Migration Certificate for Mumbai University

Migration Certificate is required when you take up a course in a different University from the one you last studied.


The following steps outline the procedure for obtaining a migration certificate from Mumbai University. The procedure would mostly be different for other universities.

1. Download the migration certificate form from Mumbai University site. See if this link still works: http://www.mu.ac.in/migrationform.pdf. Else search on their site.
2. If you have not done a profession degree, your lucky, your last college will probably do everyhting for you. You just need to fill this form and submit it alongwith photocopies of 10th marksheet, 12th marksheet and Final year degree marksheet. That's it just relax.
3. For others, the procedure continues. The institution that you last studied must have given you a Transfer Certificate (aka Leaving Certificate). Goto your last institution and submit an application asking for a duplicate copy of transfer certificate. This is required because the University takes the original one and seldom returns it back.
4. So now pack the Migration form duly filled, stamped, signed, TC, photocopies of 10th, 12th, Final Year marksheet and head to Mumbai University, Kalikna.
5. Go straight to the backyard of Ambedkar Bhavan.
6. Pay Rs. 220 and submit the documents. Get the receipt and hope you get it in 1 week.
7. After 1 week, go back again and check if it's ready. Remember to go early since even though the line is small the productivity is only about 3 certificates per hour.
8. University is open on Saturday for the whole day except 2nd and 4th ones.

The above is the ideal scenario. If things go weird:


1. One guy paid a bribe at the time of form submission of about 150 bucks. He got it in an hour.
2. I didn't get the certificate even after visiting twice and 1.5 month had passed. Suprisingly, it came by post a few days later.
3. Another girl, hadn't got it and was waiting for 4 months. Eventually she went inside the building to "talk" to the officials inside.
