Degree Certificate Apostille in Haryana: KUK, MDU and Other University Degrees
Graduates of Kurukshetra University, Maharshi Dayanand University Rohtak and the newer technical universities often need a degree certificate apostille in Haryana before a job or study move abroad. Most of them come to us in Delhi because the Delhi route is accepted for degrees from any state. When a foreign body insists on Haryana's own verification, we use the Higher Education Department instead.

Degree certificate apostille sample
Can a Haryana university degree be apostilled in Delhi? Yes. A degree certificate apostille in Haryana is usually done through the Delhi route: notary, SDM signature in Delhi, then the MEA Apostille. It takes about 2 to 3 working days and costs Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per document all-inclusive, plus courier. The state route through the Higher Education Commissioner is used only when a receiver asks for it.
Universities whose degrees we see from Haryana
Haryana's older universities, Kurukshetra University and MDU Rohtak, have affiliated colleges in almost every district. Their degrees make up most of our Haryana files.
- Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar
- Chaudhary Devi Lal University, Sirsa
- Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology, Murthal
- J.C. Bose University of Science and Technology, YMCA, Faridabad
- Indira Gandhi University, Meerpur, Rewari
- Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar
- Central University of Haryana, Mahendergarh
Private universities around Gurugram and Sonipat also issue degrees. Their signatures are handled the same way on the Delhi route.
A college name on the degree does not change anything. What matters is the university that signed it. A B.Com from a college in Karnal affiliated to KUK is a KUK degree for apostille purposes.

Choosing a route for degree certificate apostille in Haryana
Delhi route. The degree is notarised, then signed by an SDM in Delhi, then apostilled by the MEA. This works for most foreign universities and employers. It is also the quickest choice for clients in Gurugram and Faridabad.
Haryana state route. The MEA list names the Higher Education Commissioner or Director as Haryana's authority for college and university documents. A few licensing bodies ask for this stamp. It takes longer because the department checks with the university.
e-Sanad. If your university is connected, verification and the apostille happen online. A passport copy is needed. We check whether your university is listed before choosing.
Detailed marks cards and provisional degrees
KUK and MDU issue separate detailed marks cards for each semester or year. A university abroad that wants every year's marks needs each card apostilled separately. That raises the document count, so we count it with you in advance.
A provisional degree certificate is issued before convocation. It is not the final degree. Some employers accept it for a short time. Universities abroad usually want the final degree, so ask before spending on the provisional.
What we look at before filing
- The degree is original and not laminated
- The registrar's or controller's signature and the university seal are readable
- Your name matches the passport, or a name affidavit is ready
- Any Hindi text is translated where the receiver needs English
Degrees printed in both Hindi and English usually need no translation. Hindi-only marks cards may need one, which we arrange through our translation desk.
Gurugram, Panchkula and Faridabad clients
Gurugram and Faridabad are part of Delhi NCR, so you can drop off at our New Ashok Nagar office and collect later. Many IT and finance professionals from Gurugram use this when moving to the UK, Canada or Australia.
Panchkula is home to the state's Higher Education office. Clients there who need the state route can still courier the originals to us and we manage the filing. Panchkula clients who only need the Delhi route usually courier as well, since it saves a trip.
We return documents by Blue Dart or a similar tracked courier. There is no home pickup.
Using a Haryana degree abroad
The apostille is valid in the 130 parties to the Hague Convention except where an objection applies. India joined on 14 July 2005. China and Germany do not accept India's apostille. Germany verifies Indian documents through its embassy.
The UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Egypt need MEA attestation and embassy legalization. Our embassy attestation service covers these. For a neighbouring state, see Punjab.
Students heading to Canada or Australia from Haryana often need a degree evaluation as well. Evaluation bodies usually ask for sealed transcripts sent by the university. That is a separate request to KUK or MDU, and it is not the same as an apostille. Do both early if your deadline is close. Ask the evaluator whether it also wants apostilled copies.
What the apostille proves
The MEA checks the signature of the last Indian officer on the paper. On the Delhi route that is the SDM. On the state route it is the Higher Education officer. It does not grade or re-check your degree.
If a foreign university doubts the degree itself, it contacts KUK, MDU or your issuing university directly. Keeping your enrolment and roll number handy helps when that happens. Since July 2012 the MEA has not accepted papers from individuals at its counter, so filing always goes through an authorised centre. More detail is on our degree apostille hub.
