I am gonna apply under SDS from India for MBA in a Public University
Good academics 10th/12th/B.E and around 7+ years of work experience in Top 3 MNC's. I had 2 backlogs in the first and second semesters and the passing year of these two semesters on transcripts are the same as the passing year of the 3rd and 4th semesters.
I don't know
if just uploading transcripts would work

Or do I need to upload marks sheets as well?

Or include backlog mark sheets as well

I read in many threads people uploading just transcripts and getting their visa, people with 10+ backlogs. I don't want to overcomplicate the case or draw unwanted attention to the backlogs. I am in a confused state :(

This is what the checklist has mentioned:
Photocopy of the most recent diploma or leaving certificate, and most recent mark sheets (for the entire program; consolidated mark sheets are NOT acceptable)
Other educational certificates diplomas or degrees (including all mark sheets)

But this might be for Non SDS Category.

I personally know people who have applied with just a consolidated mark sheet and got the visa within 20 days

Attested Completion letter
Attested Consolidated mark sheet
Attested Individual mark sheets

UPDATe: just checked the checklist for SDS; It says
  • have your most recent secondary or post-secondary school transcript(s)

So I believe attested transcripts and mark sheets should be fine

Correct, I checked the website too, so just follow what the checklist says.
