Digilocker verification problematic
The consortium mandated that aspirants have to upload the scanned documents through their respective IDs and not digilocker. The documents will then be verified by a panel of expert verification officers.
As per them, the process of digilocker verification appears to be problematic because many states have not
uploaded the details of the candidates. Further, without verification they just endorse the documents referred to them.
