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?
I completed master degree from MG university. Since, I haven’t received my degree certificate from university and I was informed by the university officials that issuance of degree certificate is put on hold due to COVID restrictions. Can I submit my provisional certificate issued in 2019 instead of my degree certificate for WES processing.
Yes, provisional certificate should be enough.

I am in the same boat. second verification mail was sent in Nov 2020 by WES, but there is no response from university yet. its been 2.5 months now. In between WES has sent second reminder to University. First Verification was fast though, within a week.
If university is not responding to your calls, try log a grievance.
As the university is not allowing entry, many of the applicants are trying to reach the university through phone calls. So most of the time the phone would be busy. The only solution is to keep on trying to call on the different helpline numbers provided on the university website. The applicant can raise a complaint against the university through the below link. Sometimes it would be beneficial.

I contacted on that phone number and the lady who picked up the call was helpful. Just to add she mentioned to me that once I paid the fee I should email the receipt to eg3@mgu.ac.in
Thanks for the update.
I am currently residing in UAE. Can the transcript copies be sent to my Father in law’s address as he stays in Kottayam ? If so do I need to attach any authorization letter along with the documents to get the same.
No need of authorization. You get an option to mention the address transcript need to be sent.
