What the Provisional Certificate is and what happens if it has errors

Students generally use this Provisional Certificate before they receive the original certificate. It plays an important role in admission to higher education, job applications, proving educational qualifications to institutions and other academic activities.

However, errors are often found on a National University Provisional Certificate, such as in the student's own name, the parents' names or other details. If these are not corrected in time, complications may arise later, including in collecting the original certificate and in other academic and professional work. So if you find an error on your Provisional Certificate, start the correction without delay.

Which documents must be corrected before the Provisional Certificate?

To correct a National University Provisional Certificate or Marksheet, the Registration Card must be corrected first and the Admit Card after that.

The Registration Card is the main basis of a student's academic information, and the information in later academic documents must be consistent with it.

So if any information on the Provisional Certificate or Marksheet is wrong, follow this order:

  1. Correct the Registration Card

    First correct the wrong information on the Registration Card.

  2. Correct the Admit Card

    Once the Registration Card correction is complete, correct the wrong information on the Admit Card.

  3. Correct the Provisional Certificate and Marksheet

    Once the Registration Card and Admit Card corrections are complete, you can apply to correct the Provisional Certificate and Marksheet.

Remember: Applying directly to correct the Provisional Certificate or Marksheet without following this order may cause complications. So correct the Registration Card first, then the Admit Card, and the certificate and marksheet last.

Documents required to correct a Provisional Certificate

Certain documents are needed to correct a name or other information on a National University Provisional Certificate. The documents needed may vary depending on the type of correction.

The documents generally required are:

  • Photocopy of the National University Provisional Certificate.
  • Photocopy of the student's corrected Registration Card.
  • Photocopy of the student's corrected Admit Card.
  • The student's corrected SSC certificate.
  • The student's corrected HSC certificate.
  • The correction letter issued by the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board.
  • A copy of the birth registration certificate (if available).
  • A copy of the National ID card.
  • The ID card of the relevant guardian, if the correction concerns a parent's name.
  • The correction application on the prescribed form.
Special note: The documents required may differ slightly depending on the type of correction. So prepare your documents according to the instructions set by National University before applying.

Application fee and payment

The application fee for National University Provisional Certificate correction is Tk 707.

The Tk 707 is paid by bank draft. The fee can also be paid through an approved payment system, using mobile banking (bKash, Nagad, etc.) or a debit/credit card.

After paying, be sure to keep the payment receipt or proof of transaction.

How long does it take to correct a Provisional Certificate?

How long a Provisional Certificate correction takes depends mainly on the type of correction and the administrative process of the relevant office.

A minor spelling mistake in a name, or a simple typographical error, can generally take 7–15 working days to correct.

On the other hand, complex corrections such as a major change to a name, or adding or deleting part of a name, may need closer scrutiny by the relevant authority, so they can take comparatively longer.

So if you find an error on your Provisional Certificate, prepare the required documents and apply without delay.
