Transcripts are accepted and it was in a sealed envelope

I had sent
"degreee certificate copy" + "sealed transcript envelope" in a bigger envelope
Transcripts are accepted and it was in a sealed envelope

I had sent
"degreee certificate copy" + "sealed transcript envelope" in a bigger envelope
It says the transcripts are illegible, maybe it's not clear copy. Better to ask your institute to send another copy

Here are my further updates, and this time, I have kind of given up following with either of the parties WES vs IIM.

On Hold (2 year PGDM degree + transcripts from IIM): 13-Aug-2018 (It's week-end on 11th and 12th)
Campus responds to 2nd VDR email: 14-Aug-2018 Morning (India Time)
We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s): 15-Aug-2018

On Hold (PGDM degree + transcripts from IIM): 16-Aug-2018
Concerned person in campus is on leave on 17th Aug; it's weekend on 18-19th August.

For my part though, I gathered all the useful info shared by @Nishika22 and other good folks in this forum, and suggested one such template to PGP Office on 8th Aug, later followed up on 14th Aug, only to be told they are aware of WES process and have their own format (thankfully, they are quite accessible).

On WES front, I tried following up over Twitter DM, Phone number and ContactUs ( in descending order of accessibility) requesting them to explicitly state the rejection-reason in email (instead of standard automated email) only to hear their standard "this is confidential, can't disclose" statement again and again.

Now if anyone out there is in touch with IIMA (in Aug-2018) over 'On Hold' status and has succeeded, please do ping me. Thank you :)
Finally, a positive update after long wait. Here is what happened in between.

20-Aug-2018: Spoke to PGP Office, he said he had already responded, with usual email.

To make a guess, I inquired whether it's happening only for me or others too; he said it's happening only for me.
Only then initials in the place of surname (common for students from Indian state of TamilNadu) in degree+transcripts (both UG, PG) came to mind.
I requested him to add a line addressing that, and he sent one more email. I don't know whether it made a difference (it's all black box still) yet wanted to share it here.

20-Aug-2018: We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s).
21-Aug-2018: We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s).
22-Aug-2018: We are reviewing your evaluation report.

Thanks everyone and especially @Nishika22 who is out there to help almost always.

Hey,
Try sending them a fax of your degree certificate. My husband faced a similar status. however for degree certificate they mentioned not received whereas your status says Not accepted. After sending them a fax they accepted his documents and he is now awaiting his evaluation report.
Hope it works out for your as well.

I called them yesterday...
Unfortunately they asked to send degree certificate in sealed and attested form
