Karnataka finds fake PhD certificates and impersonation in guest faculty hiring

What happened

The department of collegiate education issued notices after one candidate applied under two names using the same Aadhaar number. Some applicants submitted fake PhD certificates, and a seven-day deadline was given to reply.

Why it may matter

• This is time-bound — there is an application or deadline involved, so check the dates before they pass.
• Useful if you are trying to build a startup or explore opportunities.
• Affects students in India.
