Academic Transcripts and Consolidated Marksheets. What is the difference?

A consolidated Marksheet is also a compilation of the grades obtained by a student in all


the semesters for a particular course. However, an academic transcript is a more authentic
piece of document that is valid across the world by different universities as it’s attested by
the university from which you are receiving that transcript. In most universities around the
world, it’s mandatory to submit academic transcripts for successful admission into various
courses. Although the content and the purpose of both Consolidated mark sheets and
Academic transcripts are almost identical, the difference lies in the comprehensiveness of
the information and authenticity of the documents.

What is a provisional transcript, and how to get it?

Students who are planning to apply for admission into higher education while in the last
year of school/college need to have specific documentation handy for the application
process. But the final transcript will be given by the institutions only after the completion of
the course. In such a case, students can request a provisional transcript from their current
institution and show it as proof of their academic achievements so far to the university in
which they are seeking admission.

FAQs:

1. Are the mark sheet and transcript the same?

No, neither in comprehensiveness nor for authentication purposes, they are not at all the
same. For higher education, it’s important to have mark academic transcripts handy for the
smooth admission process, and mark sheets may not work in such cases.

2. What is the difference between an academic transcript and a degree certificate?

An academic transcript consists of comprehensive information about the classes the


student attended, exams he/she had given, and the grades obtained. A degree certificate
tells in which particular program a student specializes.

3. Can I get the transcript before graduation?

No, you can’t obtain your academic transcript before graduation. If, in a particular case, like
admission into higher education, you can request the school/college to issue a provisional
transcript that might help you temporarily.

4. How do I get my transcripts from a closed college?

If your college is closed, consider contacting the university with which it’s affiliated and
raise your concern there. If you can’t find a solution there, try reaching out to the respective
government department that monitors the educational institutions in your state and
request a copy of your academic transcript there.

5. What to do if I lose my academic transcript?

It’s highly advised to keep the academic transcript safe as it’s a tedious process to obtain a
duplicate in case you lose them. However, in case you lost them, contact the board of
education and request the higher authorities to issue a duplicate copy of your transcript.
