Himalayan Garhwal University Degree Certificate & Transcript for WES: Steps (2026)

Quick answer: Himalayan Garhwal University is now called Maharaja Agrasen Himalayan Garhwal University. This is a university from HNB Garhwal University, in Srinagar at Pauri Garhwal district, Uttarakhand. For WES, you usually need the degree certificate and a transcript sent from the university. We can request both for you. So start with the enquiry form. 

In this guide:

• Which university it is, and which name to use
• Degree certificate vs transcript, and what WES wants
• The steps, and where requests slow down

Ask people about Himalayan Garhwal University, and you may end up with two different universities. The one in Pauri Garhwal had its name changed by an amendment to its Act. It is now Maharaja Agrasen Himalayan Garhwal University. Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University in Srinagar, Garhwal is a central university. Mix them up. Your request goes to the wrong place. This guide covers which name to use, what separates the degree certificate from the transcript, and the steps for WES. Worldwide Transcripts has delivered 175,000+ orders in 15+ years from 850+ universities. We checked the details recently in November. Universities change their process, so confirm before you apply. 

Which University Is It?

The university in Pauri Garhwal was originally named Himalayan Garhwal University and is now officially Maharaja Agrasen Himalayan Garhwal University, a private university with its main campus at Dhaid Gaon, Block Pokhra. It isn’t HNB Garhwal University, a central university in Srinagar, Garhwal.

Your degree carries the name in use when it was issued, so check which form is on yours and use that. The university’s Act says it can have constituent colleges, regional centres, and study centres but can’t affiliate other colleges. So whichever centre you studied at, the degree comes from the university itself. The Registrar is the officer who authenticates its records.

Degree Certificate vs Transcript

WES and similar evaluators ask for different documents, and people often send the wrong one.

• Degree certificate. Proof that the degree was awarded.
• Transcript. The university’s official record of your courses and grades, requested for a named recipient.
• Marksheets. Your results for each semester, pass and fail for both the semester and the year. You already hold these.
• Provisional certificate. Interim proof of your results until the degree is issued.

WES says documents from your institution must be sent directly to it from the institution, so a scan from you usually isn’t enough. See WES, credential evaluation questions answered. For the report itself, IRCC explains the ECA on Canada.ca, and our blogs cover it in plain terms.

What to Keep Ready

• All your marksheets, every semester or year, including pass and fail.
• Your degree certificate, or a provisional one if it isn’t issued
• Your enrolment number, programme, campus or centre, and year of passing
• A government ID or passport. Your name must match your academic records and government-issued ID card.
• Your WES reference number
• Name-change proof, if relevant

We’ll confirm the exact list for your case when you enquire.

How Long Does It Take?

We don’t put a fixed number of days on this page. It depends on which documents you need, the university’s handling, and how quickly WES matches the records to your file. Complete records with matching names go fastest. If your destination also wants an apostille or attestation, those steps add time. Ask our team about your case when you enquire, and follow progress on the app.

Apply Yourself or Go Through Worldwide Transcripts?

You can approach the university directly, and some people do. It helps to know what that usually involves.

Going direct. The first hurdle is working out which university you’re dealing with, since the name changed and a similar name belongs to a different one. After that, you may need to find the right office and form, follow it up yourself, and wait with little visibility. The records must then reach WES in the form it expects, and a missing marksheet or mismatched name can leave a request sitting. If your documents also need an apostille or embassy attestation, those are separate steps with separate offices.

Going through us. We handle the university side from start to finish. We submit the request, follow up, collect the documents, and send them to WES or your university. You send your details once, pay online, and follow progress on the app. We check your records and the university name before anything is submitted.

If that sounds easier, start your request or talk to our team.

Mistakes That Slow These Requests Down

The big one is sending the request to the wrong university, usually HNB Garhwal University in Srinagar, Pauri Garhwal district, Uttarakhand. Right behind it is using the old name on your application when your degree carries the new one, or the reverse.

People also request the transcript before they have a WES reference number, send only part of their marksheets, or choose the wrong document: a degree certificate when WES wants a transcript. Names that don’t match between your degree and passport cause trouble too. And if your destination wants an apostille, plan for it early. See apostille of documents and embassy attestation.

What We See at Worldwide Transcripts

With universities that have changed names, the common pattern is a record that’s correct but filed under a name the evaluator doesn’t recognise. We check which name your degree carries and which one the request should use. We work with 18+ affiliated ECA bodies, for example UMKC, CES and IQAS, and our job is to take the university side off your plate. See our affiliates.
