What can I do if my Indian university refuses to respond to an APS degree verification request?
Escalate directly to your registrar and controller of examinations, attach your admission offer and uni-assist tracking page, and provide an authorized contact to visit in person. If your university is public, file an RTI request tracking the verification email, which legally forces a response.
Your university's silence on an APS verification request usually comes from bureaucratic backlog rather than genuine refusal, so your job is to escalate loudly and give them the easiest possible way to reply.
Escalation Steps in Order
| Step | Action | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Write to the registrar directly | Skips slow front desk queues |
| 2 | Attach your offer and tracking page | Shows real consequences of delay |
| 3 | File an RTI at a public university | Creates a legal accountability trail |
| 4 | Offer easy reply options | Removes any excuse not to respond |
Ways to Make Replying Easy
- Give them an official professor or department email address APS can reply to directly.
- Point them toward DigiLocker or NAD records already linked to your university.
- Authorize a friend or relative nearby to physically follow up at the examination office.
- Keep APS India informed with screenshots showing your active follow up efforts.
My Advice
Write to your registrar and controller of examinations today, cc a professor you know personally, and attach your admission offer plus your uni-assist tracking screenshot so the urgency is unmistakable. If two weeks pass with no reply and your university is public, file an RTI immediately rather than waiting longer.
