1) What counts as a “duplicate CBSE marksheet”
If your original Class 10 mark sheet is lost, damaged, or not traceable, CBSE allows you to get a printed duplicate or digital copy through its official systems. CBSE provides this through the Duplicate Academic Document System (DADS) (official CBSE portal) and issues guidelines on corrections/duplicates on its website.
Important: CBSE has also been encouraging digital documents and recently moved some records (like migration certificates) fully to DigiLocker for new batches. Always verify what is available digitally first.
2) Quick overview: Paths to get your duplicate
Path A: Digital copy (if available) via DigiLocker for more recent years.
Path B: Printed duplicate via CBSE DADS (Marksheet/Migration/Pass Certificate). You fill details, upload proofs, pay fee, and track delivery status.
Avoid scams: CBSE has warned against fake agents claiming “instant duplicates.” Use only official CBSE portals or trusted facilitators.
3) Step-by-step: Apply via CBSE’s official portal
Follow these clear steps to reduce errors and rejections:
Find your exam details: Year of passing, roll number, school no., center no., candidate name exactly as printed.
Check digital availability: Log in to DigiLocker and look under “Education → CBSE.” If your year is supported, download the digital marksheet. If not, continue.
Open the official DADS page: Choose Mark Statement / Marksheet. Select Digital or Printed Document as per need.
Fill the application: Enter details exactly as in your admit card. Even a small spelling mismatch can cause status “on hold.”

Upload required documents:
- ID proof (Aadhaar/PAN)
- Affidavit if original is lost/destroyed (as per CBSE guidance)
- FIR/DDR copy (recommended in loss cases; check your year/RO requirement)
Pay the fee: Fees vary by the age of record (e.g., up to 5 years, 5–10, 10–20). The portal shows slabs and any urgent handling/dispatch charges.
Choose dispatch mode: Speed post / by-hand (availability varies). Keep the tracking ID.
Track application: Use “Live Status/Track Application” on DADS. If anything is missing, resolve it quickly to avoid auto-closure.
Pro-Tip: Keep your admit card handy. Matching name, father/mother names, DOB, and roll number exactly reduces queries from CBSE’s Marks & Migration (M&M) office.
4) Documents, fees & timelines (with tips to avoid rejection)
Core documents: ID proof, application form, and where required, Affidavit and FIR/DDR for lost cases (CBSE’s certification/duplicate guidance mentions affidavit requirements).
Fees: Displayed on DADS based on years elapsed since issue. Older records generally cost more. Urgent handling may be extra.
Timelines: Standard applications take days to a couple of weeks depending on dispatch and backlog. Digital downloads (if available on DigiLocker) can be same day.
Avoid rejection due to:
- Spelling mismatch with original records
- Wrong year/roll number
- Missing affidavit for “lost” cases
- Unclear scans (ID/FIR)
5) Common reasons for delays—and how RTI helps
Here’s where people get stuck:
- Application shows “On Hold for Verification” for weeks.
- Regional office seeks clarifications; emails go unanswered.
- Dispatch tracking inactive.
How RTI helps: You can file an rti application to the concerned CBSE unit asking:
- Current status, file/Diary/Reference number
- Deficiency observed (if any)
- Expected date of dispatch
- Name/designation of officer handling the case
This is legal, time-bound information disclosure. If the office is silent, RTI gives you written reasons—vital if you need to escalate.
Worried about time loss affecting admissions, passport, visa, or job joining? Use RTI early to document delays and expedite. This is often the difference between a smooth outcome and a missed opportunity.
6) Example scenarios (so you can copy the steps)
Example 1 (2019 batch, damaged marksheet):
Try DigiLocker first. If not present, apply on DADS → choose Printed → upload ID + a brief self-declaration of damage → pay fee as per slab up to 5 years → choose speed post → track.
Example 2 (2011 batch, lost marksheet):
File a DDR/FIR at local police station. Make an affidavit on loss. Apply on DADS → upload ID + FIR + affidavit → pay fee for 10–20 years slab → select urgent if deadline is near → track. If stuck beyond 10 working days, consider file rti online for status.
