    Though this may not be a universal problem, generally speaking, Indian universities don't send transcripts to other universities to which their students are applying. Usually, students are issued a marksheet/certificate (transcript), and are expected to keep that in good condition to show to other institutions in which they may study and/or seek employment. Sometimes they can issue what is called a "migration certificate", but even that is issued to the student.

    This can be a pain in the neck, especially for students who plan on later proceeding to a university in, say, the US, where many institutions of higher learning will not accept a transcript that isn't sent directly from the university in which the student studied.

    Peace,

    Yes, unfortunatly it is like that

    Annamalai university and other universtities in India do not send transcripts to their evaluation agencies. What I could instead do is to get my transcripts acknowldedged or attested by the directors/deans from those universities.

    That might be your best option to determining whether your India-earned degree is equivalent to a US-earned BA/BS degree. A public notary might also suffice but check with the evaluation service first.

    I work with someone who completed 2 years on campus of university in India and then finished the degree (Years 3 & 4) on campus of their bachelor degree in Canada. Therefore, there is certainly reason to think your degree should evaluate to the equivalent degree in the USA.

    FYI, some degrees, and professions, such as medicine sometimes require the professional to write certification examinations before being able to practise medicine in North America.
