Migration Certificate: A migration certificate is a document provided by the School/College/University to the students so that they can get admissions into other institutions. The school or college officials are responsible to give the migration certificate along with necessary documents (like mark sheets, transfer certificates, character certificates, etc.) to the students. These documents help students to get admission anywhere in the country without any objection.
The education board from where students have completed their course has to issue the migration and other important certificates. There are many education boards in India such as CBSE, ICSE and the State Boards (for each state). All these boards provide the relevant documents related to courses that students have completed.
Usually, when a student has completed his/her Class 10th or Class 12th, they tend to change their institution to get admission for another course. After 10th students usually try to attempt for Diploma courses and after 12th they proceed to get admission in colleges or universities to become a graduate.
Admission to higher courses in any institution is possible only if the candidates fulfill the criteria as stipulated by the particular school or college. They should score the cut-off marks in Class 10th and Class 12th. During the time of admission, the education institution demands mark sheets, transfer certificates, migration certificates and character certificate.
