Into the fifth year of the lingering process for the appointment of Assistant Professors in seriously understaffed Bihar varsities, Bihar State University Service Commission is now grappling with a new challenge of fake experience certificates allegedly issued by competent university authorities. Bihar: Asst Profs recruitment faces forged experience certificate challenge now; Chairman blames it on varsities “The controversy is set to snowball as forged certificates are said to have found their way to the commission through most universities and in many cases the signatures have also been allegedly forged with proper seal with or without the connivance of the competent authorities. “In BN Mandal University also, four such candidates have been detected even though they possessed experience certificates counter signed by registrar, who has to do it with due verification. Another former VC, who did not want to be quoted, said that after the detection of forged experience certificates, which could be the tip of the iceberg, the department of education has issued a format with regard to experience certificates to all the universities, but that was also too complicated and could end up creating more hurdles for the bonafide candidates.
