You've finally created your WES account. You've selected your university. You've paid the evaluation fee. All that's left is uploading your mark sheets. But here's the problem β your mark sheets are in Hindi. You get them translated. You upload everything. Then the dreaded email arrives: "Your documents do not meet WES requirements. Please resubmit." Your CRS score is frozen. Your Express Entry profile is sitting idle. And your dream of Canadian PR is slipping away β one rejected translation at a time.
WES (World Education Services), ECE, and IQAS have extremely strict document requirements. A single mistake in your mark sheet translation means delays, re-evaluation fees, and lost months in your PR timeline. Every year, thousands of Indian students face this exact problem β and most don't know why their translation was rejected.
π΄ Why Mark Sheet Translations Get Rejected
WES evaluators check every detail. Here's what goes wrong:
- Subject names not translated accurately β "ΰ€ΰ€£ΰ€Ώΰ€€" becomes "Maths" instead of "Mathematics." "ΰ€ΰ₯ΰ€€ΰ€Ώΰ€ΰ₯" becomes "Physics" but the university spells it differently. WES cross-checks against your degree β any mismatch triggers rejection.
- Grade format inconsistencies β Indian mark sheets show marks (e.g., 78/100). The translation converts them to GPA or percentage differently. WES requires the ORIGINAL format preserved β not reinterpreted.
- Missing university stamp or seal details β the translation doesn't mention the university stamp, controller's signature, or official seal β making it look unofficial to WES evaluators.
- Layout doesn't match original β WES wants the translation to mirror the EXACT layout of the original β same columns, same rows, same structure. Reformatting or rearranging leads to rejection.
- No translator declaration β the translation is missing the certified translator's name, signature, date, and declaration of accuracy. WES treats this as an unofficial document.
π’ What WES Actually Requires
A certified mark sheet translation for WES must include:
- Exact word-for-word translation β every subject name, every mark, every grade β translated precisely, not paraphrased or summarized.
- Original layout preserved β same columns, same rows, same structure as the Hindi original. The English version should look like a mirror image.
- University details translated β university name, examination authority, controller's designation β all translated accurately.
- Stamp and seal acknowledged β the translation must reference the university stamp, seal, and signature β and include a description of each.
- Certified translator declaration β signed statement from the translator confirming accuracy β with name, date, and certification number.

β Frequently Asked Questions
Does WES accept self-translated mark sheets?
No. WES requires translations to be completed by a certified translator who provides a signed declaration of accuracy. Self-translations, Google Translate output, or translations by non-certified individuals are rejected.
How many mark sheets do I need translated for WES?
Every mark sheet from your degree β semester-wise or year-wise. WES requires the complete academic record. Missing even one mark sheet can delay your evaluation or trigger a rejection.
My mark sheet is already in English. Do I still need translation?
If your mark sheet is entirely in English with no regional language text, you may not need translation. However, if it has any Hindi/regional language headers, stamps, or annotations, a certified translation of those elements is required.
