Academic Records (NAD) API Integration
Verify degrees, marksheets and academic awards directly against the National Academic Depository.
What Academic Records (NAD) API integration does
The National Academic Depository holds degrees, marksheets and academic awards deposited by issuing institutions. Verification checks a credential directly against that depository record.
The alternative is genuinely bad. Writing to a university registrar takes weeks, the reply is a letter that is itself forgeable, and at hiring volume the process is simply not run for most candidates — which is why credential fraud persists at the rate it does. NAD integration turns a multi-week background-check task into a call that returns while the candidate is still in the application flow, which means it can be run on everyone rather than on a sample.
What teams build with it

Academic Records (NAD) API integration — FAQs
What can be verified through NAD?
Degrees, marksheets and academic awards that the issuing institution has deposited into the National Academic Depository.
What if a credential is not in the depository?
The API returns a clear not-found result rather than a false negative, and your flow falls back to manual verification for that candidate.
Is learner consent required?
Yes. These are consent-based rails and verification runs against a record the learner has made available.
