Getting transcripts from Anna University

September 21, 2008 by vijay03

Location: The huge white building in the far interior of the highways department, two buildings to the left of Anna University campus

Problems: No xerox shop, no stationary shop at the place where you get transcripts. Nearest xerox shop is in Anna University ( near MU Canteen ), or at Madhya Kailash, Adyar. For stationary, Cooperative society near Main Building will do.

Stuff you need to buy: A large A3 green cloth cover ( like the one used for couriers ), Fevicol, pen [ Trust me, you will get NOTHING at the transcripts office, and its a loooooog walk to any stationary shop ]

Note: Lunch time approximately from 12.30 or 1 to 2 PM

Steps:

Decide which universities you are going to apply to.
Find out from university website how many transcripts they require – some take 2, some take 1
Count total number of transcripts required, add 1 to that ( for backup ).
Get one xerox copy of your marksheet [ front and back, on FULLSCAPE paper ] for each transcript you need. If you have finished college, get xerox copies of your degree also, front and back, on fullscape paper. If your marksheet is consolidated, take it on A3 paper.
Take a DD addressed to Controller of Examinations, Anna University, Chennai-25, for 200*no of required transcripts. Apparently they sometimes ask for list of universities and verification of date of birth, so take stuff for that also.
Put the DD, the xerox copies and the originals in the A3 cloth cover.
Write your Name, register number, college and branch on back of DD and on the A3 cover.
Go to the Transcripts Office and ask for an application. Fill it up. Write the application number on DD and on A3 cover. Remember the application number, its the only proof you have submitted your originals.
After about a week, go there with fevicol. The guy there will give you your attested photocopies back along with AU transcript covers. Put the photocopies in the covers and paste them.
After you give the pasted covers to the guy there, he will give you back your originals after getting your sign on a form. Thats it

P.S Since the time I made this post, apparently a lot has changed in the procedure. Thanks to the kind folk who are commenting on the new procedure. Take a look at the comments for the latest in the procedure.

Dear Pals,

I am actually not from chennai and it was such a horrible experience even after taking information from this blog, the anna university transcript section procedure sucks, they don’t provide the required information in the website and they have pasted a notice just out of the counter which is not available in the website, further such a big campus, no proper information in the website, i took the photocopies of all certificates in legal size(except consolidated which i took in A3), this was very informative, but consolidated marksheet is slightly bigger than A3 and in the edge of the marksheet you can find “Controller of Examination” along with his seal will be missed out in any sort of Photocopying machine, this will never be printed in those copies, so i was asked to bring photocopies of consolidated marksheet alone with that information is also to be found
on October 6, 2008 at 12:05 pm | Reply Anushyantan

I could bring that information in those A3 copies only after printing the scanned images of the consolidated marksheet, if u photocopy from any machine the data in the edge will not appear on the copies, one of the student advised me to photocopy it from a shop called “Student Xerox” in adayar, never ever think of walking all the way to adayar, it screws one’s ass, such a long fucking walk it will be, take a bus from anna university bus stop and get down near adayar bus stop, just opposite to the adayar bus stop you can find “student xerox ” shop

don’t hire an auto that bastard is going to loot your money, if you go by your own vehicle thats well and good,

Best way to get the transcript is,
1. reach adayar bus stop
2. take photocopies of your certificates in “student xerox” shop, it seems to be expensive here,
3. total number of photocopies to be taken is explained with an example below

no of univs planning to apply = 4
no of transcripts provided by anna univ assholes for 4 univs = 4*2 = 8
so total number of certificates = 8 sem mark sheets+ 1 consolidated + 1 degree= 10
total number of copies to be made per certificate = 8

I don’t understand why the fuck the anna univ bastards ask for 100 bucks for 2 transcripts,

we spend for photocopying, we spend for gum, we waste our energy walking all the fucking way, these bosudike’s sitting and just imprinting seal over the copies what we provided is taking too much of money from us, never ever this university is going to be student friendly, i never asked for anna university to conduct exams for my degree, these bastards make a lot of money by this, sorry for the profanity in my language, but i don’t know how to retribute my pain what i experienced in the university, they will never understand, all the universities in the neighbouring states follow simple procedure to provide Transcripts,

Go to Hell Anna University, it is such a big disgrace because of your laziness

@Venkster:

Its not so much hard as frustrating. I had to walk once all the way back to anna univ because one of my marksheets didnt have the back properly photocopied. It would be so much and great business if they had a photocopier there. Selling fevicol would be great too. Plus cloth covers. Oh, well

Why the fuck should I pay money to get “MY” marksheets from the university to which “I’m” affiliated ?
We pay the tuition fee for 4 years right ?
Atleast they gotta give 10 copies of transcripts for free, and charge for more transcripts…thats how it is everywhere throughout the world.
Money…money….money….go to fucking hell with ur indian education system.

