MG University WES secondary re verification process
Based on the feedback we had on our last article How To Apply For Transcript From Mahatma Gandhi (MG) University, Kerala, we are detailing the process of WES asking for re-verification once you submit the transcript.
Why WES asking for secondary verification?
Below is the screenshot of an email from WES received by many applicants after submitting the transcript to WES.
As you can see, WES states “increase of fraud” as the primary reason for re-verification. WES directly contacts the university to evaluate authenticity of the documents submitted by both emails and by post.
MG University Process for re-verification
MG University will send below email to candidates for payment of reverification fee of $50 each for transcript/degree certificate. If WES ask the university for both transcript and Degree Certificate fee it will be $100. Else it will be $50 for just the transcript. This will be mentioned in the email from university.
How to complete the re-verification process?
- WES will let you know by email when it has asked the university for secondary verification.
- MG University will receive the request both electronically(email) and via post.
- MG University contacts you via email within two weeks and asks to pay the re-verification fee.
- Visit the online payment portal and pay US $50 or $100 ( This will be the amount mentioned by the university in the email) https://epay.mgu.ac.in/Candfee/feeoptions/1056
6. Sent the payment receipt to the email mentioned by the university in the memo.
How long does it take to complete the whole process?
WES typically asks for secondary verification within 2 weeks of getting a transcript from MG University. University should contact you in another two weeks time for the payment. Once you made the payment, it takes about 3 weeks for the university to respond to WES and another week for WES to process. So in total, it can take about 6-8 weeks to process your WES evaluation.
Example timeline:-
11-Dec – WES asks university for re-verification
24-Dec – MG University sends the email for payment (within 2 weeks)
25-Dec- Online payment made and receipt submitted
15-Jan – MG university respond to WES email request (within 2-3 weeks)
22-Jan – WES process your evaluation report (within 1 week)
Do I need to visit the university for completing re-verification?
Not required as the university only need the fee to be paid online and receipt sent to them via email. Also, University will be responding to WES via email and no physical documents are prepared or send. This is a verification process between the university and WES. We only need to pay the re-verification fee online.
Note: Above article is based on crowdsourced information from other applicants and readers of this blog. As the process could change from time to time, please check with university information counter.

How to contact University and check the status of your application?
Hi,
Can anyone please tell the recent start to end timeframe taken for completing the re-verification process.
It can take up to 6 months due to lockdown.
Is the copy of degree certificate is enough to apply for re-verification stage or should i attach other document? Should it (degree certificate) self attest?
No document is required for re-verification. Just pay the fee and send the receipt.
Hello, MGU has emailed me asking to pay the reverification cost of 100USD( I applied for my BTECH degree).I had applied for genuineness of degree certificate already. While filling up the form for payment through the mentioned website “http://epay.mgu.ac.in/Candfee/feeoptions/1056”, please confirm if I should choose numbers “2” to make 100USD payment?
Also, could you please clarify if genuineness was already applied, why did WES sent back for re-verification? Wasn’t the application for genuineness of degree certificate to avoid re-verification ?
Yes, select 2. Applying for genuineness verification early only reduce chance of WES asking for re-verification and also save time now so you don’t have to apply for it again. Once you pay the re-versification, MG university should reply to WES by email within few weeks.
I am a Bcom pass out of 1995. I lost some year wise certificate like supplementary. But I have Original Degree Certificate and consolidated Marksheet with me. For doing WES, year wise marksheet required or possible to do it with the certificates as I mentioned. Please comment. I wanted to do the WES immediately. Thanks a lot in advance.
Original Degree Certificate and consolidated Marksheet should be enough.
Hi, I received email from the university as-
“As per reference (2) it has been decided to levy a re-verification fee @$50(fifty us dollars) for each document.
Hence you are directed to remit $50 (50 US Dollar) separately for re-verification of OT/Attestation of Marklists/Attestation of Degree certificate (for each application),through e-payment portal of Mahatma Gandhi University (epay.mgu.ac.in) and forward the e- receipt to this mail id for further necessary action in this regard.”
The WES portal says “Received Documents Awaiting Verification” for both Degree certificate and Statement of Marks.
Now, I’m confused whether I must pay $50 or $100 for this re-verification process. Please clarify.
You need to pay $100 for re-verification of both mark list and degree certificate. However, if you have not applied for Genuiness verification of Degree certificate, you have to apply for that first. So check with the university to confirm before you make any payment.
