Brokers who operate on campus can get your degree certificates Before convocation for Rs 4,000-5,000
For everything in life today there is a backdoor entry that is open if the main door is closed or if the usual channels have restrictions that you don’t like! This is true in the case of jobs, licences, seats in educational institutions or whatever. Oh yes, even for original degree certificates to be obtained in absentia or after the formal convocation is over this system works pretty well. There is usually a gap between the time when the results are out and the time when students get initially the provisional and later original degree certificate, which is traditionally awarded at a convocation ceremony.
However, some brokers who are well entrenched in the Examination branch of Osmania University have evolved a system that enables them to cash in on the urgency of students requiring their degree certificate, especially in cases where they have found jobs immediately after graduating and their companies have asked them to submit original degree certificates immediately. Visa requirements for travelling abroad also fall under the category of such urgency. For example, a student who has graduated from OU in 2010 will get his/her call for convocation in 2012, even though the convocation ceremony is conducted every year. Many students do not bother to collect their degree certificates for several years. However, when it becomes mandatory for their job or other requirements, they are willing to fork out the extra moolah. Taking advantage of this, brokers charge Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 for getting the degree certificates out of cracks in the Examination Branch. They operate openly right in front of the office and can be seen negotiating with students and their parents. This is just one aspect of the underhand deals at the Examination Branch. The same brokers also make money from a 'DD racket' too. The SBH branch located at the Examination Branch premises operates only until 1 PM. Many new or existing students fail to make the payments to the University before the deadline for various reasons. A very convenient and simple procedure will still enable students to make their payments. For example, a DD needs to be made out in the name of the Director, OU. If a student takes out a DD for Rs 300 in the usual method, the additional charge levied is Rs 15 (for instance). The brokers usually take out DDs in advance for various amounts much before students arrive and sell them to students in a hurry at a price that includes an additional 'broker charge' ranging from Rs 60 to Rs 80. It is not unlike purchasing film tickets much in advance and selling them in black. Everybody is aware of the happenings, including the University higher-ups. While students reconcile themselves, saying "Majboori ka Naam Mahatma Gandhi"; the officials are never bothered. For, they too get a fair share of the booty.
