How long does it take to receive the degree by post after the convocation?

I have completed my mps course. But in Grade card there’s a 22 marks difference in one assignment subject. When I contacted RC they informed me that my name is on convocation list. So there’s no way to change my marks. I have been complaining in igram and through emails since February 2022. This is actually injustice. I’ve tried so hard and visited RC even though my home is so far from Regional centre. Is there anyway to get my marks?
You should go to head quarters maidan garhi or if they don’t listen then just file a complaint against them on UGC. Go along with your proofs
I am from kerala and working for daily wage. I can’t go to Delhi. So i tried to get help from regional centre. But RC Assistant director told me that there’s no way to get my marks after the issuance of original certificate.I couldn’t get a chance to complaint , before that my provisional certificate has arrived (just a day after completion of grade card).
Sir convocation ki date to chali gai ab kaise kya kru plz sir
I feel you have been provided with wrong info, I personally faced this. They had delivered wrong marksheet which was the marks received originally but after reevaluation my marks had increased, i had mailed number of times but they didn’t replied.
So what i did is, went to HQ with original marksheet and provisional certificate, they took time but corrected all and issued a new marksheet without charge. They had taken one written application.
Or else you can courier your original along with an application to reissue as per correct details, but I personally don’t prefer this as there is high chance of ignorance.
Or else you take help from any of your friends/family who can visit with Original along with your consent letter.
You can call on 011-29572204 and check for possible solutions, please verify and then only take step.
While doing the registration for my convocation, by mistake, I have opted ‘NO” for the option “Whether willing to attend the Convocation at Regional Centre/Head Quarter “. But actually I wish to attend the convocation personally at the Regional Center – Kaloor, Cochin. (Regional Center Code – 14000).I have sent lot of mails regarding this to head quarters and regional center. But I didn’t get any reply regarding this. In this case, What can I do for including my name in the convocation list?
You can’t do anything if u have selected to no
what if i missed the convocation because of any unavoidable circumstances?
i am unable to open this link and register
Should we apply for convocation if we have completed certification course?
