A student is seeking clarification regarding discrepancies between their IGNOU marksheet and degree issue dates. The marksheet indicates passing in June 2021, but the issue dates are August 2021 (degree) and October 2021 (marksheet). The student is concerned about potential issues during document verification, especially in relation to UGC guidelines which suggest degrees are issued within 180 days of the marksheet. Advice suggests the examination date is key, and eligibility for a degree is established upon result declaration, making a provisional certificate valid until the original is issued.
