I applied for ECA of my one year PGDEMS from Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences Pune (affiliated to Symbiosis International University) AOR2 5th Nov. However, my status changed from "in line for processing" to "On Hold". Furthermore, I received an email from the assessing officer that my assessment is on hold for the reason "Transcripts/marks sheets for your PG diploma program must be issued and sealed by the Symbiosis International University (not by the Simbiosis Institute of Health Sciences)" and have requested me to get the transcripts sent by university. As per university guidelines for issuing transcripts, university only issues transcripts for degree programs under CGPA and for marking system and diplomas, the transcripts are issued by the respective institute/institution. This is mentioned on University's website as well on the transcript application form. I am a bit confused and not sure, if I sent the above justification as reply to IQAS, would they accept this and do a successful evaluation or can this lead to a negative assessment. Is it mandatory to have transcripts issued and sealed by university? Has anyone faced similar issue and what was the outcome? Look forward to inputs from the forum.
