Complete NRIWAY Guide: Documents Needed for Medium of Instruction Certificate Applications

A Medium of Instruction (MOI) Certificate is a crucial document required by foreign universities, immigration authorities, credential evaluation bodies, and international employers. It confirms that your academic program was taught in English (or another language), making it essential for admissions, language-waiver requests, PR applications, and more.

To ensure a smooth and successful application, it is important to submit the correct documents in the proper format. This guide explains all the documents you need for an MOI certificate, along with how NRIWAY helps you at every step to avoid delays and errors.


1. Core Documents Required for MOI Certificate Applications

Most Indian universities typically require the following documents:

1. Degree Certificate or Provisional Certificate

This proves that you completed the course for which you need the MOI.

2. Mark Sheets (All Semesters or Final Year)

Universities use these for verification of academic details and course completion.

3. Valid ID Proof

A government-issued ID is required to match your identity with university records:

  • Passport (preferred for NRIs)

  • Aadhaar card

  • Voter ID

4. University Registration Number or Roll Number

Used to locate your academic file in university archives.

5. Course and Year Details

Universities often require:

  • Course name

  • Department

  • College affiliated

  • Year of admission and year of passing

6. MOI Application Form (If Applicable)

Some universities like Mumbai University, Bangalore University, and Anna University have a prescribed format.
Others accept a formal request letter, which NRIWAY prepares for you.


2. Additional Documents Sometimes Required

Depending on your university, you may also need:

1. Authorization Letter

If a representative is submitting the application on your behalf (NRIWAY handles this for you).

2. Passport-Size Photograph

Required by certain colleges and older systems.

3. Old University Hall Ticket / Admit Card

Used for older records or archived files.

4. Affidavit (In Special Cases)

Needed only when academic records have discrepancies, such as:

  • Name mismatch

  • Missing documents

  • Incorrect details

NRIWAY helps prepare affidavits professionally when required.


3. What If You Don’t Have All Documents?

Many NRIs do not have complete records—especially older alumni.
Common issues include:

  • Missing mark sheets

  • Lost degree certificates

  • Unclear academic data

  • College closed or relocated

  • Records moved to archive sections

NRIWAY specializes in such cases.
Their team helps:

  • Retrieve missing alternatives

This ensures your MOI application is not rejected or delayed.
