After a detailed discussion on all the issues with clarification from concerned authorities, CEC directed Director CIBS Prof. Konchok Wangdu and Deputy Secretary Higher Education UT Ladakh, Nasir Mehmood Khan to come up with a clear roadmap in resolving the issue by 27th Nov at Council and assured students that their problems will be solved at the earliest possible time. 

They discussed Rashtriya Sanskrit Sanathan (RSKS), New Delhi, under which certificates/degrees awarded by the Sansthan are equivalent to the modern certificates/ degrees awarded by other universities, Board and Bodies in India. Deputy Secretary Higher Education was asked to study and inquire about the provision of retrospective effect in getting a degree for pass out students of CIBS in line with RSKS. 

The other solution to resolve the certificate issue is re-affiliation of CIBS with Sampurnanand Sanskrit University, Varanasi (UP) again was also discussed. With the re-affiliation all pass out students could be given a retrospective effect in getting their degree in one go.
