A transcript is a detailed summary of one’s marks/scores/ grades that a school or university generates. This document can be manually or digitally applied for. It consists of a list or table of the individual modules, papers/ courses and scorecard correspondingly. The scorecard can have a numerical and/or letter grade against each course in different semesters.

Easy Steps to Get a Transcript from Mumbai:
Step 1). Prepare to Apply for a Transcript
- Make a bunch of all documents that you want to get attested. Let’s say, you have eight mark sheets of all semesters that need to be attested, keep them in a file together. If these are from different schools and universities, arrange them in different sets.
- Get a photocopy of each. It is also required because the college or school authority keep it with itself for a further reference. So, it is must to keep a photocopy of all original mark sheets.
- Make a set of original and photocopies of mark sheets separately. Put these two sets in a separate envelop each. Write the address of the university on both. Also, you should take a spare envelop for any urgent requirement.
- Manually write address on envelopes. Mumbai University does not accept printed address.
- It is compulsory to take all original documents with you. The backend officer at the university cross checks every detail on these documents. Once verified, you may bring your original documents back.
Step 2). Submission of Documents
- Try to reach before opening hours at the address.
- Let’s say, you studied from Vidyarthi Vidyapeeth Bhavan, First Floor, B Road, Churchgate station. It opens between 11.00-1.00 pm and 1.30 to 2.00 pm.
- Make up your mind for long waiting hours, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays. Although the office opens at 10:30 AM, people start standing in queues as early as 8:30 AM.
- On your turn, you will receive a form to fill it up. It requires the basic information about you to be filled there. Fill it up.
- Again, visit the officer. He will verify all documents and information being filled. Handover the envelopes that you have so that he can check.
- Pay the requisite fee for the entire process. The total amount will depend on the number of copies you want to get attested.
- Generally, it requires INR 5 per document as an attestation fee and INR 50/ document as a processing fee. Calculate the total fee according to the number of documents.
- The backend officer will give you a receipt upon verification and fee payment. Keep it safe with you. Keep it handy because it will be required to collect your attested transcripts.
- The processing time will be around 25 days. You may come back after that time to collect your documents.
