<p>1.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Introduction<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some 20 years ago, while living in Pakistan, I thought of applying for higher education to a foreign university, and thus I had to travel 400 kilometers to a different city to the university in Pakistan I had graduated from. I tried to avoid this unnecessary travel by making phone calls. I asked friends in that city to visit the university and save me the trouble of travelling for 5 hours. I also sent a letter to the registrar of the university but no one relied. All I needed was an attestation of my degree sent directly to the foreign university.<br />
<br />
1.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Need for Project<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The unnecessary travel I did in the end nevertheless and at the university I was asked to submit an application explaining why a photocopy of the transcript had to be attested by the registrar. Why the university wanted to know this I could not understand. Did the university think that after graduating me their job was done and I was not supposed to make any contact with them in future. I had to attach a copy of my degree, transcripts, older degrees, matriculation and secondary school certificates, national identity and proof of my intentions of seeking admission. The foreign university required that the attested photocopy had to be enclosed in an envelope with the university emblem on it, but the university did not possess such an envelope.<br />
<br />
1.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Project Location<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When I submitted my application, with all the necessary requirements, attachments and application terminologies reminiscent of imperialism, I was asked to come back in two days along with an envelope bearing the necessary postage stamps for the country of my intended university. I again did not understand why it would take 2 days for the university to find my records. The register refused to seal and stamp the seams of the envelope and it took me a lot of pleading to convince him to do so. I wanted the registrar of the foreign university to think that the envelope was sent to him directly by the registrar of local university without any intervention from my side. I wanted to be proud of my university even though I had no reason to do so.<br />
<br />
1.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Space Description<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Two years later, I graduated from the foreign university and started looking for a job in the same country but a different city. The prospective employers wanted me to have my attested transcripts sent to them directly by the university. The employers need transcripts to evaluate the employees&rsquo; areas of expertise. I called the foreign university and someone picked the phone after two rings and asked me to either write a letter mentioning the address where I wanted the application form to be mailed back to or simply narrate my address on the phone. I did so and I received a letter the next day from the university with the university emblem on the front and an application form inside, asking me to write on the form the year of graduation, my roll number and address where I wanted the transcript to be mailed to; and return to the university with a minimal processing fee.<br />
