 GENERAL QUERIES

 Can I get a copy for myself?

o Sorry, that’s not possible. University has discontinued it. You need to input the agency details so that
digitally signed documents are sent to them directly from the official university id

 I do not have Transcripts; will the University issue us Transcripts?

o The University does not issue transcripts. They are issued by the respective colleges. It’s the college’s
duty to issue transcripts for all academic years (Even for the final year, in-spite exams being held by
the University). In case you are a University pass-out student, then you need to check with the
concerned department.

 What is the university’s role in this process if it’s not issuing transcripts?
o The University will verify/authenticate your credentials based on the documents uploaded by you. The
documents are then digitally signed/ attested. These attested documents are then digitally sent to the
concerned agency based on the purpose inputted by the applicant.

 Where can I upload the Agency (WES, IQAS, etc) Request Form?
o You are not required to upload that form as it’s not a mandatory document from the University side. Even
if the document is uploaded, the same will be excluded before sending the other documents to the
Agency/University

 How do I track my application & how will I be informed about the status?
o Below is the sample of the application tracker. On every stage you would see it either ticked or
unticked. Unticked meaning that stage in not complete. Below the different stages you would
see REMARKS. These are the remarks for the application. You can take necessary action
regarding the same.
o Digitally signed copies will be sent to the concerned agency directly. You will be notified on the
home page of portal.

 My University/Agency is asking for documents in a sealed envelope. What should I do?
o Physical copies & Offline process has been permanently discontinued by the University of
Mumbai. So you need to ask them for the online process. The online process has already been
initiated with agencies like WES, CES, IQAS, NASBA etc

 What are the fees for the entire process

o It depends on various factors like – the type of attestation, purpose & the documents
uploaded. Follow the steps online & the system will auto calculate the fees.

 The agency where I am applying does not need Transcripts, Still the portal is asking for
Transcripts
o Transcripts are mandatory from university’s perspective. Without transcripts application will not
be processed. Hence before completing the application with the University for Attestation, you
are advised to get the transcripts from the college. This will save your time.

 My application is complete, now what am I suppose to do?? Should I contact my home college
about the verification or confirmation of the documents??
o Yes you can do that for expediting the process. The documents uploaded by you are then sent
to your home college for confirmation. Once confirmed by then, application will be processed.
So ideally without college confirmation & transcripts, application will not be processed.

 I am trying to upload my marksheets/transcript on the portal, but the page keeps on loading and
does not move forward. What should I do??
o Firstly, Kindly check the file format (Only jpg & png format allowed) & the file size (Below
7MB). Secondly, clear the cookies and try in incognito mode... and wait for a while before
trying again.

 What is the reference number?? Why is MU as the prefix??

o Depending on the purpose where you are applying... Check with the concerned
agency/University... They will only issue you a reference number. Reference number is the
unique number thru which the agency/University will identify your documents. MU is the
prefix by default to signify that the applicant if from Mumbai University.
