Diploma Certificate Apostille in Assam: Polytechnic, Nursing and ITI
Every diploma certificate apostille in Assam for a polytechnic course starts with a document from the State Council for Technical Education, Assam (SCTE), which sits within the Directorate of Technical Education in Guwahati. That diploma is verified first, and the MEA apostille comes last. INFINITYGRO Attestation in Delhi manages each step for diploma holders who plan to work or study abroad.

Who verifies an Assam polytechnic diploma for apostille? A diploma certificate apostille in Assam needs the diploma verified first. The MEA list names the Director of Technical Education, Guwahati, as an authority for the state route. The Delhi route of notary, SDM and MEA is also accepted for most diplomas. After either path, the MEA places the apostille, which costs Rs 50 per document.
How SCTE Assam fits into the process
SCTE Assam conducts the diploma level examinations for the state's polytechnics, such as those in Guwahati, Silchar, Dibrugarh and other districts. Its Controller of Examinations handles mark sheets and the final diploma.
The Directorate's citizen charter says students apply for the original diploma certificate through the principal of their polytechnic, with copies of the overall mark sheets. The same office issues duplicate mark sheets and corrects names. A duplicate needs a police report if the original was lost and a newspaper notice.
Keep the final diploma ready before you plan an apostille. A semester mark sheet alone does not prove that the course was completed.

Steps for a diploma certificate apostille in Assam
- Collect the original final diploma from SCTE through your polytechnic.
- Choose the route. The state route goes to the Director of Technical Education, Guwahati. The Delhi route goes through a notary and the SDM in Delhi.
- The verified diploma goes to the MEA through an authorised centre. Individuals cannot submit at the MEA counter.
- The MEA adds the apostille, and the diploma comes back to you by tracked courier.
Each mark sheet you want apostilled counts as a separate document with its own MEA fee.
Papers that usually travel with an Assam diploma
An employer or college abroad rarely asks for the diploma alone. Many want the semester mark sheets too, so they can see the subjects you studied. Some ask for a course completion letter or a migration certificate from the polytechnic.
Plan the set of documents before you courier anything. It saves a second round of couriers and a second fee. Each paper that carries an apostille is counted on its own, so a diploma with six mark sheets means seven apostilles.
If you also hold a degree from an Assam university, such as a lateral entry B.Tech, that degree goes through its own verification. You can send both in the same parcel and we will handle them together.
Nursing diplomas and ITI certificates from Assam
GNM and ANM nursing diplomas are recognised through the state nursing council, so the council's registration and certificate are checked before the apostille. Many nurses heading to the UK or the Gulf need the diploma and the registration certificate. Ask your employer which documents they want.
ITI certificates are issued under NCVT (national) or SCVT (state). An NCVT certificate is checked through the national trade certificate system. An SCVT certificate is checked through the state's training directorate. Either way, the issuing body's signature is what gets verified.
From Guwahati and Dispur to our Delhi office
The Directorate of Technical Education is in Guwahati, close to Dispur. If your file needs the state route, we arrange its submission there and keep you updated on WhatsApp.
For the Delhi route, courier the diploma from Guwahati or Dispur to C-5 A/2 New Ashok Nagar, Delhi 110096. Clients already in Delhi NCR can drop it off. We send everything back by Blue Dart or a similar tracked service. There is no home pickup.
Check these points before couriering your diploma
- The diploma is the original, not a photocopy.
- It is not laminated. The MEA stamps the back.
- Your name matches your passport. If not, an affidavit is needed.
- You have a passport copy for the file.
- You know whether the receiving country takes an apostille.
If any line on the diploma is in Assamese, a certified translation may be asked for. We arrange translation services too.
Gulf jobs and other non-apostille countries
Many diploma holders from Assam look for technical jobs in the Gulf. The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are not Hague members, so they need MEA attestation and embassy legalization. Egypt is the same. The apostille route is also closed for China and Germany.
Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain accept the apostille, as do the UK, USA, Canada and Australia. See the embassy attestation service for the other path.
What the Delhi route costs
Our charge for the Delhi route is Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per document. It includes the notary, SDM, the Rs 50 MEA fee and our service. Courier costs are extra. Once we have the papers, the work usually takes 2 to 3 working days.
The state route through the Directorate in Guwahati follows the office's own schedule. We cannot promise a date for that step, but we share each update as soon as we receive it. If your joining date is close, tell us at the start so we can suggest the quicker path.

Assam diploma certificate apostille FAQs
I lost my SCTE Assam diploma. What now?
Apply to SCTE for a duplicate through your polytechnic principal. You will need a police report and a newspaper notice, after which the duplicate can be apostilled.
Can I apostille only my final semester mark sheet?
You can, but most employers abroad want the final diploma. Each document you apostille is charged separately.
Is a provisional diploma enough for an apostille?
A provisional certificate can be verified, but some receiving offices accept only the final diploma. Ask them before you send it.
Does SCTE Assam need to give consent for the Delhi route?
No. The Delhi route verifies the attested original through the SDM, and the MEA then completes the diploma certificate apostille in Assam cases as well as other states.
Can I do the state route on my own?
You can approach the Directorate of Technical Education, Guwahati, yourself for state verification. The MEA step still has to go through an authorised centre, since individuals cannot hand documents in at the MEA counter.
