When to use this letter

A migration certificate is the old board's or university's consent for you to join another one. The new institute asks for it at admission or soon after. It is not needed when you stay with the same university. Ask the new institute whether it wants one before you apply.

Before you send it

Check the university's website first. Many universities now take this request online and this letter is only needed for offline cases.
Give both roll number and enrolment or registration number if you have them.
Ask your new institute for the last date to submit the migration certificate, and tell the old one if it is close.

What to attach

Copy of the final marksheet
Fee receipt
Identity proof

How to send or submit it

See the old university's or board's website first, as many take applications only online. For offline cases, submit the application at the college office or the university counter with the listed documents. Collect the original yourself or ask for it by post, and keep photocopies before you hand it to the new institute.

Mistakes that get it sent back

Dues pending, or the degree or provisional certificate not yet collected, where the university requires that first.
Enrolment or registration number missing.
Applied to the college when the university issues it, or the other way round.
A migration certificate was issued earlier and that is not mentioned. A duplicate follows a different process.
