Dear @Malavika_M
According to UGC guidelines, institutions should not insist on original certificates during admission; self-attested copies are acceptable. However, universities may require verified academic records before confirming admissions. Here’s how you can proceed:
- Provisional Documents: Request a provisional degree certificate and attested marksheets from Bangalore City University to submit as interim proof.
- Digital Verification: Ensure all available marksheets are uploaded to DigiLocker, the National Academic Depository, for secure and verifiable access.
- Official Communication: Provide Symbiosis International University with official letters from your college and university explaining the delay in document issuance.
- UGC Clarification: Contact the UGC directly to seek clarification on their policies regarding admissions without original certificates due to institutional delays.
- Alternative Programs: Explore other institutions or programs that may have more flexible admission policies under these circumstances.
If you continue to face difficulties, consider escalating the matter to higher authorities within the university or seeking legal advice to ensure your educational rights are protected.
However, given that the delay is from Bangalore City University, you may request Bangalore City University to issue a provisional certificate and a consolidated marksheet as an interim document. Further, Aaproach UGC’s grievance redressal portal (pgportal.gov.in) to seek clarity and intervention.
