Academic credentials issued by a university form the backbone of a professional or academic journey. For graduates of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), these credentials include degree certificates, marks cards, consolidated marks cards, provisional pass certificates, and official academic transcripts. Over time, graduates may face situations that require re-issuance, correction, or official documentation for legal, academic, or professional purposes. These situations can be complex and time-sensitive, especially when the documentation is needed for employment abroad, licensing authorities, further education, or immigration.
Understanding the procedures, documentation requirements, timelines, and possible challenges is vital to ensuring that your request is processed accurately and without unnecessary delays. FACTS Transcripts offers professional, end-to-end support to navigate these academic documentation processes with clarity and efficiency.
Why Academic Documentation Matters
Academic documents are used for multiple critical purposes, including:
-
Verification by foreign credential evaluation agencies
-
Submission to licensing boards and regulatory authorities
-
Admission to advanced degree programs
-
Employment applications in government or private sectors
-
Immigration and skilled migration assessments
-
Legal or institutional requirements
Mistakes, loss, or incomplete documentation can create significant obstacles. Therefore, many graduates require duplicate certificates, corrected marks cards, or official transcripts directly from the university.
Types of Academic Document Services
Duplicate Degree Certificate
A duplicate degree certificate is issued when an original degree certificate has been:
-
Lost
-
Damaged
-
Misplaced
-
Destroyed
-
Stolen
Graduates may need a duplicate degree certificate to:
-
Present proof of qualification for employment
-
Apply for foreign licensing or immigration
-
Submit for higher education admission
FACTS Transcripts assists in gathering the required paperwork, verifying eligibility, and submitting the application to the university for a duplicate certificate.
Duplicate Marks Card
Marks cards provide detailed records of academic performance in individual exams or semesters. A duplicate marks card is needed when the original has been:
-
Lost
-
Damaged
-
Faded
-
Confiscated by authorities incorrectly
To request a duplicate marks card, the applicant must provide proof of identity, details of the original marks card, and any prescribed affidavits or police reports if required.
FACTS Transcripts guides you through the complete process to ensure accurate submission and verification.
Correction in Marks Card
Official marks cards must be accurate records of your academic performance. However, errors can occur due to:
-
Spelling mistakes in your name
-
Incorrect marks or credits
-
Wrong registration or roll numbers
-
Discrepancies in subject codes
If errors are found, a formal correction request must be made to the university. The process may require:
-
Submission of supporting documents
-
Affidavits or sworn statements
-
Identity verification
-
Fee payment for correction services
FACTS Transcripts helps identify issues in the original documents and prepares a correction request that complies with university procedures.
Consolidated Marks Card
A consolidated marks card compiles all semester or year-wise marks into one official document. Many regulatory authorities and evaluation agencies abroad prefer consolidated marks cards as they are easier to verify compared to multiple individual cards.
Applying for a consolidated marks card typically requires:
-
Proof of previous individual marks cards
-
Details of completed examinations
-
Identity verification
FACTS Transcripts manages the process from document collection to submission, ensuring compliance with university rules.
Provisional Pass Certificate
A Provisional Pass Certificate is issued to students who have completed their final examinations and results have been announced, but the formal degree certificate has not yet been issued. This document confirms:
-
Successful completion of the academic program
-
Eligibility to graduate
-
Eligibility to pursue further studies or careers
The PDC serves as a temporary proof of qualification while the degree certificate is processed and issued.
FACTS Transcripts assists in preparing and submitting online or offline applications for the Provisional Pass Certificate, including verification of marks and eligibility.

-
Courses taken

-
Credits earned
Transcripts are one of the most widely used documents worldwide because they provide a complete picture of your academic journey.
Official transcripts are usually required:
-
By foreign universities
