Diploma Certificate Apostille in Chandigarh: PSBTE&IT Diplomas and Trade Certificates
Chandigarh has no separate technical board of its own, so a diploma certificate apostille in Chandigarh usually involves a certificate from the Punjab State Board of Technical Education and Industrial Training. The board's office is in Sector 36-A. The diploma wing of CCET in Sector 26 is one of the institutions affiliated to it.

Which board signs diplomas from Chandigarh polytechnics? Diplomas from the CCET diploma wing are awarded through the Punjab State Board of Technical Education and Industrial Training. For a diploma certificate apostille in Chandigarh, the original board diploma is notarised, signed by an SDM in Delhi and then apostilled by the MEA. Mark sheets and trade certificates are separate documents and are charged separately.
The board behind Chandigarh diplomas
The diploma wing of Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology is affiliated to PSBTE&IT. Its final diplomas therefore carry the board's authority, not only the college's name.
If you studied at another polytechnic in the city, check the bottom of your certificate. The signing authority printed there decides who can issue a duplicate or confirm your record.
PSBTE&IT's office in Sector 36-A is within the city. If your diploma is damaged or laminated, applying for a duplicate there is the first step.
Older diplomas from the city may carry a different board name if they were issued before a restructuring. That is normal. We look at the seal and signature that appear on your original.

Diploma certificate apostille in Chandigarh: four stages
- Original in hand. You courier or bring the final diploma. A result printout is not enough.
- Notary and SDM. We get the document notarised and signed by an SDM in Delhi.
- MEA Apostille. We file through an MEA-authorised outsourced centre. The MEA fee is Rs 50 per document.
- Return. You get it back by Blue Dart or a similar tracked courier.
The Delhi route usually takes 2 to 3 working days from the day we receive your original.
If the board must first correct a spelling or issue a duplicate, that time is extra and depends on the board.
Courier time from Chandigarh is extra and depends on your courier.
Verification sits with the issuing board
The apostille confirms the signature of the last officer in India. It does not confirm your marks. If an overseas employer wants proof of the diploma itself, it asks the issuing board, which for most Chandigarh polytechnic diplomas is PSBTE&IT.
Some receivers ask for territory-level verification before the MEA. The MEA list names the Home Department officers of the Chandigarh Administration. We advise you when that route is needed.
Keep your enrolment number, roll number and year of passing ready. These details help the board trace the record if an employer writes to it.
Trade and nursing certificates
ITI trade certificates are issued under NCVT or SCVT schemes. Both can be apostilled from the original. Technicians heading to Saudi Arabia, Oman or Bahrain often need this.
Nurses trained in Chandigarh may hold a diploma plus a registration certificate from a state nursing council. Each is a separate apostille. For the UAE or Qatar, embassy attestation applies instead. See our UAE attestation fees.
Pharmacy diploma holders may also need a council registration certificate apostilled. Check with the employer first.
Help for diploma holders in Chandigarh
You do not need to travel to Delhi. Most clients in the city courier the originals to our New Ashok Nagar office and share the tracking number on WhatsApp.
Clients in Delhi for other work can drop off in person. We do not offer home pickup. When the apostille is done, we send the documents back by tracked courier, or you can collect them.
Diploma holders who also hold a degree can have both done together. Each counts as a separate document.
Clients from nearby Mohali, Zirakpur or Panchkula who studied at a Chandigarh polytechnic follow the same process.
Diploma holders who later earned a degree
Many CCET diploma holders go on to a B.E. or B.Tech, often through lateral entry. If you apply abroad with both, the receiver may want each of them apostilled. The diploma and the degree have different signing authorities, so they are handled as separate files in the same order.
Some universities abroad want only the highest qualification. Others want every step from school onward. Ask the admissions office for its list. Sending all papers at once saves courier costs and avoids a second trip through the process.
Our Chandigarh degree page explains how Panjab University degrees are handled.
Before you send
- Final diploma from the board, original
- Semester mark sheets, if the receiver asks
- Passport copy
- Name affidavit if your diploma spelling differs from your passport
- Nothing laminated or taped
If you have Hindi or Punjabi text that needs English, we arrange certified translation.
Work permits in Europe often need the diploma plus a police clearance certificate. Plan both together if your employer has asked for them.
Where the apostille works
The UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and most European countries accept it. China and Germany do not accept India's apostille. The UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Egypt require attestation through our embassy attestation service.
The same board covers Punjab diplomas, explained on our Punjab diploma page. All states are listed on the diploma hub.
