HOW TO GET TRANSCRIPT FROM RGPV BHOPAL: SMART WAY


WHAT IS TRANSCRIPT
A transcript is a copy of a student's permanent academic record, which usually means all courses taken, all grades received, all honors received and degrees conferred to a student. Basically receiving all of your records from the first day of college till the college year now
WHY TRANSCRIPT REQUIRES
          If you are looking for higher studies specially in abroad or planning to migrate then Foreign universities/immigration authority/employer will ask you to submit the your original transcript in order to verify the equivalency of your education with the host country  education.
          In my case I needed transcript to get verification of my education credential via WES.
PROCESS TO APPLY FOR  TRANSCRIPT
In general you would expect to have a similar process to be followed by the universities to provide the transcript to student in a country and in this edge of technology they should have capability to do it online.
Unfortunately this is not true and every university has different process and different requirements of the documents.
MY JOURNEY
Being outside of india , I started to look how to get transcript from RGPV on Google and didn’t found much help only one thing was sure that I cannot apply it online. So as next step I contacted to university and got a very prompt response

“Dear Student,

You can download the Form of Transcript from the RGPV Portal (www.rgpv.ac.in) from the option "Downloads Forms" available on the Home Page. Read the inside  instructions carefully and submit the form and if any further issue regarding the process for applying then you can contact RGPV Student Helpline number 0755-4004747. 

Regards
 Technical Support Team””

          So I got the form but no details on the documents require fees require ? so RGPV is expecting that every student should call to get this detail . why not just add it with the form ?
REQUIRE DOCUMENTS
After some research I found that with the form you need original mark sheet of the semesters and any one  with original mark sheet can apply for transcript on your behalf. That was relief if you are outside of India/Bhopal.
But filling up the form was a challenge on it’s own as I have read student experience of making many mistakes in the form and going bake to amend themwhich wasted time & money.
 So after some more search I get to know that RGPV has a cyber café named cyber city https://www.facebook.com/cyber00786/timeline which makes life much easier for student.
THE PROCESS
1.    So First you get a 1 copy of the filled form and original mark sheets and take it to the RGPV. Staff is very helpful and they will guide you to the right room number.
2.    You have to submit the form & your original marksheet for verification which take 2 -3 hours depend on the crowd .
3.    Once verification get done  you will get back the form & your mark sheets  with all the details on the changes require in the form.
4.    Then you go back to café get done all the require changes. Get the required number of copies of your forms and envelops
5.    Go to the UTI bank ( it’s in the campus) get Challan ( it was 500 rs for 10 copies) please check with the university about the fees.
6.    Submit the all forms and challan on same windows and keep the student copy of your challan in secure place you will need it to get back your transcript which usually take two days.
TIPS
1.    Reach early morning about 9 AM if you want cyber café to fill up your form as if there is crowd then it could took you whole day to get fill up your form .
                                                  
                                                                         OR

2.    Call the café owner from the Facebook link  he will provide you his email id on which you can send the scan copy of your mark sheets. And they will keep your form ready by the time you will reach University.
3.    Remember that university accept the form for verification till 2.30 PM and bank will close by 4PM you have to manage your timing for form submission & issuance of the challan. I was having head to head with the time else I would have to spend another day in university.
4.    If you are not living in Bhopal and want to take your transcript with you make sure you have  two to three working days arrangement to stay in Bhopal.

  1. Hi,
    I followed procedure suggested by you. Currently I am in USA, so I asked one of my friend to do the formalities at RGPV on my behalf. But registrar denied my transcript request stating that I should provide original documents. But I am not in India as of now and need transcript urgently. Can you please suggest any workaround for this.

  2. Hi Sumit,
    Thanks for the info. So someone has to go to RGPV with original marksheets? So I will have to send my original marksheets to someone in India first?
