Hi all,
The issue of SPU transcript acceptance by WES has now been resolved.
Here's what one should do:
Get the copies of your transcript attested by the college (e.g. GCET) and carry those to the SPU office.
Now get these college attested transcripts along with two photocopy sets of mark-sheets (Notice: mark-sheets should not be attested by the college, it should only be attested by the SPU) for each semester to the SPU office. Let the person in charge at SPU know that you want both the college attested transcripts and the mark-sheets to be attested by the Asst. Registrar and put both inside an envelope. Post or courier this sealed, signed and stamped envelope to WES and you're done.
Here's the explanation why do we include mark-sheets along with the transcripts:
I called WES and figured that they need the transcripts on the letterhead of the University and not the college. I don't know about the other colleges affiliated to SPU but GCET (when it was affiliated to SPU) issued the transcripts with the college logo and letterhead. So I emailed Asst. registrar SPU asking how to resolve this issue? Thankfully, he responded promptly with a proper explanation that I should include mark-sheets along with the transcripts inside the envelope. Now because mark-sheets were issued by the University with University logo and the letterhead, WES could treat it as a secondary proof and could compare it with the transcript. This made perfect sense, so I followed what he said and guess what my SPU transcripts are accepted.
Good luck
