Do you have documentation done in studying abroad?

Your departure to the foreign university may be cancelled due to a trivial reason, i.e. absence of a transcript. Although you would have taken admission in any university overseas, yet it can’t be confirmed unless you provide with a consolidated report of your mark-sheets.

What is a transcript?

The Delhi University issues it at the end of each semester. In all, you receive six mark-sheets after graduation. So, when you move offshore for further education, you must have that consolidated report of scores that you obtained in each semester. This collective report of all mark-sheets is known as a transcript.

Why do you require attesting the transcript?

The foreign universities reject acceptance of the mark-sheets that you provide separately. They require a stamp of authentication. That’s why you should create a master sheet consisting of scores of all semesters separately. Thereafter, it gets attested by the registrar of that university.

It’s noteworthy that you can’t get it done from any university. Rather, you have to approach the varsity where you graduated from. The chancellor or registrar of that university would put the stamp. Subsequently, it would be acceptable across the global universities.

What are the steps to get the transcript online from Delhi University (DU)?

You may be caught up in confusion if you don’t have enough knowledge of how to get the transcript online. I’m taking a case of the Delhi University. But, these steps would be viable and suitable in each case, whether it’s Maharashtra University or Sikkim University.

Let’s catch up the steps to get it online:

1. Visit the official site of the college/university for transcription. In case of DU, it’s http://exam.du.ac.in/transcript.html
2. On the home page, select the application form for the official transcript of Marks/Degrees
3. The click would initiate downloading of the form. Open and save to fill it.
4. Attach an A4 size paper to mention the title of your papers.
5. It comprises the instructions to read out and follow up along with the requisite fee.
6. Feed it with the particulars pertaining to the candidate, like Year, Roll No., Examination Passed, Marks Obtained, Result, Division and Particulars.
7. Put your signature at the end of the form.
8. Take it together with the requisite documents and fee.
9. If you want, you can pay its fee online also.
10. The Registrar of the University would put his stamp and deliver it to you.

How much time does it take to attest?

It takes around 10 days to deliver this transcript. Otherwise, you can collect the contextual information from the inquiry counter.

How much fee do you pay?

Since it’s not a free service, you have to pay INR 1000 (if applied in India) or US $100 (if applied from abroad). You have to pay additional INR 500 if you withdraw it after 6 years. If you compute this value in dollars, it would be US$150.

Besides, you can apply for more than a copy. But, you have to pay INR 100 for each new copy. Thereby, you need to spend US$10 additionally. It’s worth noticing that the price might vary if it’s revised by the time. It squarely depends on the revamped fee structure.

What document should you carry along with?

1. All mark-sheets
2. A copy of the Syllabus (It’s given on the website of the university to download. It would be available only if you’ve been passed out recently. If it’s not there, you can access it from the library of that university.)
3. University Enrollment number/Degree Certificate
4. If you’ve paid the fee online, the payment slip should be carried along with.
5. Copy of degree      
6. Envelope to put the transcript.
7. Another envelope with complete shipping details for speed post
8. If you want more than one transcript, enclose more envelopes with your shipping address.
9. Ensure that the envelope should be addressing as:

“Joint Controller of Examinations

Examination Branch

University of Delhi, South Campus

Benito Juarez Road

New Delhi-110021”

10. It would take at least 10 days to process.
