Applying for a transcript from Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) seems straightforward until you get to the submission window and realize you are missing one specific document. A single missing paper or an unclear scan can result in your application being rejected, forcing you to start the 30-day waiting period all over again.
Whether you are applying for WES (World Education Services), higher education abroad, or PR in Canada/USA, keeping this checklist handy is essential.
Here is the complete, updated list of documents required for Pune University Transcripts in 2025.
1. The Core Academic Documents (Mandatory)
You must have clear, legible scans (for online upload) and clear photocopies (for physical submission) of the following:
A. Statement of Marks (Mark Sheets)
- All Years Required: You need mark sheets for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year (and 4th/5th year for Architecture/Engineering/Pharmacy).
- The “Backlog” Rule: If you failed a subject and re-appeared, you must include the failed mark sheet as well as the passing one. The transcript is a history of all attempts.
- Format: Do not crop the images. The university logo, seat number, and bottom margin must be visible.
B. Degree Certificate (Convocation Certificate)
- This is the final certificate received at the convocation ceremony.
- Recent Graduates: If you have just graduated and the convocation hasn’t happened yet, a Provisional Degree Certificate issued by your college is acceptable.
- PhD Students: You need the Notification of PhD declaration.
2. Identity & Administrative Documents
SPPU requires proof of identity to ensure the transcript is being issued to the correct person.
- Photo ID Proof:
- Passport: (Highly recommended for international applicants).
- Aadhar Card: (Acceptable for domestic use).
- TC / Leaving Certificate: A College Leaving Certificate (LC) or Transfer Certificate (TC). This is often required to verify your name spelling and Date of Birth against the university ledger.
3. Documents for WES/ICAS/IQAS Applicants
If you are sending your documents for credential evaluation (ECA), you need one critical extra document:
- Academic Records Request Form:
- This form is provided by WES (or ICAS/IQAS) after you register with them.
- Your Job: Fill out the top section (Reference Number and Personal Details).
- University’s Job: The Registrar will sign and stamp the bottom section and place it inside the sealed envelope.
4. Special Scenarios (Don’t Miss These)
Scenario A: Name Change
If your name on the mark sheet is different from your current ID (e.g., due to marriage), you must provide:
- Government Gazette Copy OR
- Marriage Certificate.
Scenario B: Gap in Education
If you took a break during your degree, some departments at SPPU may request a Gap Affidavit explaining the break, though this is less common for transcripts than for admission.
5. Technical Requirements for Online Upload
If you are using the qpd.unipune.ac.in portal or sending files to WES Pune Transcript, follow these scanning rules to avoid rejection:
- File Type: PDF or JPG.
- Resolution: 200-300 DPI (Readable, but not too heavy).
- Size Limit: Strictly under 500 KB per file (Check current portal limits).
- Naming Convention: Name your files clearly (e.g., Sem1_Marksheet.pdf, Degree_Cert.pdf).
