Degree Certificate Apostille Services Raipur: Two Statewide Universities in One Capital City
Degree certificate apostille services Raipur applicants need matter beyond this city, because the universities that award every medical and every agricultural degree in Chhattisgarh are both based here, and INFINITYGRO completes the Notary, SDM, Ministry of External Affairs and embassy stages for all of them.
A doctor trained in Bilaspur and an agricultural graduate from Jagdalpur both hold degrees naming Raipur. That makes this city the verification destination for a large share of files from across the State.
- Medical and agricultural degrees statewide name Raipur
- Courier from Raipur, Durg, Bhilai, Mahasamund or Dhamtari
- Built for healthcare, agriculture and management files
- Every stage of Degree Certificate Apostille Services Raipur tracked and confirmed on WhatsApp
What do degree certificate apostille services Raipur involve?
Degree certificate apostille services Raipur applicants use end with the Ministry of External Affairs applying a numbered sticker to the reverse of the original degree, which makes it valid in every country that has joined the Hague Apostille Convention with no further embassy stamp.
The Ministry certifies only what has already been vouched for. That prior step is either authentication by the Chhattisgarh authorities, or a Notary Public followed by a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi. Countries outside the convention, such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, require MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation instead.
In short, degree certificate apostille services raipur is completed entirely in Delhi, whichever of the two routes your file takes.
Which university issued your Raipur degree
Raipur holds the State's general university plus two statewide specialist ones, which is why certificates naming this city turn up all over Chhattisgarh.
Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University
The State's oldest university serves the Raipur region through its own departments and a wide network of affiliated colleges.
Most arts, science, commerce and law degrees from the central districts carry its seal.
Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay Memorial Health Sciences and Ayush University
The State health sciences university in Raipur awards the MBBS, BDS, nursing, pharmacy and Ayush degrees for the whole of Chhattisgarh.
So a Bilaspur or Jagdalpur medical graduate's degree names Raipur. See MBBS apostille and B.Sc Nursing apostille.
Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya
The State agricultural university at Krishak Nagar in Raipur awards agriculture, horticulture, forestry and agricultural engineering degrees across Chhattisgarh.
Its graduates move to Australia, Canada and New Zealand, where assessing bodies want transcripts apostilled alongside the degree.
NIT Raipur, IIM Raipur and AIIMS Raipur
The national institutes award degrees in their own name and draw students from across India.
Their alumni move mainly to the United States, Germany and Singapore, where an apostille alone is the requirement.
Engineering degrees from CSVTU, Bhilai
Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University at Bhilai awards the State's engineering degrees, so a Raipur engineering graduate's certificate names Bhilai.
See B.Tech degree apostille and our Chhattisgarh page.
Law, journalism and specialist universities
Hidayatullah National Law University at Naya Raipur and the journalism university in the city award their own degrees.
Keep the registrar's contact details with your file, since overseas evaluators write to specialist universities directly.
What we handle and what stays with you
Because applicants from across the State deal with Raipur for verification, it helps to separate that step from ours.
INFINITYGRO carries out every Delhi stage. We do not apply for university verification and we do not lodge files with the Chhattisgarh higher education department.
The two columns below divide degree certificate apostille services raipur between our desk and yours, so nothing is assumed.
Handled by INFINITYGRO
- Notary Public seal on your degree
- SDM attestation in Delhi
- MEA apostille for Hague Convention countries
- MEA attestation plus embassy legalisation for the Gulf and other non-members
- Taking over from the MEA stage if your degree is already State-authenticated
Arranged by you, if asked for
- Verification of the degree by the awarding university
- University verification and State authentication, where the council or employer demands them
Once those are done, courier the degree to us and we resume from the MEA stage.
Two routes for degree certificate apostille services raipur
Both routes finish at an MEA apostille or an MEA attestation. The difference is who vouches for the degree before the Ministry sees it.
The State directorate is in the capital region too, which makes the long route easier here than from the districts.
State authentication route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Raipur
For sponsors and councils that require the Chhattisgarh Government's authentication first.
- Arranged by you
Authentication by the Chhattisgarh Department of Higher Education
The Department of Higher Education, Government of Chhattisgarh, works from Mahanadi Bhawan in the new capital area at Atal Nagar, a short distance from the city.
Open the Chhattisgarh Higher Education portal - Handled by INFINITYGRO
MEA apostille for Hague Convention countries
Courier the authenticated degree to our Delhi office. We submit it to the Ministry of External Affairs through the authorised channel and collect the apostilled original.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
Embassy legalisation for non-member countries
For the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and others outside the convention, we complete MEA attestation and then legalisation at the relevant embassy in New Delhi. Read our guide to degree certificate attestation for the UAE before you start.
Choose this for: Gulf employment, medical and nursing registration, and sponsors naming State authentication.
SDM route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Raipur, handled end to end by us
Nothing to arrange locally, and one accountable team throughout.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
Notary Public authorisation
We present your degree to a registered Notary Public in Delhi, who records the entry and applies seal and signature.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
SDM attestation in Delhi
The notarised degree goes to a Sub-Divisional Magistrate's office in Delhi, which confirms the notary's signature and adds the attestation the MEA looks for. Our step-by-step guide to attestation in Delhi NCR explains this stage in detail.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
MEA apostille or embassy legalisation
Degrees for Hague member states receive the MEA apostille sticker. Degrees for the Gulf and other non-member states receive MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation.
Choose this for: Study abroad, skilled migration, dependant visas and residence files.
Verification, authentication and the apostille
Three different things get confused on Chhattisgarh healthcare files. University verification is the awarding body confirming the degree. State authentication is a government step. The apostille is the Ministry's. A council may want one, two or all three.
- Identify which university actually awarded your degree: PRSU, the health university, IGKV or CSVTU.
- Ask the council or employer in writing whether they want verification, State authentication, or only the apostille.
- Complete whichever of those they name before sending the degree to us.
- Send us the degree for the MEA apostille and any embassy stage.
Designations and counters change over time. Confirm the present procedure before you hand over originals. Our reference list of Department of Higher Education authentication addresses and our step-by-step HRD attestation guide are updated separately.

