What a migration certificate is and when you need it
A migration certificate is issued by a university or board to show that it has no objection to you joining another university or board. You usually need it when you take admission in a different university after graduation, transfer to another university during your course, or join a programme in another state.
Since the certificate comes from the university, the application usually goes to the Registrar or the Controller of Examinations, often through your college. Many universities now accept the request online, so check your university portal first.
Documents usually attached
- Copy of your final year marksheet
- Copy of the provisional or degree certificate
- Copy of your Transfer Certificate from the college
- ID proof
- Fee receipt or challan, if the university charges a fee
Some universities also ask for the admission letter from the new university. The list and fee vary, so check with your college or university office.
Format and sample
