NAD & DigiLocker Integration
Automate academic record lodging to the National Academic Depository. API-driven credential issuance, ABC credit mapping, and QR-code verification — all built into OnCampusERP.
Why This Matters for Your Institution
As of 2026, UGC, AICTE, and state universities mandate that all recognized institutions lodge academic awards digitally in NAD/DigiLocker. Non-compliance directly impacts your NAAC accreditation score under Criterion VII and can affect affiliation renewal. Most institutions still struggle with manual CSV uploads — OnCampusERP eliminates this entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries about NAD & DigiLocker integration
What is NAD integration in a Campus ERP?
NAD (National Academic Depository) integration means your ERP automatically lodges digital academic records — marksheets, degrees, transcripts — directly into the government's NAD/DigiLocker system via secure APIs. No manual CSV uploads required.
Is NAD integration mandatory for colleges in India?
Yes. Under the Digital India programme and NEP 2020, all recognized higher education institutions must lodge academic awards digitally. UGC, AICTE, and most state universities have issued circulars mandating NAD/DigiLocker compliance. Non-compliance affects NAAC accreditation scores.
How is this different from manually uploading to the NAD portal?
Manual uploads require exporting data, downloading CSV templates, formatting, fixing errors, uploading, and re-uploading rejected records — taking 3-5 days per batch. OnCampusERP's API integration does all of this automatically in under 5 minutes with 99.9% accuracy.
Does this work with the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC)?
Yes. OnCampusERP integrates with both NAD and ABC. ABC IDs are captured during admission, credits are automatically mapped per your course structure, and synced in real-time with the ABC portal — enabling multi-entry/exit programs as mandated by NEP 2020.
How long does it take to set up NAD integration?
If your institution is registered on the NAD-DigiLocker portal, integration can be configured in 2-3 days. Our team handles API credential setup, data mapping, sandbox testing, and go-live. Historical records can also be batch-processed.
Can employers verify certificates issued through this system?
Yes. Every certificate includes a QR code that links to the NAD/DigiLocker verification portal. Employers simply scan the QR code to instantly verify the authenticity of any academic document — eliminating fraud completely.
