How to Request MOI From University Registrar

A Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate is an official letter issued by a university confirming that your course was taught in English (or another specified language). It is often required for higher studies abroad, visa applications, or credential evaluation.

Universities such as Savitribai Phule Pune University and Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University issue MOI certificates through the Registrar or Examination Department.

Here is the complete step-by-step process.

Step 1: Confirm Eligibility

You can request MOI if:

  • You have completed your degree

  • Your course was conducted in English medium

  • Your university offers MOI issuance

Some universities issue MOI only after course completion.

Typically required:

  • All semester/year mark sheets

  • Degree certificate copy
