Original, duplicate, or provisional degree certificate from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), delivered to your door in India or abroad.
Need your original, duplicate, or provisional degree certificate from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS)? FACTS applies on your behalf, follows up with the university, and delivers the certificate to your door in India or abroad.
If you completed your RGUHS-affiliated course, cleared any pending backlogs, and simply have not yet collected your certificate — whether because you missed convocation, moved abroad, or graduated some years ago — FACTS can apply for the original degree certificate on your behalf. We confirm your affiliated college, course, and year of passing, submit the request to RGUHS, and track it until it is ready for dispatch.
If your original certificate is lost, stolen, damaged, or illegible, RGUHS can issue a duplicate on application, typically supported by an affidavit declaring the loss or damage. FACTS prepares the required affidavit format, submits the duplicate application, and follows up until it is delivered.
A provisional certificate is issued soon after your final results are declared, ahead of the formal convocation, and confirms that you completed your RGUHS-affiliated degree. It is accepted for some immediate purposes, but most employers, licensing bodies — including nursing and medical councils — and immigration authorities eventually require the final degree certificate issued at or after convocation. FACTS can help determine which document your specific requirement calls for.
Graduates often use these terms interchangeably, and for RGUHS they generally refer to the same final document, since the degree certificate is formally issued at convocation. The application procedure differs slightly depending on whether you are requesting an original certificate you never collected, a duplicate for one that is lost or damaged, or confirmation for a convocation you missed. FACTS assists with all three request types.
RGUHS is the affiliating university for medical and allied health education across Karnataka, so this certificate applies to graduates of a wide range of programs. Application details can vary slightly by program and affiliated college, and FACTS confirms the exact requirements for your specific course before applying.
MBBS, BDS, MD/MS, MDS, and DM/MCh graduates typically request their degree certificate for medical council registration, professional licensing abroad, higher specialization admissions, or employment verification. These are often the same graduates who separately need transcripts sent to bodies such as ECFMG, PEBC, or the medical councils of destination countries — a process covered in more detail in our RGUHS Transcript guide.
BSc Nursing, MSc Nursing, GNM, and Post Basic BSc Nursing graduates commonly need their degree certificate for state or overseas nursing council registration, employment abroad, or further study. Because nursing licensing bodies frequently also want the university to confirm the degree independently, many nursing graduates request both the degree certificate and degree verification together.
B.Pharm, M.Pharm, and PharmD graduates typically need the degree certificate for Pharmacy Council registration, employment with pharmaceutical companies, or further academic admissions. Documentation requirements are broadly similar to other RGUHS streams, though FACTS confirms any pharmacy-specific nuances at the quote stage.
BPT, MPT, BASLP, and BOT graduates request their degree certificate for professional registration, employment, or higher study, both within India and abroad. As allied health licensing requirements continue to evolve internationally, FACTS reviews the current requirements for your destination before submitting your application.
BHMS, BAMS, and BNYS graduates follow the same core degree certificate process at RGUHS, with council registration and employment verification being the most common use cases. If you also need a Medium of Instruction letter for a visa or admission requirement, see our RGUHS Medium of Instruction guide.
Because these three documents are often confused, here is how they typically compare:
| Document | When It's Issued | Typical Use | Can FACTS Help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provisional Certificate | Shortly after final results | Immediate proof of completion, some admissions | Yes |
| Original Degree Certificate | At or after convocation | Employment, licensing, immigration, further study | Yes |
| Duplicate Degree Certificate | On application, after loss/damage | Replaces a lost, stolen, or damaged original | Yes |
| Degree Verification | On request, separate process | Independent confirmation direct from RGUHS | Yes → |
Graduates typically need their RGUHS degree certificate for one or more of the following: registering with a state or national professional council (medical, dental, nursing, or pharmacy), applying for jobs in India or abroad that require proof of qualification, pursuing higher studies, supporting an immigration or work visa application, or completing attestation/apostille formalities for use in another country. Many of these use cases also require the transcript or a separate confirmation directly from the university — FACTS can advise which document (or combination) your specific requirement calls for.
You are generally eligible to apply for your RGUHS degree certificate if you completed your affiliated course, cleared any pending backlogs or dues with your college, and have your provisional certificate or final marksheets available for reference. If you are unsure which college or examination cycle your records fall under — for example, after a college closure, merger, or renaming — FACTS can help identify the correct details before submitting the application. Eligibility for a duplicate certificate additionally depends on being able to declare the loss or damage of the original through the required affidavit process.
