Hi guys,
I have completed my MBA from Annamalai University. I wish to get a transcript from them. They never take the call nor answer emails. But, after frequently trying, the COE ( CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATION) told me that,they charge $50 or Rs 3500 for a single transcript. I checked the transcript rate in almost all the universities. Even the central universities charge quite low. I inquired at renowned universities that are close to this university and also have much better standard of education such as Anna university, MKU ( ,Madurai Kamraj University), VIT ( Vellore Institute of Technology). All of them charges between Rs 250 - 500. But Annamalai charges 6- 7 times of it.
The story doesn't ends here.. The COE of Annamalai university also told me that, they have 2 different rates for transcripts in India as well as out of India. For Indian transcript they are charging Only Rs 50 but for other foreign countries it is Rs 3500 flat. I never came across such a disparity of rate in other universities. And when I asked why is it so.., the authority replied that.. it is UGC norm. Can anybody tell me whether it is actually UGC norm? I doubt. They are simply doing business in the name of UGC.
I am not from a very rich background but to build up my career I am trying immigration to Canada. I am sure, many of my friends participating in this forum also have finnancial hurdles. Getting transcript is not all. There after, we have to get it evaluate from WES for $200.there are postage charges to and from WES fir receiving ECA report. Now, tell me how much we can afford ? The charges in each steps of immigration process is genuine and authentic. Even the WES fee is authentic. But, what about the unauthorized and base less charge of such a high transcript fee at Annamalai university?
Friends, kindly help me and yourself if you all need transcript from Annamalai university by protesting this MALPRACTICE. If anyone have any suggestion for me kindly donot hesitate
