The vision of National Academic Depository (NAD) was born out of an initiative to provide an online store house of all academic awards. National Academic Depository (NAD) is a 24X7 online store house of all academic awards viz., certificates, diplomas, degrees, mark-sheets etc., duly digitised and lodged by academic institutions / boards / eligibility assessment bodies. NAD not only ensures easy access to retrieval of an academic award but also validates and guarantees its authenticity and safe storage.
