Do you have questions/doubts related to the transcript application process?

Online applications at the Punjabi university website often get stuck due to multiple reasons, including (but not limited to) university website failure, payment failure on the SBI page and so on.

If you are sending hard copies of your transcript to a foreign institution, there is no way to get the tracking ID of your courier, once the university dispatches it to a foreign address (like WES, IQAS etc.)

There are many other reasons due to which online applications get stuck at a point and therefore, the applicant doesn’t get his/her transcript for months.

If this has happened to you, I may be able to provide some help. I have a ground team in Patiala, who visit the campus in person to inquire about the status of the stuck application. For providing this service, I charge a small fee.

Challenges of transcript application at Punjabi University

Applying for transcripts at Punjabi University can be quite difficult! Especially to someone who has not applied for transcripts before.

First, the official website of Punjabi university neither gives any clear information nor releases announcements or updates regarding the transcript application process. This is particularly terrible, especially because so many students apply for transcripts from OUTSIDE India, and therefore, cannot go to the university campus in person.

Then, there’s the problem of false information circulating on the internet, especially forums like Quora.

Incorrect information on Quora

When you google “how to get transcripts from Punjabi University’, you may come across a Quora page.

The following is a screenshot one of the top answers on a popular Quora page regarding Punjabi university transcripts; as you can see, this answer is from Dec 2018, which means in March 2024, it is more than 5 years old! So much about the application process has changed since then!

Similarly, there are many such answers on that particular Quora page which are either very old (and hence provide outdated information) or provide incorrect info. The fees, for example, has changed a few times in the last 5 years.

This is why I regularly update this article so that it has the latest information regarding the transcript application process.
