(a) to (c): While a  few  instances  of  attempts  to  get  admission  with  the  help  of fake caste certificates  have been reported, the data about such instances/cases in educational institutions is not centrally maintained.

The Central Universities, being statutory autonomous bodies, are competent to take necessary  action  in  all  academic  and  administrative  matters including  admission related  issues.  They  have  powers  to  lay  down  the  rules  of  admissions  through Ordinances.  In  case  of  any  complaints  of  irregularities  in  admissions,  the  Central Universities  take  appropriate  steps in  such matters  in  consultation  with  local authorities, if necessary.   The Central Universities have full powers to initiate action against their officials, if found involved in such cases.

In order to bring transparency in admissions, almost all the Central Universities have adopted online admission process during the current academic session.

The Government of India has issued various circulars from time to time for proper issuance and verification of caste certificates. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs has also circulated the instructions of the Supreme Court to streamline the procedure for the issuance of social status certificates, their scrutiny and their approval to all the State Governments/UT  Administrations. However, issuance  and  verification  of  caste certificates is the responsibility of the concerned State Governments / Union Territory administrations.
