Process to receive an
official transcript from DTE (Department of Technical Education), Karnataka
The process to get an official transcript is pretty simple,
however, it may look complicated if you are not familiar with the way
government organization function. I completed my Diploma in E & C in 2004
in one of the recognized polytechnic in Bangalore. What I found when applying
for my official transcript is that the college does not have a clear idea of
what an official transcript is, neither is there any procedure hosted on the internal
college or the DTE website. Here is the simple definition of a transcript.
“A transcript is an official summary of
your academic performance and progress to date. It will only include final
marks confirmed by the appropriate Examination Board. A transcript may be
required by prospective employers or educational institutions to which you are
applying.”
If you are a student who studied a 3 year Diploma course
from any one of the colleges listed in the below link, then this blog is for
you. I have listed down the steps to obtain the official transcript as you plan
for higher studies or applying for a job abroad.
STEP 1: List of
documents required from the student
a)
Mark
sheets (Original* and 2 photo copies of the same) – Mark sure the photo copies
are legible and no part of the content from the original is chopped/missing.
The second photo copy will remain with the DTE as proof.
Note: Please include all the 3
years mark sheets even if you have any failed subjects.
b)
Diploma
Certificate (Original* and 2 photo copies of the same) - Mark sure the photo
copies are legible and no part of the content from the original is chopped/missing.
The second photo copy will remain with the DTE as proof.
c)
Consolidated
Mark sheet – Some colleges require you to submit a consolidated mark sheet
(i.e. all the three years marks in a single sheet). Refer the template below to
prepare your own consolidated mark sheet.
d)
Waterproof
Envelope (A4 size) – This is to enclose the photo copies of the mark sheet,
diploma certificate, consolidated mark sheet and a letter from the DTE.
* Originals are required only for presenting to the DTE
staff for verification. Do not enclose the originals in the envelope.
STEP 2: Applying for
the transcript
a)
Challan
– DTE requires that a payment of Rs.
3000 be made through challan to facilitate the transcript to the student.
The challan has to be paid in favor of DTE, Karnataka and payment has to be
made at the State Bank of Mysore,
Shivajinagar Branch. You will receive a
receipt of the payment which has to be submitted to the DTE along with your
documents. You can get the callan either at the bank or from a stationary shop
near the DTE, Bangalore.
Note: You may apply for any number
of transcripts at a time from the DTE and the amount remains the same.
b)
Document
submission to DTE – Enclose all the documents mentioned below in the
Waterproof envelope (A4 Size) and submit it to the DTE staff** for
verification. Once the photo copies of your documents are verified against the
originals the staff will return your original documents back to you. Write a
letter in a plain sheet addressed to the Secretary, Board of Technical Exams
requesting for the transcript. Now submit the below documents in the envelope.
a.
Mark sheet photo copies (In the order of your
passing starting from 1st Year to 3rd Year)
b.
Diploma Certificate photo copy
c.
Consolidated Mark sheet (Refer point ‘c’ in STEP
1)
c)
Receiving
Your Transcript – You will receive your transcript from the staff after it
has been attested by the Secretary, Board of Technical Exams, with his
signature and seal on all your enclosed documents. This will also include a
letter from the DTE providing a brief summary of your course and the mode of
education. The staff will finally show you the final copy in the envelope
before it is sealed with the official stamp.
