Frequently asked questions
Do CBSE and state-board certificates follow the same process?
Not always. State-board certificates go through the state education department, while central boards can follow a different route. We confirm it for your certificate.
Should I attest the passing certificate or the mark sheet?
It depends on what the school, college or employer abroad asks for. Many ask for both, so we check before starting.
