We’ll try to establish a process with your institute to get your Transcripts for you.

Source and recipient institutions have strict document requirements to issue Transcripts.
Applicants often send us documents which are either photos, blurred unreadable copies of the original, truncated documents with one of the edges and/or content missing, the scanned document is too small as compared with the original.
University Seal is truncated or missing.
Dark/light/shiny patches and shadow on the documents.
Any of the above documents are not fit to issue Transcripts and often lead to rejection and thus wastage of your valuable time and money.
To avoid this, we request you to send clear scan copies of the documents.

Often degree certificates and university-issued mark sheets for some institutes are oversized and don’t fit our normal home scanners. We advise you to take them to a business center like FedEx/UPS XEROX Machine stores or use a commercial scanner with document reducers. Take clear copies of the documents and send them to us.

Usually, the year of the award on your WES evaluation report refers to the year you passed the final degree examination.

WES evaluates studies completed at Sikkim Manipal University from 2016 onwards. WES does not evaluate studies completed at Sikkim Manipal University prior to 2016. If your program was completed at this institution prior to 2016, do not include this credential in your application. If included, this will cause a delay in processing your evaluation.

WES accepts both consolidated transcripts and yearly mark sheets provided they are issued and sent by degree granting institutions and provide a full record of all completed coursework.

In August 2021, WES updated a policy for applicants educated in India. The update allows for applicants to send a sealed envelope from their institution directly
to WES. If the envelope has been opened, or if it does not have a stamp or signature across the back flap from an appropriate governing body, then it will not be accepted by WES.
Applicants can confirm their new eligibility by logging into My Account and reviewing their Required Documents. Previously, from December 1, 2018, the policy stated that only institutions could send academic documents (such as marksheets) to WES.

Additionally, WES has digital partnerships with a growing number of institutions in India. This enables those institutions to send academic documents electronically. Applicants should learn if their institution has a digital partnership with WES. If so, they should request that this method be used to send their documents. It is the fastest and most secure way to send documents to WES. If the institution does not already have a digital partnership with WES, then the applicant should encourage their institution to submit a Digital Partnership Form to initiate one.
