Send transcripts in University sealed envelop if it is asked in the Visa Office Specific Instructions for your local CHC. Because photocopies sent by you and transcripts in university seal envelop are different.

1)should the spouse also get it done?? :(
Yes send transcripts in university sealed envelop for you and your spouse
2)regarding PCC ,since i will have to submitt within april all docs to delhi,but i would be getting the pcc in jan itself,so it will valid only for 3 months i.e till april,but till tht i would have sent it to delhi.so is it ok if it expires after it reaches delhi??? :(
PCC is valid for 3 months, and it should be valid at the time of your sending the application/reaching the Visa Office.
plzzz help
 
Please see the response from CHC regarding a similar question

The sealed transcripts must originate from and bear the seal of the educational institution which originally issued the transcripts. If the college, affiliated with the university, is the original issuer of the transcripts, you may submit the transcripts sealed by the college. If not, then you must obtain sealed transcripts from the university.

Universities in India are familiar with our requirements and have not, to date, refused to issue sealed transcripts. If you are unable to obtain sealed transcripts, you may submit notarized transcripts however, they will be subject to close scrutiny and the visa officer may still require sealed transcripts.

We trust that this information will be of assistance.

If you are claiming points for Spouse he/she should do so

PCC should not be 3 months old then your date of application to CIO as per instruction guide. Please see Page 20

Dear Ankit, If the original transcripts are in a language other than English, is there a need to submit them?

If you have the transcripts in sealed envolope from University you do not need to submit copies of your original transcripts
 
I don't have them in sealed envelopes. :(

In this case you got a problem :(

What you can do is get the translation of your original transcripts and send the notarized copies of the original script along with translation and affidavit from translator.

But As I replied to zeba above CHC says they may still ask for the transcripts in sealed envolope from University.

Is it not possible to get the transcripts in sealed envolope even by visiting personally to university and getting things done the eway they get done in India
 
I think I have to submit notarized translations. I checked with my lawyer and he suggested the same.

Send Original Transcripts in a sealed envelope from University and also along send translation. Apply for two separate copies of transcripts. Might cost you more but it will be safe.
