Transcripts for all semesters and your diploma.
Mark sheets from a college are not accepted, unless the college is autonomous (an Indian college that sets its own exams).
Papers signed online through DigiLocker (India's government app for digital papers) are not accepted.

Pakistan: master's

A 4-year bachelor's with at least 124 credits in your Pakistani degree, or a bachelor's plus a master's.
All transcripts and diplomas attested by the HEC.
The HEC stamp digits must be easy to read on your scan.

Each paper attested by the IBCC.
Finished school after 2009? You need a pass in Mathematics.

Name and Birthdate

Your name and birthdate must be the same on every paper and in your account. A sworn statement (an affidavit) does not fix a name or birthdate that is different.

Programme Papers

Extra papers some programmes ask for.

Only if asked

Some programmes ask for a CV, motivation letter or references.
Check the programme page on the university's site.
Do not send papers they did not ask for. They are not read and they make your application slower.

Checks and Translations

How your papers are checked.

Papers Are Checked

University Admissions checks your papers with the school that issued them. It can cancel your admission if a paper is false.

Translations

Papers from India and Pakistan are normally in English, so no translation is needed.
India: if your school certificate is not fully in English, you need an official translation.
