How to Apply for GU Certificate?
If you have completed your studies at Gauhati University, you can submit your application for a certificate through the university’s official web portal. Students who have recently passed out should be aware that they may need to wait until the convocation ceremony has been completed. Prior to the convocation, the certificate application portal typically only accepts applications from students who wish to receive their certificate at the ceremony, which usually involves higher application fees.
Before you begin the online application process, it’s advisable to have the following documents prepared, as they will be required during your submission.
Step 1: Create Your Application Account
To begin the online application process for your Gauhati University certificate, you’ll first need to create a new account specifically for this purpose. Please note that this is a separate account from your academic one. To complete this initial step, ensure you have your registration certificate, scanned copies of a passport-size photograph and your signature, and a valid ID proof ready. During registration, you will be asked to provide basic details, including your contact information, and upload the scanned documents. Make sure each uploaded document is 100KB or less in size.
Step 2: Log In and Start Your Application
After successfully registering, you will receive a Registration ID beginning with “GRD”. Make sure to carefully note down this ID, as you will need it for future access to the application portal. Remember, this newly generated ID is distinct from your original Gauhati University Registration Number and is solely for the document application process.
To continue, visit the same online application form link again. This time, you will log in using your newly generated Registration ID and your date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format, which serves as your default password.
Step 3: Fill in Document Details
Once logged in, you will see a dashboard. On the left-hand side menu, find and click on the option labeled “New Request Document.” This is where the actual application process begins. First, you will need to provide specific details about the document you are applying for. This includes selecting the certificate type, your course details, year of passing, your Gauhati University Roll Number, and the name of your college.
Step 4: Upload Required Documents
After providing the document details, a document upload section will appear. Here, you must upload all mandatory documents indicated with a star. Students will likely need to upload scanned copies of all their mark sheets, registration certificates, and admit cards, among other potential required documents.
Step 5: Make the Fee Payment
Following the document upload, you will be directed to the application fee payment page. You will need to pay the applicable application fee using one of the available online payment gateways. Once the payment is successfully processed, your application for the certificate will be submitted, and an acknowledgment will be generated.

Final Step: Submit Original Documents
After successfully completing all the steps of the online application process without any errors, the next crucial step is to physically visit the Administrative Building of Gauhati University. At the Administrative Building, you will need to submit your application along with the original copies of all the documents you uploaded online, such as your Registration Certificate and Mark sheets.
Gauhati University will process your request after receiving your original documents. You will be notified by the university when your certificate is ready for collection. This processing time is typically between 20 to 30 days.
Regarding the final step of physically submitting original documents at the Administrative Building, please take this with a grain of salt. Due to the ongoing digitization of processes, this step may no longer be required. However, as official confirmation is not readily available, we have included it for completeness based on previous procedures. We strongly advise students to visit the university or contact the relevant department to confirm if physical submission is still necessary after completing the online application. If you do not receive any intimation within 30 days of submitting your online application, it would be prudent to visit the university for confirmation.
