Institution intelligence
Official identity, former names, campuses, programmes, domains, verification contacts and source provenance.
Academic Credential Intelligence
Academic verification institutions can defend.

DCS Bonafide combines issuer intelligence, document-version intelligence, regulatory history, logical checks, source verification and human review so academic credentials are evaluated against the strongest evidence available.

WHAT BONAFIDE DOES
Purpose-built verification capabilities.
Each capability is a visible part of the verification workflow—not a hidden AI score.
Document & profile checks
Version-aware analysis for marksheets, transcripts, provisional/final degrees, diplomas and related records.
Recognition intelligence
Institution + campus + programme + mode + academic-period evaluation where official sources support that granularity.
Academic logic
Marks, grades, credits, SGPA/CGPA, semester sequence and institution-specific conventions.
Cross-document consistency
Identity, academic progression, enrolment numbers, course sequence and date coherence across the case.
Source verification
Authorized portals/APIs, signatures/QRs and official-channel manual verification when automation is unavailable.
EVIDENCE MODEL
Academic credentials are not verified by appearance alone.
The evidence hierarchy gives authoritative issuer/database responses the highest weight, followed by cryptographic issuer evidence, regulatory status, known document profiles, cross-document logic and manual official-channel confirmation.
- CBSE, CISCE/ICSE/ISC and prioritized State Board credentials
- Semester and consolidated marksheets, provisional/final degrees, transcripts, migration certificates and diplomas
- IELTS, PTE, TOEFL and other testing credentials only through documented official verification routes
- New or unmapped legitimate document versions create a review/version-update task—not an automatic fraud finding
- Legacy, photocopied or regional-language documents can route to source/manual verification when modern template forensics are inappropriate

DESIGNED FOR
One evidence model. Role-specific operations.
The same underlying case can be viewed differently by institutions, employers, reviewers, operations and candidates.
Universities
Incoming admissions, transfers and credential review
Education platforms
Cross-issuer normalized verification workflow
BGV teams
Academic verification within broader candidate cases
DECISION DISCIPLINE
Unknown ≠ fake.
Unmapped issuer, new template, legacy document or unavailable source must route to uncertainty/manual verification rather than an automatic accusation.
