Diploma certificate apostille Maharashtra: how it works

Why Maharashtra diplomas need apostille or attestation
Maharashtra trains more diploma engineers than almost any other State, and its graduates are hired for plant, maintenance and site roles in the Gulf, for Ausbildung and skilled-worker routes in Germany, and by cruise lines and international hotel groups that recruit heavily in Mumbai and Pune.
An overseas employer cannot verify an MSBTE certificate on its own. It relies on the stamp of the Ministry of External Affairs: the MEA apostille for Hague countries such as Germany, or MEA attestation with embassy legalisation for the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait.
