What is the VTU Degree Certificate?
The VTU Degree Certificate is an official document issued by Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) to students who have completed their academic requirements and earned a degree from the university. This certificate formally acknowledges the completion of a specific course and confirms that the student has met VTU’s academic standards. The certificate typically includes:
- Graduate’s name
- USN (University Seat Number)
- Degree earned
- Field of study or branch
- Passed-out month and year
- Division earned (FCD/FC/SC/PASS)
- QR Code (for certificate verification purpose)
The VTU Degree Certificate is crucial for validating educational achievements and is often needed for professional and academic purposes after completing degrees at VTU.

I’m getting a “No record found” error while fetching my VTU degree certificate in DigiLocker.
If you’re getting this error, kindly recheck the USN number and the year of course completion selected. If both are entered correctly but you are still unable to download your certificate, it means your degree certificate has not yet been pushed to the NAD database by VTU.
