I write this one to aid all those who brave the journey to VTU. If you are in search of information regarding the issue of Official transcripts by VTU or attestation of Degree Certificate by The Registrar ( Evaluation ), VTU , you have hit bull's eye.<br /><br />I planned to apply for MS in US ( as do most souls in </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">India</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-size: 10pt;">). I took up with a consultant here in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Bangalore</span></st1:place></st1:City><span style="font-size: 10pt;">. I was told to get 10 photocopies of so many documents. And to add to that , there is this phenomenal attestation to get.<br /><br />Most of my friends who were applying for MS felt comfortable enough to apply for the University official transcripts by post.I, on the other hand, took this opportunity as a trip.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I took a bus ( Rajahamsa Executive </span><st1:time minute="0" hour="21"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">9:00 pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> ) from Majestic bound for Belgaum(<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">ಬೆಳಗಾವಿ</span>).This was in June when the South West Monsoon had entered the land. I reached </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Belgaum</span></st1:place></st1:City><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> at </span><st1:time minute="30" hour="7"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">7:30 AM</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> on Friday the 13th. It must have rained heavily the previous night, atleast that's how it looked. I had read a blog wherein the guy had suggested to take a bus bound for Santhibastavad ( </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 102);" class="spandisparea"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">सन्तिबस्थवड</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 102);"> </span>) from C.B.T. (Central Bus Terminal). Fortunately, the intercity bus stand in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Belgaum</span></st1:place></st1:City><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, C.B.S. is dead opposite C.B.T , the intracity bus stand. I recorded 4 buses that go to V.T.U from C.B.T. The bus numbers are : 113,122,78 and 161. The university is around 12 kms from C.B.T.<br /><br />En-route I noted the changing landscape and stark contrast of the hustle of Belgaum city center and the rustic outskirts.The bus passed through College Road, Gogte Circle off Railway station, Khanapur Road ( Tilakwadi), Khanapur road (Udhyambag), Peeranwadi, Jamboti Road and finally after beautiful 40 minutes the entrance arch of VTU welcomed me. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The sight of a lone Bank of Mysore ( Timings -> </span><st1:time minute="30" hour="10"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">10:30 AM to 4:00 Pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;">) with an attached ATM lifted my spirits. But I had already enquired before-hand and I had taken the necessary D.D.s with me.The D.D. details are as follows: I had applied for 14 official transcripts. Hence the D.D. amount came to 2200/- ( (1* 250) + (13*150)=2200 ). I also needed the attestation of Registrar V.T.U ( Evaluation) on 10 photocopies of my Degree Certificate.So I had a separate D.D. worth 1750/- ( 10*175=1750). The D.D.s are payable at </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Belgaum</span></st1:place></st1:City><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> and must be drawn in favor of " The Finance Officer,VTU, </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Belgaum</span></st1:place></st1:City><span style="font-size: 10pt;">".<br />Along with the D.D.s I was asked to submit one set of photocopies of the 1st to 8th sem marks cards ( principal attestation on these not required).<br />If there are any documents to be attested we need to take them ourselves. In my case, I took 10 photocopies with me and was asked to submit the same with the 1750/- D.D.<o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><u style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Things to Note</span></u><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">:</span> If all the necessary documents are submitted before </span><st1:time minute="30" hour="13"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1:30 pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, then the official transcripts and the attested documents will be given on the same working day.If the documents are submitted by the student after </span><st1:time minute="30" hour="13"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1:30 pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, then the transcripts will be issued on the next working day.

I had a novel ( "Five Days In Summer" by Kate Pepper) with me which I managed to finish reading by </span><st1:time minute="30" hour="14"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2:30 pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;">. Then I went around the campus and was surprised to see three rocket models ( PSLV, GSLV-D2 and GSLV- MK-III) juxtaposed near a pathway.Wonder why they are there ? VTU campus has MBA and M-Tech classes. I never knew that before.<br /> I was fortunate to receive my transcripts at </span><st1:time minute="30" hour="16"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">4:30 pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> on the same day ( friday the 13th ).I took a bus ( Rajahamsa Exec </span><st1:time minute="0" hour="19"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">7:00pm</span></st1:time><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> ) back to </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Bangalore</span></st1:place></st1:City><span style="font-size: 10pt;">.<br /><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Before you decide to venture to VTU, </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Belgaum</span></st1:place></st1:City><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> I would suggest you to call the Registrar at either of the following numbers for doubts regarding official transcripts:<br /><o:p> </o:p><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">0831-2498136 / 2498135</span><o:p><br /></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hope this blog was helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p> <br /></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">"<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">The greatest journeys are those that take you home.</span>" - 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="font-family: verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><br /></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>Hu is R.A.B ?http://www.blogger.com/profile/09669106548255676617noreply@blogger.com14
