched known samples of forged degrees circulated by degree mills operating under the guise of “consultancy services.”
Why This Matters
Cases like these are not only a threat to the credibility of our education system, but also undermine the hard work of genuine students who earn their degrees through dedication and merit.
Fake degree holders like Praveen Kumar often attempt to:
-
Secure jobs in private or government sectors using forged documents
-
Pursue further education or visa processing abroad
-
Take advantage of lax verification practices by unsuspecting institutions
Legal Action & Blacklisting

-
A notice has been issued to Praveen Kumar for submission of forged documents under Sections 420, 465, 468, and 471 related to cheating and forgery.
-

-
The case has been reported to Jiwaji University and relevant educational authorities for further action.
