Shocking revelations about the Indian fake degrees scandal on the Australian senator

NEW DELHI Global concern is growing over alleged fake degrees and diploma scandals in India. According to a report by a leading Australian magazine, many countries, including Australia, have expressed concern over the use of fake degrees and diplomas associated with the Indian education system. Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts, who described the issue as a serious threat to Australia's visa and immigration system, said that Indian police have seized more than 100,000 fake diplomas from 22 universities during various operations. He said these fake degrees and certificates were used for jobs and visa applications abroad.

According to reports, fake educational certificates were sold in India for between AUD 1,350 and AUD 7,300. Australian authorities say that more than 23,000 foreign students were caught in Australia with fake degrees, after which the visa system was further tightened. On the other hand, the Indian newspaper "The Commune" also admitted that 11 people were arrested in various states in India for trafficking fake degrees, allegedly defrauding hundreds of rupees. According to the American Institute for Migration Studies, the US consulate has declared Chennai as a major hub for H-1B visa fraud. The institute says that fake degrees, bank statements and other documents are being sold in India as part of an organized network. According to experts, this education fraud is becoming a major challenge not only to the security of foreign countries but also to their reputation of the global education and immigration system, which requires joint steps at the international level.
