What is Academic Transcript & How to Get it in India?

Comments 0 Comment

For students who are willing to have further education, the transcript is essential.

What is this transcript?

It’s a record of marks or grades that you have got in all subjects during your graduation or post-graduation or any degree course or diploma.

In short, it’s a proof of your education, carrying all scores in various subjects that you have studied.

Some people call it the Transcript of Records (ToR), which is just another name given to this scorecard. Both are similar.

People use different names of it, which you can easily recognise.  Here is the list of all names, which mean the same that you have been certified or qualified in the course:

What is Academic Transcript

How does a transcript differ from diploma or degree?

These all documents represent that you have been educationally qualified. But, the transcript is a little bit different from a diploma or degree.

Diploma or Degree are the certificate that you receive when you complete your course or educational qualification as per the selected programme.

On the other hand, the transcript carries all the academic records of a student in a document. It basically is a certificate that reads the list of all courses or subjects that you have studied in a sequence, what awards, scores, grades and achievements you got and what degree you hold for the academic programme. In short, it carries A to Z of what education you have and the subject-wise credit details.
This document may have all these details:

  • Overall grades received by the student for the pan academic course/year
  • Total number of students in the class and the rank scored
  • The average grade of the class to let foreign educational institute know about the student’s academic position
  • The stamp of the registry of the institution on the official letter head of that college, institute or school

When is it required?

The aspirants who have a dream to join a foreign university or school or institute to study a specific course, they need a set of documents to support the admission process. NRIs often require it to present to the immigration department and the foreign school of learning. Disclosing what proofs you have about completing schooling, graduation or post-graduation is essential because they support your suitability for the course that you like to opt in further.

Students don’t have any choice. They have to produce the transcript to join the course. This is why they have to keep their documents ready. Get some soft copies of them so that you can upload and show up or send any time to the competent authority.

You should keep into account that the requirement may be different as per school. What all you need to notice is that:

  • It reads all courses and subjects that you had studies.
  • Those who are applying for a-post graduation abroad, they have to get the score list of all courses or programmes in the graduation.
  • Those who want to join the grad-course, get the transcript of all subjects and scores that have been opted-in during twelfth or pre-college education.
  • Rarely, universities may ask to show the previous proofs of education.

How can you get it from the school/ college?

As it is delivered by the education board of various states, which the academic school or institute provides once you complete the education from there. It consists of all academic records. You can get it either by yourself. Visit the school or college or institute and raise a request.

A few colleges offer this facility online. You may raise the similar request over the internet. Visit the website of the college or school and take the benefit out of this online facility. But ensure first if this facility is available or not.

How can you recognise if it’s real or fake?

The official transcript differs from the fake one.

Transcript in English is Universally Acceptable

There are some schools and colleges that hand it over in a regional language. The admission in any foreign school would certainly require its English version. Therefore, you need its translation. But, the original document in whatever language it is must be enclosed. The non-residents should keep this fact into account. Both should be stamped and signed by the issuing authority.

If you face any challenge, take help of any NRI consultant.

The proof of marital status in India is a document that proves an individual’s state with regard to a marriage. These documents can marriage certificate, divorce decree or legal separation paperwork. Sometimes, the spouses live at two different addresses. In that case, any government authority requires the proof of separate addresses of both, husband and wide. These proofs can be lease agreements/mortgage statements or utility bills-whatever the document of separation reads. NRIs need any of them if they have any requirement in their jobs or work or documentation to fulfill.
