+===== 10 RTI questions =====
+  - Workflow stage.
+  - Department clearance.
+  - Controller approval.
+  - Convocation schedule.
+  - Migration / transcript status.
+  - Fee + dues status.
+  - Correction procedure.
+  - Issuance ETA.
+  - Registrar contact.
+  - FAA contact.
+===== What happens next =====
+  * **Day 0–10** RTI routed.
+  * **Day 10–25** Registrar's office pulls the record; clearances get chased.
+  * **Day 30** Reply mandatory.
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Not quoting registration number.
+  * Filing at the department instead of the Registrar.
+  * Missing the convocation question for degrees.
+  * Forgetting fee / dues verification — many universities hold degrees for unpaid dues.
+===== Pro tips =====
+  * **Clear all dues first** — library / hostel / department — otherwise degree will be held despite RTI.
+  * **For foreign-university transcripts**, combined transcript + attestation request is faster than separate.
+  * **Name-change via gazette** + affidavit is usually required for post-degree name change.
+  * **Section 7(1) proviso (48 hours)** can be invoked if a document is needed for an imminent visa / admission deadline.
+===== FAQs =====
+**Q1. How long is universities' usual turnaround?**\\ 30-90 days for degrees after the final exam; migration usually 15 days; transcripts 15-30 days.
+**Q2. Can RTI compel faster processing?**\\ Not directly, but the mandatory reply is often accompanied by actual processing.
+**Q3. Are private universities under RTI?**\\ Only if substantially funded / established by statute. Grant-in-aid institutions typically yes; fully private institutions no.
+**Q4. Can I get a certified copy of another student's degree?**\\ No — third-party personal record, §8(1)(j).
+===== Conclusion =====
+Universities are public authorities. Your degree is your record. RTI surfaces the processing chain.
