AAERI and Indian Government Launch Digital Platform to Verify Indian Students' Credentials for Australia
The Association of Australian Education Representatives in India (AAERI), in partnership with India's National e-Governance Division, launched AAERI Verify, a digital platform to authenticate academic, identity, and financial documents of Indian students applying to Australian universities. Integrating DigiLocker and blockchain technology, the platform aims to reduce document fraud, speed up verification from days to minutes, and provide secure, consent-based access to verified records for authorized agents and institutions. It includes a two-stage verification process covering student and sponsor credentials.
