A certificate can't tell you three things
Whether they actually studied at that institution
Whether the qualification was awarded
Whether the year, grade and name on the copy match the institution's own record
A file can be edited in minutes. Only the body that issued it can confirm it.
A scanned degree shows you what a candidate wants you to see. It can't tell you whether they actually studied at that institution, whether the qualification was awarded, or whether the year, grade and name on the copy match the institution's own record. A file can be edited in minutes. Only the body that issued it can confirm it. That gap is why education verification exists.
That is what education verification really is: confirming a qualification with the institution that awarded it, not reviewing the document a candidate sends. It is also the part of an education background check most likely to be rushed when a joining date is close, because chasing colleges takes time nobody on the team has.
Our education verification for employment takes that chase off your desk. You get a confirmed answer, recorded against its source, before the person joins.
Every qualification, from Class 10 to a foreign degree
Education verification for employment has to cover every level a hire might list.
| Level | What it includes | How we verify |
|---|---|---|
| School | Class 10 and Class 12, state and central boards | DigiLocker or the issuing board |
| Undergraduate and postgraduate | Degrees from Indian universities | DigiLocker or the issuing university |
| Diplomas and vocational | Diplomas, ITI and vocational certificates | DigiLocker or the issuing institution |
| International | Degrees from foreign universities | The issuing university |
Whatever a candidate lists, the education verification check confirms it against the record of the body that issued it.
Built for the way you hire
An education background check looks different depending on who you're hiring.
Campus hiring.
Hundreds of freshers, often from the same handful of colleges. Bulk upload lets you raise the whole batch at once, and you track every education background check on one dashboard instead of a spreadsheet.
Lateral hiring.
Experienced hires bring degrees from ten or fifteen years ago, sometimes from colleges that have since been renamed or merged. A document-only education check would stop there. Education background verification traces the record back to the body that holds it today.
Frontline and ITI hiring.
For many blue collar roles, a Class 10 or ITI certificate is the only qualification on file. That makes it the one that matters most, and it deserves the same education verification for employment as a degree.
Contract and gig workforces.
High volume and short notice. Education verification for employment can run alongside our Contractual Workforce Verification and Gig Worker Verification packages, so it never becomes a separate queue in your background check for employment.
What you send, what we do, what you get
Education verification with us works in three parts.
What you send
Candidate details through our API, a bulk upload, or directly from Zoho Recruit or HRStop.
What we do
Collect the candidate's digital consent, verify each qualification with DigiLocker or the issuing institution, and put every education check through QC before it is closed.
What you get
A RAG-coded report where each education verification check is marked red, amber or green with the reason, and live status for each education verification background check from the moment the case is raised. Checkwise discrepancy insights show you when the same college keeps coming up across your cases.
That is what a background check degree verification should give you: an answer you can act on, not another document to read.

Choosing between education verification companies
Most education verification companies sound the same on a first call. Ask these four questions before you hand over your education verification for employment, and the differences show up quickly.
Do you confirm with the source, or review the document? A background check degree verification that stops at the document isn't really one. Only the first counts as education background verification.
Can I see every education verification background check live, without emailing anyone?
Can I see a sample education verification background check with a discrepancy on it? How a vendor reports a problem tells you more than how it reports a clear case.
What certifications cover my candidates' data? We are certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, which matters because education background verification handles personal records.
Questions HR teams ask us
Education verification is confirming a candidate's qualification with the university, board or institution that awarded it. In hiring, it is also called education background verification, an education background check or degree verification.
Yes, when it is done with the candidate's informed consent and for a lawful purpose such as hiring. We record digital consent before any check begins.
Yes. Our education verification check covers degrees from foreign universities, verified with the university that issued them.
The qualification is marked red or amber with the exact reason, so you can speak to the candidate before you decide. Nothing is closed without QC.
