I just applied for transcripts for myself.

Complete Process as below -

Need to go to Admin block, anybody, applicant or any known. No


acknowledgement needed of applicant.

Below the Admin building, buy the 70 Rs form, fill the form with the
Transcript code, ,go to the branch just besides it & pay the fees.

Fees as below - 440 per document for which transcript is needed.

Now here is a twist, they charge 440 for each mark sheet & 440 for a degree
& 440 as registry charges, unlike other Uni's, where they charge flat fees for
transcripts of any kind.

So in my case, I paid 2200, which is for my B.C..A., 440 * 3 for 3


marksheet, 440 for degree & 440 for registry.

They will send the transcripts themselves & will NOT handover to anybody,
even to the actual applicant.

Hence, they also need the copy of the filled & fees paid page of WES form,
which has your particular reference number & details that you need
transcripts & also which is to be sent to WES.

They also need 2 copies of all the certificates/marksheets for which


transcripts is needed.

Hope that clears the confusion.

They are sending transcripts to Canada, so 440 charges of registry are for
sending abroad for obvious reasons.

Post 15 days of submitting your application, you can call the Certificate
Section on 0172-2534837 & they will provide you the Indian Post registry
number for your application.
From my experience, I would suggest you to call post 3 weeks.

From that num, you can track on the website www . indiapost . gov . in

As a rule of thumb always include your education from bottom up. That is your
bachelors to Master's. WES evaluations should be done for both even though some
people might say to get the highest degree evaluated. It is always much safer to
get both evaluated. Also while uploading documents include degree/transcripts of
bachelor's, master's and the WES ECA . Uploading everything is much better than
not uploading. Best of Luck!

YES IT HAS BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE YOU DID NOT INCLUDE YOUR DEGREE
CERTIFICATE.
next time make sure that you upload your degree certificate in addition to WES. I
know a lot of people in the old system who got their files returned just because
they forgot to include degree certificates.

Guide to Express Entry ECA


from WES
Is WES Best organisation for ECA?
There is no "best" organisation to get your ECA because not all ECA
organisations evaluate all qualifications. However, many candidates
prefer World Education Services for express entry ECAs due to their
fast processing time, ease of use and competitive fees. It is probably
the most common ECA body used by Express Entry
applicants. Please note that WES is not the only designated
organisation for ECAs and you are free to select other designated
organisations mentioned above provided they perform ECAs for your
field of education.

If you are on this page and do not understand what an ECA is, then
you must first go through the following link: Education Credential
Assessment (ECA) for Express Entry

A step-by-step guide to getting ECA done


from WES is provided below:

Before going through the whole process, it is probably wise to take a


look at A) WES Free Degree Equivalency tool and B) Documents
required.

A) Free Degree Equivalency Tool


With WES, you have an option to use the Free Degree
Equivalency Tool before you create an account. This is probably
one of the most noteworthy features because it gives you a 'hint' on
the final results that you can expect. In addition, the tool is simple to
use and requires only the following info :

Last (Family) name

First (Given) name

Country of residence

Email

Re-enter email

Country of Education:

Name of Degree/Diploma:

Major (in English):

Number of Years of Study: and finally,

Institution Attended: Search button*


*WES has not listed many Institutions in their database due
to several reasons. You maybe able to apply for a credential
evaluation even if your degree or institution is not currently
listed. You can also e-mail WES asking for clarity and
they'll probably write back with further instructions.
Free Degree Equivalency tool result looks the same as image
provided below:
NOTE: Please do not get confused between Free Degree
Equivalency tool and the actual ECA report. Free Equivalency tool is
not a replacement for ECA. Since your documents are not verified
during Free Degree Equivalency tool stage the final result may not
be the same. Free Degree Equivalency tool is only there to give you
an indication on what your Canadian Equivalency maybe in your
official ECA results. The final ECA results maybe same or different
after verifying your documents. CIC (IRCC) will not entertain Free
Degree Equivalency tool results.

B) Understand required documents for your


case
Depending on your country of education you may either need to ask
your university to send transcripts directly to WES or you may have
to courier the transcripts yourself. If you are sending documents to
WES, ensure that documents are sent in an envelop that is sealed
and stamped by the insititution. So make sure to check this link for
country-specific document
requirement :http://www.wes.org/ca/eca/requireddocuments/
Furthermore, before you create an account on WES website, it is
recommended that you make an informal call to your university and
check if they can follow the document requirements. While most
universities do understand the process maybe the staff at your
university is not aware of the process, so make sure you get this
sorted while you are at initial stages. If your university cannot follow
WES guidelines, then check for another designated organisation that
is allowed to do ECA as per CIC.

