It is aimed primarily at students with Cambridge International AS & A Levels and Cambridge IGCSE ™ qualifications who intend to apply for admission to Indian educational institutions.  \nEquivalence and eligibility  \nQ01 . What is the process for getting an equivalence certificate?  \nYou can apply to the University Grants Commission online at [https://equivalence.ugc.ac.in/](https://equivalence.ugc.ac.in/) . Most Indian institutions , including Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), do not require an equivalence certificate if you have taken exams in India.  \nQ02 . Can an equivalence certificate confirm my admission to any university?  \nNo. An equivalence certificate confirms that your Cambridge International A Level qualification is equivalent to the 10+2 qualification from any Indian exam board. Equivalence is not necessarily sufficient to meet eligibility requirements for specific courses and at different institutions. Institutions are free to set separate eligibility conditions that are over and above equivalence requirements.  \nQ03 . A university requires an eligibility certificate to confirm my admission offer. How can I get an eligibility certificate?  \nMost Indian universities have an eligibility department that issues certificates to students migrating from other boards. Please contact the admitting university directly. Some state-funded universities may require you to apply for an eligibility certificate from the state’s higher secondary or pre-university exam board.  \nQ04 . Is Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language accepted in India?  \nYes. Cambridge IGCSE First Language English, Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language and Cambridge O Level English Language are accepted in India.  \nCambridge IGCSE / Cambridge O Level  \nQ05 . How do I convert Cambridge IGCSE grades to marks?  \nIf you took Cambridge IGCSEs in India in November 2010 or later, your statement of results will include percentage uniform marks. These can be used for admission purposes. If your statement of results has percentage uniform marks alongside your grades, you will not need to convert your grades to marks. Otherwise, use Appendix 1 to convert your grades.  \nQ06 . I need a school transfer certificate for admission to a school affiliated to an Indian exam board. I have studied up to Standard 8 in a Cambridge school and am seeking admission to the next standard. Who should I contact about this?  \nYou should contact your Cambridge school.  \nQ07 . What is the process to get a school transfer certificate verified by the local district education office? I am applying to a school in the UAE and the consulate requires this verification.  \nPlease contact your school in India. They should contact the local district education office and provide the necessary school records for the verification.  \nQ08 . I took Cambridge IGCSEs and now wish to move to a school that follows a national curriculum. What supporting documents should be provided to the admitting school?  \nAll Indian exam boards have their own byelaws for admission. Please refer to the website of the exam board that you wish to join. In addition to your Cambridge IGCSE statement of results, certificate and migration certificate, your school should provide a school leaving certificate that certifies the duration of your schooling. You may also provide a copy of Appendix 2.  \nQ9 . Do Indian schools following a local curriculum consider Cambridge IGCSE Physics, Chemistry and Biology as a single subject?  \nThe three separate sciences offered at Cambridge IGCSE are treated as three valid subjects. Coordinated Science is accepted as two valid subjects.  \nQ10 . Will Cambridge IGCSE Grades F and G be accepted for admission to Standard 11 of any Indian exam board?  \nIf you have Grades F and G , you will ","cbCaino3VCgQ2wBs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaino3VCgQ2wBs","pdf",438066,"English","# Recognition and acceptance in India\n## Equivalence and eligibility\n## Cambridge IGCSE / Cambridge O Level\n## Cambridge International AS & A Level","[{\"question\":\"How can I apply for an equivalence certificate in India?\",\"answer\":\"Apply online through the University Grants Commission website (https://equivalence.ugc.ac.in/).
