📑 What This Guide Covers
Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), headquartered in Bengaluru, is one of India's largest health sciences universities — covering medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and allied health sciences across hundreds of affiliated colleges in Karnataka.
If you graduated from an RGUHS-affiliated college and are pursuing international medical practice (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Middle East), you'll need RGUHS transcripts and supporting documents — and the process has specific requirements that vary by destination authority.
This guide walks through everything: what RGUHS issues, how to apply, fees, processing time, and how FACTS Transcripts handles RGUHS transcripts for ECFMG, NMC, AHPRA, NCLEX, WES, and other agencies — with a 99%+ first-time acceptance rate.

How to Apply for RGUHS Transcripts
- Visit the RGUHS Registrar's Office at the main campus in Jayanagar, Bengaluru. RGUHS also offers an online portal at rguhs.ac.in for some services.
- Submit an application form specifying: destination authority (e.g., WES, ECFMG, AHPRA), reference number from that authority, your full name, registration number, course, year of completion, and college affiliated to RGUHS.
- Pay the applicable fees via demand draft favoring "Registrar, RGUHS" or via online payment. Fees vary by document type and destination.
- Submit supporting documents — photocopies of degree, mark sheets, ID proof, and the destination authority's reference confirmation if available.
- Wait for processing — typically 15–30 working days for transcripts. Syllabus copies and course content can take longer (4–6 weeks) due to manual compilation.
- Document dispatch — RGUHS will dispatch directly to the destination address. For tracked international courier, FACTS handles pickup and dispatch via DHL/FedEx.