Now that you understand WES Free Degree Equivalency tool and the
Documents required, proceed with Step 1.
Step 1: Create an account with WES and make
payment for ECA package
Once you have confirmed with your university that they are aware of
the process and can follow WES Documents guidelines, proceed with
account creation.

First of all, ensure that you are on WES Canada home page for ECA
In addition, be aware that WES has several packages meant for
different organisations and purposes. For Express Entry make sure
that you are on WES Canada website and ensure that you select ECA
package when creating the account.

Follow the link below to create an account and fill all the requested
info :

https://www.wes.org/ca/apply/createaccount.asp?loc=cic
You can make payment by credit card, cheque/money order, or
Western Union. The fees for ECA package is 200 CAD (excluding
charges for delivery and additional services). You can find fee details
in this link : http://www.wes.org/ca/eca/fees/
Once you are done creating your account you will get a Reference
number. Since WES identifies your documents based on this
reference number, it is important that you do not lose this reference
number.
Step : 2 Gather and dispatch (or arrange for
dispatch of) required docs
As discussed earlier, the documents required depend on the country
of education. Your specific documents and dispatch process can be
found in this link :http://www.wes.org/ca/eca/requireddocuments/

WES Document Submission Checklist

Please use this checklist as a guide to ensure that documents meet WES
requirements. Documents not received as specified will delay your credential
evaluation.

Remember to:

Carefully follow the document requirements for your country of education.

Use the Academic Records Request Form (optional)

BEFORE sending your documents:

Make sure that your transcripts are valid and complete. Transcripts must show: all
subjects taken, grades received for each subject, and for each year you were in
the program.
Make sure that academic records include the correct spelling of your name and
other details. The WES evaluation will indicate the name and date of birth shown
on your academic records.

Make sure that all documents that are sent to WES are clear and legible.

WHEN sending documents:

Make sure that your reference number is indicated on all envelopes.

Make sure that your transcripts are placed in an envelope that is signed and
sealed across the back flap by the institution preparing the documents.

Send only academic records issued by recognized academic institutions. WES


does not evaluate occupational or trade qualifications.

Please Do NOT send:

Personal photocopies of transcripts.

Original documents, unless specifically requested.

Documentation regarding non-formal training or work experience.

In case you are sending the transcripts to WES in a sealed and


stamped envelope, use of express courier service is
recommended. The last thing you would want is to go through all
the process again, if the first set of transcripts is lost in transit.

Step : 3 Wait for review to be completed


WES will review the submitted documents as per their guidelines
and communicate with you via e-mail when needed. While
evaluation will be completed in 20 business days for most cases,
there maybe delays if the documents submitted are incorrect or
if additional verification is needed. There maybe delays due
to backlog situations. If you are facing unexplained delays you
can e-mail WES asking for updates. You can also monitor the status
of your application by checking under status column under My
Orders.
WES evaluation statuses :
Waiting for required documents : Your account is created and a
reference number is generated but WES has not yet received your
documents.
Documents received Review in Progress : Self-explanatory.
There could be a delay of 3 working days between your
documents getting delivered at WES location and a change to this
status.
Waiting for verification from institution : WES may find it
necessary to verify the transcripts and certificates that you
submitted with the issuing institutions. In such cases, they will
send a copy of your submitted documents to your educational
institution and ask them to authenticate the same, as a result,
there could be delays because of this.
Waiting for payment : In most cases, WES will not complete
your evaluation until the payment is completed. So it is unlikely
that you will see this status unless the earlier payment failed.
Completed : Congrats!! Your evaluation is complete and ECA
hard copy is posted to your address.
When the evaluation is completed, you will also be able to see
2 new tabs under your Order details : View Report tab and
Download ECA report tab. You can use any of these 2 tabs and see
your ECA evaluation report.
A Completed ECA report looks the same as the image provided
below. The sections highlighted under red box are important and will
need to be entered in your Express Entry profile.
You will also be able to track the transit of your ECA report (hard
copy) using the tracking IDs provided under My Account > Click on
your reference number (1st column highlighted in yellow) > Report
Shipping & Tracking.
Useful tips:

Make sure you select ECA PACKAGE

Make sure that you follow the document requirements for your
country of education.

Do not send originals unless specifically asked by WES.

Cross check with your institutions and ensure that transcripts


show: all subjects taken, grades received for each subject, and for
each year you were in the program.

Make sure that all documents are clear and legible.

Make sure that your reference number is indicated on all


envelopes. If your documents are being sent to WES directly by
your university then ensure that you have conveyed this
information.

Make sure transcript envelope is signed and sealed across the


back flap by the institution
CIC (IRCC) accepts ECAs that are upto 5 years old.

Standard processing time for Canada ECA is 20 business days.
