  1. Does MG university give transcripts in sealed envelope directly to the applicant ? Does the transcript needs to be typed and given to the section in CD?

      1. Crazy people asked for submitting everything in CD today! ??‍♀️ I have no idea what kinda redundant life MG university still lives in. All these procedures are so simple and straightforward in universities outside Kerala, and to see a 30-year backward system still existing in renowned universities like MG is absolutely appalling! ??

        1. I thought they were done with CD system. They used to ask for CD few years ago, but from 2017 they stopped asking for CD. Guess the Computer shops nearby going to make good profit out of it.

      2. I have applied for WES on 31st August in MG university kottayam. They are asking for CD having the marks consolidated in a single page. I had get it done from outside shop. So please correct the information ‘they require a CD with marklist consolidated in transcript format’.

  2. For WES application transcript which option do i need to select…. option for attestation/genuineness varification of each copy of marklist OR each copy of degree certificate ???

    1. As detailed above you should go for Official Transcript/Genuineness Verification: each copy of degree certificate

    2. I’m living in Delhi is there any way by which I can get my Btech transcripts delivered to my home in Delhi, without me going directly to MG university.
      P.S Btech YOP (2017)

  3. Do I need to apply transcript again for WES if I already have one ,but not attested? Or i should only apply attestation of all marklist / each year degree certificates ??

    1. As per the new WES process, they will accept a transcript sent directly by the university. So yes, you need to apply for a new one and ask University to sent it to WES.

      1. Does the certificate copies need to be attested, or copy of attested certificate is sufficient?

          1. My SSLC certificate is NORKA attested. Copy of this certificate is enought right?

    1. WES is an educational credential validation service for US and Canada. I don’t think it is required for any other countries.

      1. Hi,
        what is the procedure for WES secondary verification from MG University?. is there any additional payment for secondary verification.

        1. WES sent a letter to university for confirmation. University need to reply that. There is no charge but may take up to 2 months.

  4. I am based outside India and need the transcript of BSC degree marklist from MG University Kottayam. Will they accept by post my application?Which address can I send the documents by post? I only need the marklist so should I still be sending the degree certificate too.

    1. It is a very busy place and not sure if you send by post it will reach right department. Better ask someone here to submit the application on your behalf. Only copies of certificate required, not the original.

      1. Hi,
        I have completed my BSc from MG University in 2016 and I would like to have my BSc official transcripts delivered to my address in Kerala so that I can send it together with my MSc transcript via courier to a Canadian University. May I know whether I have to opt “Transmission Charges: Within India” for the same or whether it is “Transmission Charges: Outside India”.

          1. Hi,
            I have one more doubt. My Canadian University has asked me to sent the BSc transcripts from MG University to them, as a part of my application for higher studies. May I know whether this has anything to do WES and whether I have to sent the transcript to WES or to my Canadian University.
            Thank you.

          2. Nothing to do with WES. Ask MG university to sent it directly to your Canadian university.
