How to Apply for a Tribhuvan University Transcript Online
A current guide to Tribhuvan University’s student-portal transcript route: create or recover the account, upload the registration card and every marksheet as PDFs, enter every exam attempt, correct the summary before paying through ConnectIPS, print the paid form, and submit it to the Office of the Controller of Examinations.
Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
Use the official TU Student Portal at student.exam.tu.edu.np. Sign up with the registration details the portal requests, use the emailed temporary credentials, and change the password on first login. Open Transcript and Provisional Application, select the faculty, level and program, add the details of every exam attempted, and review the summary before payment. TU’s current notice says transcript or provisional applicants must upload all marksheets and the registration card in PDF format. The official manual then requires bank selection, online payment through ConnectIPS, printing the successful application, and submitting that printout to the Office of the Controller of Examinations at Balkhu. The online step is not a fully paperless issuance process.
Eligibility
- A Tribhuvan University student or graduate whose results needed for the requested transcript have been published
- An applicant with a TU registration record and the marksheets for every relevant annual or semester examination
- A student applying through the Office of the Controller of Examinations student portal for a transcript, or for a transcript-and-provisional workflow shown by that portal
- Applicants whose name, registration number, faculty, level, program and exam records agree across TU documents
- A student with a faculty or program handled through another exam office should confirm the responsible office before paying; this guide follows the current central OCoE student-portal instruction
Required documents checklist
- □ A clear PDF copy of the TU registration card; the current official online-services notice specifically requires it for transcript or provisional applications
- □ Clear PDF copies of all marksheets for the academic record; the same notice says all marksheets must be uploaded
- □ The faculty, level and program exactly as recorded by TU
- □ Complete exam details for every examination attempted, not only the latest or passed examination; the official manual explicitly tells applicants to add every attempt
- □ A working email account that the applicant controls, because new-portal credentials and the temporary password are delivered by email
- □ The TU registration number and other identity or registration fields requested on the live Sign Up page
- □ A ConnectIPS-enabled payment route or another bank option currently displayed by the official portal
- □ The successful payment record and the printed application form; the manual says the printout must be submitted to the Office of the Controller of Examinations
- □ Photocopies of the marksheets and registration card for the office file; TU’s live FAQ lists these as the transcript documents
- □ Any written correction or campus recommendation required if a marksheet has a name or registration-number problem; resolve that problem before treating the transcript application as complete
Step-by-step process
- Start at exam.tu.edu.np and follow the Student Portal or official transcript-manual link. The current service notice identifies student.exam.tu.edu.np. Avoid similarly named fee-collection or result websites.
- Check the source documents before registering. Put the registration card and every marksheet in order, and compare the name, registration number, faculty, level, program, exam year or semester and result details.
- If you do not have portal credentials, choose Sign Up and complete the required fields and captcha. The official manual says the portal emails the username and temporary password.
- Sign in with the emailed credentials. On the first login, change the temporary password, return to the login page and sign in again with the new password.
- From the student dashboard, open Transcript and Provisional Application. Select the faculty, level and program that match the TU record.
- Enter one complete exam record at a time and choose Add Exam Details. Repeat this for every exam attempted, including a failed, partial or repeated attempt where it appears in the academic history; the manual warns not to leave attempts out.
- Upload all marksheets and the registration card in PDF format as required by TU’s current online-services notice. Use readable files and check that no page is cut off, rotated or assigned to the wrong field.
- Review the summary table before payment. If an entry is wrong, use Edit, enter the corrected detail and Update it; the manual provides this correction step before the payment section.
- In Bank Details, select the bank shown for the transaction and submit the application section before starting payment. Then choose Pay Fee, confirm the request and complete the ConnectIPS window described in the official manual.
- Confirm that the payment returned successfully to the TU application. Save the transaction evidence, print the completed application form, and do not rely on a screenshot of the payment alone.
- Submit the printed application to the Office of the Controller of Examinations, Tribhuvan University, Balkhu, with the registration-card and marksheet copies currently listed by the FAQ. Follow any counter or acknowledgement instruction shown on the form.
- Keep the application, payment receipt and office acknowledgement until collection. When the transcript is issued, check the name, registration number, program, subjects, marks or grades, division or GPA and completion details before using it for study, employment or verification.
Fees and timelines
- TU’s live FAQ reviewed on 27 August 2026 lists PCL transcript fees of NPR 350 for the annual system and NPR 450 for the semester system.
- The same FAQ lists bachelor’s and PGD transcript fees of NPR 450 for the annual system and NPR 550 for the semester system.
- It lists master’s transcript fees of NPR 550 for the annual system and NPR 750 for the semester system, and NPR 750 for M.Phil.
- Pay the amount generated for the selected program in the official student portal. Do not transfer money to a personal account or assume a provisional, migration, original certificate, sealed copy or verification service is included in the transcript fee.
- The official manual describes ConnectIPS payment after bank selection. Save both the payment evidence and the final application printout.
- Neither the current transcript manual nor the live FAQ gives one guaranteed transcript-issue time. Record checks, missing exam attempts, mismatched registration details and the office’s workload can extend the process.
- Travel, courier, duplicate-copy, correction, verification and other academic-certificate services are separate unless TU’s current form explicitly combines them.
Common mistakes
- Using an unofficial result or payment site instead of following the Student Portal link from exam.tu.edu.np.
- Uploading only the final marksheet. TU’s current notice says all marksheets and the registration card must be uploaded in PDF format.
- Entering only passed exams. The manual tells applicants to add every exam attempted.
- Selecting the wrong faculty, level or program because an informal abbreviation was used instead of the TU record.
- Paying before reviewing the summary table even though the manual provides an Edit and Update step for incorrect exam details.
- Assuming online payment completes the application. The current manual says to print the application after payment and submit it to the Office of the Controller of Examinations.
- Treating a transcript, provisional certificate, migration certificate, original degree and certificate verification as the same service.
- Ignoring a name or registration-number mismatch in the marksheets. TU’s FAQ identifies a separate correction evidence route; a transcript application should not be used to conceal the mismatch.
- Sharing the emailed temporary password, portal password or ConnectIPS credentials with an agent.
Current TU transcript fee table
| Level | Annual system | Semester system |
|---|---|---|
| PCL | NPR 350 | NPR 450 |
| Bachelor’s | NPR 450 | NPR 550 |
| PGD | NPR 450 | NPR 550 |
| Master’s | NPR 550 | NPR 750 |
| M.Phil | NPR 750 | NPR 750 shown as one level fee |
The application has two required stages
| Stage | What you complete | Evidence to keep |
|---|---|---|
| Student Portal | Account setup, PDF uploads, faculty/level/program, every exam attempt, correction and payment | Submitted summary, payment result, transaction reference and printable form |
| Office of the Controller of Examinations | Submit the printed paid application and the supporting copies required by the office | Counter acknowledgement, receipt or collection instruction |
| After issue | Check the transcript against the underlying academic record | A scan of the correct transcript and any written correction request |
Independent guide; verify the live portal
NepalDocsGuide is an independent information website and is not Tribhuvan University or the Office of the Controller of Examinations. TU introduced and updated this student-portal workflow in 2026. The portal was intermittently slow during the 27 August check, so use the current link published by exam.tu.edu.np and follow any newer OCoE notice before uploading or paying.
