If you have lost your original marks card or Degree certificate due to fire or any other means, you have to follow the below procedure to get the VTU duplicate marks card or degree certificate.
You can ask the typist to write a complaint letter for you, for which he will charge some amount, or you can write a letter on your own.
Note: VTU has removed the PayUMoney link from its website
Put all the documents(Complaint letter, Affidavit, application form) into an A4 Size envelope cover.
You can choose one of the below options to submit your documents.
Option 1: Submit at VTU Bangalore Regional center or any other VTU regional center nearest to you.
VTU Bangalore Regional Centre:
Visvesvaraya Technological University, Regional Center Bangalore,

To,
The Registrar(Evaluation)

You’ll receive your CDC in 15 to 20 working days.
Option 3: Visit VTU Belgaum before 12 PM along with your college ID, DL for photo identification, and submit personally, and receive your CDC on the same day in the evening.

If you plan to submit at VTU Belgaum then you don’t need to carry the xerox copy of marks, No need of anybody’s signature, No need of anybody’s attestation (Gazetted officer Attestation can be done in VTU), No need of the letter.
Option 4: Submit to your college.
I recommend to submit the documents at VTU Belgaum and receive your duplicate certificates by 4:30Pm same day, otherwise, you may have to wait forever.
Hello, I just visited VTU last week for my duplicate marks cards and degree certificate. It was quite straight forward process. I had my police ack and notarised affidavit. Go to the exam section in VTU and apply for the same at the counter. There is an application for DMC. Fill out each semester’s marks cards date.
There wwas one helpful official there who worked out the fees as the instructiosn are quite misleading.
The fees is realy hefty if you passed out a while back. I had to pay Rs.7950 for all marks cards and certificate (passed in 2005). Be prepared with the money and draw a DD from the SBM opposite the VTU building. Submitted the documents by 11:30 AM. I recieved all my marks cards and certificate on the same day at 5 PM. All in all, a pain free process at Belgaum except for the money you shell out. Thanks again Suresh, your write up on visiting Belgaum was very helpful. Like Like
Thank you so much for the very clear steps mentioned to follow to apply for the duplicate mark cards. Its very easy to get duplicate marks card if police complaint and affidavit is present with you. Please make DD at VTU campus only. Bcoz fees/fine may vary for different type of work. Also have some sufficient cash in pocket since there might be chance of ATM failure inside vtu campus. So you may need to go back to city which is approx5 to 6km for ATM. Like Like

Hi Mathew, For duplicate marks cards and degree certificate you have to go VTU Belgaum with the required documents(police FIR, affidavit and copy of your marksheets if you have them). I have provide an account of my visit to VTU above. The fees for each marks card depends on the year you passed a particular sem.
eg. if 2nd sem in 2002; then (fees for each marks cards)*10
3rd sem in 2002 ; then (fees for each marks cards)*10
4th sem in 2003; then (fees for each marks cards)*9 and so on. Regards,

Hi Sush, I am not sure what you would need. I assume you may need application form and a signature on the affidavit and police complaint letter. This is what VTU says in its website… There is provision of issue of duplicate marks cards in cases where the marks cards are lost or mutilated.
For applying for Duplicate Marks card, an affidavit on Rs.20 stamp paper giving details, such as, USN, Month & Year of passing, Course, Branch, college and how the original marks cards were lost along with a fee of Rs.150/- plus Rs. 50/- per year thereafter payable in the form of a DD drawn in favour of the Finance Officer, VTU Belgaum.
The candidate has to lodge a complaint to local police station of the area where it was lost and submit the original copy of acknowledgement of complaint along with the above affidavit.
The candidates who are in need of the same shall forward their applications along with the relevant documents through the office of the Principal, to the office of the Registrar (Evaluation). http://vtu.ac.in/examination-guidelines/ Like Like

If you go there, ensure you have copies of the lost certificates.

Gururaj says:Hi Suresh, Thank you so much for the very clear steps mentioned to follow to apply for the duplicate mark cards. I followed the same steps & got my duplicate mark cards but with a bitter experience at VTU, Belgaum. I certainly don’t want to discourage others who want to apply for their duplicate mark cards but to caution them while dealing with the bossy natured faculty at VTU. I am a Software Professional in the industry for last 10 years & currently in abroad since last 6 years. I came to India recently just to get my duplicate mark sheets as I lost my originals. I got the affidavit done, FIR lodged & DD taken (Rs 9700 for 8 sems mark sheets, degree certificate, 2 transcripts), filled the application forms & submitted to one of the clerks at VTU (2nd floor, exam section). The clerk was very helpful in guiding me through & I submitted all of the required documents & DDs at around 12pm & I was asked to come at 4pm to collect the mark sheets on same day Monday (30/11/2015). Since I had to attend a family function that day I requested him to hold my mark sheets till Wednesday (02/12/2015). The clerk agreed to it & I left. I came back on wednesday & asked for my mark sheets to one of the other clerks there as the clerk who served me earlier was on leave. Clerk asked me for the day when I submitted my documents to which I answered Monday (30/11). He took no time or bothered to check & bluntly informed me that the mark sheets have been sent to the college through post. I politely told him that I had requested to hold on to my mark sheets & will be back today to collect the same. PLEASE NOTICE that if someone counters any clerks here they have a habit of taking the people to their bosses sitting in the adjacent cabins. I have noticed 2 such instances on Monday when I was here to submit the request. This clerk did the same & took me to a GENTLEMAN called Dr. Ravindra Malagi. I was asked to explain what’s the matter. I politely explained him the situation addressing him as SIR. He started with the same blunt answer saying the VTU policy is to send the mark sheets to the colleges if not collected by the candidate on the same day of request. I politely asked of why the clerk accepted my request to keep the mark sheets with him. I’ll be trouble as I have to catch my flight next day. This didn’t go well with Dr. Malagi as they don’t like the students/ex-students asking them the questions. Dr. Malagi literally says “OK, you keep shouting… I can’t help”. I still kept my cool & said that “Sir, you cannot use such words(shout) as I am politely & respectfully explaining you the situation”. When he continued with the same tone, that is when I had to say that “Mr, you are shouting as well… Please give respect as I am an alumni of this university & in a very good post as you are in.” I also said that “I have seen this bossy nature from the Day 1 here as the freshers or just passed out students cannot even question you. Do you think it’s a Government office?”. Dr. Malagi asked me to get out & my only answer was I didn’t come inside on my own. It was your clerk who took me inside your cabin instead of clarifying it himself. After all this drama, clerk asked me to wait outside for 10 minutes & he will check if the mark sheets are still there with them. He calls me back in 3 minutes (only task done so quick) & gives me my duplicate marksheets. With all humility I asked clerk that “should you have done this before, this drama wouldn’t have happened”. Dr. Malagi in an embarassed tone asks the clerk to “give him the marksheets & don’t talk anything”. I paid hefty amount to get my mark sheets & on top of it I had to face this humiliation. Only suggestion to the people working especially in educational institutions must understand that Human relation is the most important & he basic thing they need to learn as these are the institutions which builds the future architects of the world.