Area-wise notes around Raipur
The process is the same across the central districts. What differs is the awarding university and the sector people work in.
Raipur city
Shankar Nagar, Pandri, Telibandha and Kota hold PRSU, the health university, NIT Raipur and the medical colleges.
A broad mix of files begins here: healthcare, management, law and agriculture.
Naya Raipur and Atal Nagar
The new capital area holds the State secretariat, the law university and a growing technology and education campus belt.
Government service families form a steady share of files, usually for children studying abroad.
Urla, Siltara and the industrial belt
The steel, sponge iron and rice processing units around the city employ a large technical workforce.
Engineers and plant staff from here take Gulf and South East Asian contracts, which need attestation and an embassy stamp.
Mahasamund, Dhamtari and the rice belt
The agricultural districts around the capital send IGKV graduates abroad for skilled migration and research posts.
Those files almost always need full transcripts apostilled alongside the degree.
Everywhere in Chhattisgarh
We accept documents by courier from across the State and return them the same way. Other documents follow the same path: PCC apostille in Raipur, birth certificate apostille and marriage certificate apostille.
For the State page see Chhattisgarh, and for neighbouring States Madhya Pradesh and Odisha.
Countries that accept Degree Certificate Apostille Services Raipur
Raipur sends healthcare and agricultural graduates to the Gulf, Australia and Canada, and management and engineering alumni to the United States, Germany and Singapore.
Apostille is enough
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore accept the MEA apostille on its own, as do Saudi Arabia since December 2022, Oman and Bahrain.
Embassy legalisation is also needed
The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are outside the convention. Degrees for jobs there are attested by the MEA and then legalised by that country's embassy in New Delhi. See our notes on Qatar embassy attestation and Kuwait embassy attestation.
Membership of the convention changes from time to time. Check the official HCCH status table or ask us before you commit to a route.
Documents needed for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Raipur
Courier or bring these to start. Healthcare files often need university verification first.

- Transcripts and mark sheets, for licensing and assessment files

Before you post anything, it is worth reading the common mistakes people make during degree certificate apostille.

FAQs on degree certificate apostille services raipur
Short answers to the questions we are asked most often about degree certificate apostille services raipur.
My MBBS is from a Bilaspur college but the degree names Raipur. Why?
Because the State health sciences university is based in Raipur and awards the medical, dental, nursing and Ayush degrees for the whole of Chhattisgarh. A graduate of any medical college in the State therefore holds a degree naming Raipur, and verification requests come here rather than to your college.
What is the difference between university verification and the apostille?
They are separate steps. Verification is the awarding university confirming to a third party that it issued the degree, usually because an overseas council asked. The apostille is the Ministry certifying the document for international use. A council may want one, the other, or both, so work from their written list.
My engineering degree names Bhilai rather than Raipur. Is that correct?
Yes. Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University is based at Bhilai and awards the State's engineering degrees, so a Raipur engineering graduate's certificate names it. Verification requests go to Bhilai.
Is there an apostille counter in Raipur?
No. When the Ministry decentralised apostille work to sixteen cities in 2019, Chhattisgarh was not among them; the nearest centres are Bhopal and Kolkata. The Ministry has not accepted documents over the counter from members of the public anywhere in India since 2012 in any case.
I am an IGKV graduate applying for Australian skilled migration.
Australia is a convention member, so an apostille is the correct legalisation with no embassy stamp. The assessing body for your occupation sets its own list, which normally includes full transcripts alongside the degree. Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya here handles verification if it is requested.
I work in the Urla or Siltara industrial belt and have a Gulf contract.
For the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait the degree needs MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation, not an apostille, and plant sponsors frequently want State authentication first. Saudi Arabia joined the convention in December 2022, where an apostille is usually enough.
Does INFINITYGRO do HRD attestation or university verification?
No. We provide Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Where a council requires verification from the health university or IGKV, or State authentication, you arrange that directly, and we continue from the MEA stage.
What do degree certificate apostille services Raipur cost?
An NIT Raipur graduate sending one degree to Germany pays differently from a nurse sending four documents for a Gulf registration with embassy legalisation. The figure depends on the route, the number of documents, the destination and the courier. Our fees page sets out the structure, and a WhatsApp message brings a quote for your own file.
