Faster issuance of transcripts, degree certificates expected as Pune University plans system revamp

This would sometimes even lead to delays in students’ further study plans as most of them would miss out on deadlines for scholarships and other opportunities.

“The online process of procuring transcripts and degree certificates will be much faster and cost-efficient for both the students and the university,” Sasane said.

A proposal to make this entire process paperless and online is underway and will be presented at an upcoming examination and evaluation board meeting, said Mahesh Kakade, director of SPPU’s exam department.

Students will be able to get their degree/graduation certificates, passing certificates, marksheets, transcripts, special certificates, rank certificates, transfer certificates and certificates required for foreign universities online. In the first phase of implementation, students will be able to obtain transcripts through the online process and the remaining documents in the second phase.

The entire process of getting the requisite documents from the university os expected to reduce by seven to 15 days.

An appointed Examination Reform Committee has been looking into various improvements that can be made in the exam department.
