Visit the official website of Kuvempu University. Following that, take a DD and further send it to the respective University. Write a letter to the Registrar and the respective Finance Officer, with the inclusion of your registration number and the purpose for transcripts. You must also fill out the WES form to proceed forward.

After these steps, it is best to keep an update about whether or not the respective university has received the application or not. Within the time limit, the university is expected to send you the required documents to the address you have mentioned.

Here are some other major questions you can rather be worried about,

Cost per mark sheet (200/ per semester marks card)
The usual search charge
Courier charge (if you decided to send it directly to the WES)
To whom the Application form is to be written, for instance, it can be “Registrar, Kuvempu University, Shankaraghatta”.

This is everything that you should be aware of about getting transcripts from Kuvempu University.

How good is Kuvempu University for distance education?

Rita Sircar

04 Oct 21

Kuvempu University, unfortunately, has not yet established its name in the industrial side, as much as other universities have, even with similar courses. However, Kuvempu University has been widely recognized by UGC as well, but yet offers a very compact list of specialization courses.

The only specializations that Kuvempu university has been witnessed to offer are as followed,

Marketing Management
Financial Management
Human Resource Management

The course fee offered by the institute is extremely minimal, helping willing students, as the university is quite affordable, unlike other institutes offering the same range of courses. However, if you are only inclined towards pursuing a MBA degree, you can possibly opt for this university over many others.