Exact requirements vary by scenario. The three most common situations are outlined below, and FACTS confirms the precise list for your case at the quote stage.
Typically needed: your provisional certificate or final-year marksheet copy, a government-issued photo ID, a recent passport-size photograph, and confirmation of your affiliated college and year of passing.
Typically needed: an affidavit declaring the certificate lost, stolen, or damaged (FACTS prepares the required format), a copy of the damaged certificate if available, your provisional certificate or marksheet, and a government-issued photo ID.
Typically needed: all of the above, plus supporting evidence of the name change, such as a gazette notification, marriage certificate, or court order, depending on the reason for the change.
RGUHS processes degree certificate applications according to its own internal schedules, which can vary by program, affiliated college, and the specific type of request (original, duplicate, or name-change). Rather than quoting a fixed number of days that may not hold true for every case, FACTS reviews your specific situation and gives you a realistic estimate once your documents are checked, along with regular status updates until delivery.
Once FACTS receives your details and documents, we review them for completeness, prepare the application in the format RGUHS expects, and submit it through the appropriate channel. From there, we track the application's status directly with the university, follow up where needed to avoid unnecessary delays, and arrange secure courier dispatch once the certificate is ready — with tracking details shared so you always know where your document is.

We submit the degree/convocation application and follow up with the university.
Your degree certificate is couriered to you with tracking.
Applying directly to a university can mean navigating unfamiliar forms, uncertain follow-up channels, and long silences while your application sits in a queue. FACTS has supported thousands of applicants across Indian universities, including RGUHS-affiliated graduates, by managing the paperwork, tracking the application, and keeping you informed until your certificate is in hand.
The most frequent causes we see are mismatched names between the marksheet and ID, an affiliated college that has since closed, merged, or been renamed, missing backlog clearance, and incomplete proof of identity. Applications for duplicate certificates are sometimes delayed further when the supporting affidavit is not in the format the university expects, or when the loss/damage declaration is incomplete. FACTS reviews your documents before submission specifically to catch these issues in advance, which reduces the chance of the application being sent back for correction.
Because RGUHS affiliates a large number of medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health colleges across Karnataka, some affiliated colleges from earlier years have since closed, merged with another institution, or been renamed. This does not mean your academic records are lost — RGUHS, as the affiliating and examining body, typically retains the underlying degree records independently of whether the college itself is still operating under its original name. FACTS helps identify the correct current reference for your college and examination cycle before submitting your degree certificate application, so the request goes to the right place the first time, avoiding delays caused by contacting the wrong department or an outdated address on file.
Once your degree certificate is ready, FACTS arranges secure courier delivery to addresses in India or abroad, with tracking provided throughout so you know exactly when to expect it. If your destination country or employer additionally requires attestation, apostille, or embassy legalization of the certificate, FACTS can advise on and assist with these follow-on steps as a separate service, since attestation requirements vary significantly by destination country and intended use. This is particularly common for nursing and medical graduates pursuing licensing or employment in the Gulf, Europe, or North America, where an apostilled or embassy-attested certificate is often requested alongside the original document.
A BSc Nursing graduate who completed her degree at an RGUHS-affiliated college several years ago never collected her final degree certificate at convocation, and now needs it for an overseas nursing licensing application. FACTS confirms her affiliated college and year of passing, submits the application to RGUHS, and arranges international courier delivery once the certificate is ready. If the licensing body also requires the university to confirm the degree independently, she may separately need degree verification.
It is the official document issued by Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences confirming that you completed your affiliated medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, or allied health sciences degree.
At RGUHS, the final degree certificate is generally issued during convocation, so most graduates mean the same document when using either term. FACTS handles original, uncollected and duplicate requests under the same process.
It is normally still available on application. FACTS submits the request through the appropriate channel and follows up until it is ready.
No. The provisional certificate is issued shortly after results are declared, while the final degree certificate is issued later, usually at or after convocation.
RGUHS issues it directly, since it is the affiliating university for your course. Your college manages day-to-day teaching but does not issue the final degree certificate.
The overall process is similar, but exact documentation and internal timelines can vary by program and affiliated college. FACTS confirms this for your specific course.
Typically your provisional certificate or final-year marksheet, a government ID, a passport-size photo, and, for duplicate applications, an affidavit declaring the certificate lost or damaged.
Processing time depends on RGUHS's internal processing and your specific program. FACTS provides a realistic estimate once your case is reviewed.
Fees are shared on request based on certificate type, program and delivery destination, since they are not fixed.
