Accept self-attested certificate copies: HRD ministry to IITs, IIMs

The HRD ministry has asked IITs, IIMs and central universities to accept self-attested documents of students aspiring for admissions and ask for originals only at admission time. This citizen friendly move comes into effect from this session, providing a much needed relief to students, especially those in rural areas, said officials. State-level institutes are being requested to adopt this policy.
