Islamabad:The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has planned to introduce a fully digital degree attestation system to allow students to complete the process online without visiting offices or submitting physical documents.
Officials said the HEC would introduce a blockchain-based platform through which applicants could submit requests and track applications. They said as part of the implementation, HEC had signed an agreement with CMPak and its joint venture partner Wibbow Technologies to develop the platform.
The officials said for students and graduates, the change meant no in-person visits, faster processing and easier sharing of verified credentials, especially for those living outside major cities or applying from abroad. They said the system was scheduled to become operational by June 30.