Great tutorial! Very informative in how well worded and descriptive you were! You know they say that if one knows how to describe what they want really well, then life is just as good as how you describe it
Its great for people who feel like time is running against them and then land on your blog and feel like a whole burden was just lifted off of their shoulder.. I admire and respect people who take time to make it easier for others.. Thanks a bunch!

Hey do we need to submit the marksheets of every semester individually? Because in CEG we get our marksheets updated after every semester. That is the most recent marksheet contains the grades of all previous semesters. So do we still need to produce those individual marksheets or will the final marksheet be enough ?
- on September 10, 2009 at 2:32 am | Reply vijay03
  
  No, CEG need to submit only consolidated marksheets. This applies to other colleges which may get consolidated marksheets too.

To get the transcript, do I need to be in person at the transcript office or my friend/family can get that for me?

@Priya and Pandiaraj:

You have to give a letter of authorization to the person collecting on your behalf. But this is a little erratic – Some of the staff accept the letter of authorization and some of them don’t.

Original marksheets are required so that they can verify I think.

Thanks a lot vijay. Then i have to figure-out a way to send my originals.

on September 10, 2009 at 8:54 am | Reply Ramji

Originals are compulsory so try to send them across.

Also the transcript application form has to be filled and signed by the person applying for the transcript. Atleast thats what is written on the form. So best thing would be to ask your parents/someone else to fake your signature while applying.

While receiving the transcripts anyone can receive it on your behalf with the authorization letter.

First of all i would like to thank Vijay as this info was very useful during my application…..

***Guys I would like to know, is it mandatory to give the names of the universities you are applying to on the day we collect the transcripts, cause haven’t done so, cause i would need spares.

Can some one reply please
on September 15, 2009 at 4:41 pm | Reply Ramji

@badri: For CEG, MIT I think it is not a problem. If you want only transcripts of consolidated marksheets, you can just give only their xerox copies for getting transcripts. For affiliated colleges, I think you strongly need the marksheets of individual semesters.

@smaran: Not mandatory to give names of univs. Even if he forces you to, try to talk to him.

The blog says “After you give the pasted covers to the guy there, he will give you back your originals after getting your sign on a form.” in the 11th point

Should we give the pasted covers to them? Should we not send them by ourselves along with other papers like SoP, publications etc??

Please clear ths doubt..
on September 21, 2009 at 12:08 pm | Reply Mani

I think for one transcript, they charge Rs 200. So, for each university that requires 2 copies of transcripts, we need to pay Rs 400 per univ. I am planning to apply to 10 univs and this means i should spend Rs 4000 for the transcripts alone. Apart from this i need to get the xerox copies of all my marksheets myself. Why the hell they charge so much for these stuff???
on September 28, 2009 at 5:36 pm | Reply ashwin

@Mani To answer your first doubt, Anna Univ attests each copy and then gives you AnnA University envelopes. YOU NEED TO PASTE IT YOURSELF at the office.

When you send your university applications to the US, you will send your SOPS along with this sealed transcript envelope.

FYI, if anyone’s interested I’d a pleasant surprise waiting at the transcript office today.I’d submitted 15 copies of both my provisional cert n consolidated marksheet. Both were on Legal size paper, photocopied both on front and back. I was also required to submit the originals of both of these along with the DD and the guy sitting there asked me collect the transcripts on Tue.I’d applied for 15 copies and I’m getting them in less than a week. Anna Univ’s efficiency levels are through the roof.

Full disclosure: I’m a student of Ac Tech.Dunno if that helped or not.

The post is really really helpful. Thanks a lot for posting this info.

Here are a couple more links that could be helpful:
APPLICATION FOR ISSUE OF TRANSCRIPTS: http://www.annauniv.edu/coe/trans_app.doc

Transcripts instructions (the printout that they’ve pasted at the transcripts office):
http://www.annauniv.edu/coe/transcript.pdf

AU Controller of Exams webpage: http://www.annauniv.edu/coe/info.html

That said, I have the following questions:
1. Can someone please explain Vijay’s step no. 4 with an example?
2. Which of the following formulas are correct:
DD_AMOUNT = FEE_PER_TRANSCRIPT * NO_OF_UNIVS
or
DD_AMOUNT = FEE_PER_TRANSCRIPT * NO_OF_TRANSCRIPT_SETS

FEE_PER_TRANSCRIPT is Rs. 200 right now.
3. Some of the univs i apply to require electronic transcripts. Has someone done electronic transcripts before?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi guys,

Great site! Great info!
I am currently in US and passed out 2002 from Bharathidasan Univ, I heard now all colleges in TN are under Anna Univ, so do I contact bharathidasan Univ or Anna Univ for my transcripts. I am thinking of using http://www.yourmaninindia.com service, since I have no living close to Bharathidasan univ, but there are folks living in chennai.
For guys applying to US univs- Are universities here asking for both individual marksheet and consolidated marksheet?? Why both??

Thanks
