Anna University Transcripts

I decided to apply for my MBA and happened to visit Chennai an year before my planned application. So I thought I could apply for the transcripts while I was there and did get them without much fuss. But I did have some guidance.

I referred to these blogs. They’ve done a real good job. I just wanted to add a few things that’s not covered in these pages:

First problem is getting to the right place.

If you are like me you probably have no idea about where this building is located. Luckily I managed to get through the security (who don't allow non-staff vehicles beyond the gate). Easy way to get there is to look for the Directorate of Technical Education right next to Department of Highways Board (Well before the Main campus entrance, when coming from Raj Bhavan). Click here for a Google Maps Link to the exact location.  Security at this gate is not that restrictive and let even Autos get by and the building is just a few feet away from the gate anyway.  If you go through the main entrance, find the basket ball court behind the Science & Humanitarian building and go through a vacant piece of land to reach the side of this building.

Things you need:

  • Photo copies of Mark sheet and Degree certificate in A3 Size (Full Scape)
  • DD with Payee name as : Controller of Examinations, Anna University, Chennai-25, for 100*no of transcripts you want (Only Even number of transcripts are provided)
  • A3 Size Cloth cover

 

Now you are all set to step into bureaucratic world:

Steps:

  • You can get an application form for Transcripts from the counter
  • Fill it up with all details and make a note of the application number
  • Write Your name, registration number and application number on the back of the DD and the cloth cover
  • Place the DD, application form, original marksheet and degree certificate and the photocopies into the cloth cover and hand it over to the person in the counter.
  • You can call them to check the status at 22203013 (Not sure whether this number is still valid, but you will find the number in the transcript office).
  • After you have confirmed that your transcripts are ready (Takes one week) get a glue tube and pen and go back to the transcript office
  • You’ll be given the attested photocopies and transcript covers. Place them into the cover and paste the covers.
  • Once you show that to the person at the counter he will get your signature and give you back the originals.

Now you are all set to go back to your journey towards post graduation or whatever the purpose of getting the transcripts is :-) All the best. ..
