Kazakh degrees, transcripts and certificates for India are apostilled in Kazakhstan by the competent ministry. Both countries are Apostille Convention parties, so no embassy legalisation is needed.

Apostille & Attestation from Kazakhstan: how it works
Before departure, we arrange apostilles for educational, birth and police clearance documents, obtaining state or board verification first.
On return, we advise on apostilling Kazakh degrees and internship certificates and the documents the National Medical Commission needs. Where certificates contain name or date errors, we help correct them at the source.
We also apostille Indian marriage and birth certificates for families living in Kazakhstan.
If your Kazakh university issues documents only in Kazakh or Russian, the certified English translation should also be apostilled or attached to the apostilled original, as the National Medical Commission requires English documents.
We also handle apostilles for Indian birth and marriage certificates for families living in Kazakhstan.
