Bhubaneswar: Now, you don’t need to visit institutions and various government offices to get copies of documents pertaining to matriculation and university examinations.
One can get copies of the certificates and mark sheets of Board of Secondary Education (BSE)-Odisha and state government-run universities by just logging into www.lokseba-odisha.in.
Chief Secretary Aditya Prasad Padhi Saturday launched eight online services pertaining to universities and BSE at a function here.

S&ME secretary PK Mohapatra said that students need not run to the board office or university to apply for these certificates. They can apply for these online from their homes or from common service centers.
“The applicants just have to create a user id and password on the portal and apply for the required service. There would also be the facility to pay the fees online. After submitting the application the applicant will get an auto generated acknowledgement mentioning all details of his application,” Mohapatra said.
After final approval by the sanctioning authority, the applicant would get an auto generated SMS in his mobile telephone to download the certificate at his end, he said.
