How to download your board marksheet from DigiLocker

Is a DigiLocker marksheet legally valid?

Yes, a marksheet downloaded from DigiLocker is legally valid. DigiLocker is an official government platform run by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology. It issues digital, authenticated copies of education certificates — including board marksheets (डिजिलॉकर से मार्कशीट) — that are recognised for university admissions, job applications and other official purposes.

The digital marksheet carries the same legal weight as a physical one because it is issued directly by your board and verified by DigiLocker's secure infrastructure. Many universities and employers now prefer or accept the digital copy, and you do not have to carry a physical document for most purposes.

How to download your board marksheet from DigiLocker, step by step

If your marksheet does not appear immediately after results are declared, wait a few days for your board to push the document to DigiLocker. Most boards issue marksheets within a week of declaring results. If it still does not appear, contact your school or your board's help desk.

Which boards issue marksheets on DigiLocker?

Most major Indian school boards now issue marksheets through DigiLocker. This includes CBSE, CISCE (ICSE/ISC), NIOS and all state boards. The move toward digital issuance is part of India's 'Digital India' initiative, so boards are progressively rolling out DigiLocker integration. However, implementation and the documents available may vary slightly by board and year.

• CBSE — issues marksheets through 'Parinam Manjusha', integrated with DigiLocker.
• CISCE (ICSE/ISC) — offers digital marksheets via DigiLocker.
• NIOS — makes certificates available through DigiLocker.
• State boards — most state boards (UP, Maharashtra, Bihar, Rajasthan, MP, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh) have integrated with DigiLocker.
• Coverage is expanding — if your board's marksheet does not yet appear on DigiLocker, check the board's official portal for an alternative download method.

Can't find your marksheet? What to check

• Wait a few days — boards release documents to DigiLocker within days of declaring results, but sometimes there is a lag.
• Check the correct class — ensure you are searching for your Class 10 or Class 12 marksheet.
• Verify your login — make sure you are logged into the correct DigiLocker account (the one linked to your Aadhaar or phone number).
• Check the Issued Documents section — documents appear under 'Issued to me', not under a search.
• Look for your school code — if the document is filed by your school code or roll number, search using those identifiers.
• Contact your school — ask your school to confirm that it has submitted your marksheet to your board. Your school can check the status on its side.
• Try the board's website — if DigiLocker still does not show it, visit your board's official result portal or download page directly.
• Call your board's help desk — most boards provide contact numbers for result or document queries on their official site.
