1. Non-Recognized Examination Board
-
“Karnataka State Open Education Examination Board” (KSOEEB) is not a recognized statutory educational board under:
-
Government of Karnataka
-
Government of India
-
AICTE, UGC, or any other national-level education regulatory authority
-
-
There is no official listing or government recognition of this board in the Ministry of Education database or on https://www.karnataka.gov.in.
2. Website Domain (www.ksoeeb.com)
-
The domain appears unofficial:
-
Most genuine government or university domains in India end in “.gov.in” or “.ac.in”.
-
Use of “.com” raises suspicion — government or official bodies never use commercial domains.
-
3. Autonomous Body Claim
-
The phrase “An Autonomous Body Registered by Karnataka Soci. Act.” is vague and misleading:
-
Any society registered under the Karnataka Societies Act does not have the authority to conduct recognized diploma or degree programs unless explicitly approved by UGC or AICTE.
-
4. Diploma Format and Terminology
-
The term “Diploma Short Training Course” is not a recognized format used by any official technical boards like:
-
Department of Technical Education (DTE) Karnataka
-
Board of Technical Examinations (BTE)
-
-
Official diplomas use standardized terminology such as “Diploma in Engineering” with clear reference to the technical education authority.
5. Logo and Emblem Usage
-
The logo used on the top may resemble the Government of Karnataka emblem, but unauthorized use of the state emblem is illegal and often used in fake documents to create false legitimacy.
6. Evaluation Pattern
-
The structure of the marksheet, especially using overly simplistic categories like “A Grade” and “Pass”, is inconsistent with genuine state board diploma mark cards.
7. Lack of Digital Verification
-
No barcode, QR code, or digital verification ID — most recognized boards now issue marksheets with a digital traceability mechanism.
How to Confirm This is Not Valid:
You can verify the legitimacy of diploma certificates in Karnataka by:
-
Visiting the Department of Technical Education, Karnataka
-
Contacting the Board of Technical Examinations (BTE), which is the only recognized authority for diploma courses in Karnataka.
-
Checking with AICTE or UGC for university/board recognition.
Summary
❌ This “marksheet” from Karnataka State Open Education Examination Board is not valid and would be rejected by any genuine evaluation agency.
It is most likely part of a fake diploma racket run under a society registration without academic accreditation.
