Study Certificate Generator
Fill in the study period and classes, and get a print-ready study certificate — the document revenue offices ask for with caste, income, and domicile certificate applications.
Study Certificate
This is to certify that ________________, son/daughter of ________________, was a bonafide student of this institution from ______ to ______, during which he/she studied from ________ to ________.
During the above period, his/her conduct and character were found to be Good.
This certificate is issued at the request of the student/parent.
What a study certificate is used for
The document revenue offices actually ask for
A study certificate states the exact period and classes a student studied at an institution. It is one of the most-requested school documents in India because state revenue departments commonly require study certificates covering specific class ranges when a family applies for caste, income, domicile/residence, or EWS certificates — the certificate is the documentary proof of where the child studied during those years.
It differs from a bonafide certificate, which confirms current enrolment: a study certificate is retrospective and states a completed (or ongoing) span of study — "from Class VI to Class X, from 2020 to 2025".
Getting the period right
Enter the from/to classes and years exactly as they appear in the admission register — revenue offices verify these against school records, and several states require the certificate to cover specific classes (for example, proof of study for consecutive years within the state for a domicile certificate). The medium-of-instruction line is optional but is required by some state application forms, so this format includes it.
Print the certificate, have the Principal or Headmaster sign it, and apply the institution seal — most offices reject unsealed study certificates.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a study certificate and a bonafide certificate?
A bonafide certificate confirms that a student is currently enrolled at the institution. A study certificate is retrospective — it states the full span of classes and years the student studied there, which is what caste/income/domicile certificate applications ask for. Offices sometimes use the terms loosely, so check which span the requesting authority wants covered.
Why do caste and income certificate applications need a study certificate?
Revenue departments use school study records as documentary proof of a child's place of residence and continuity of study within the state. Several state application forms explicitly list a study certificate covering specific classes among the required documents, which is why schools issue so many of them.
Can a study certificate cover only part of a student's schooling?
Yes — it covers only the period the student actually studied at the issuing institution. If a student changed schools, each school issues a certificate for its own period, and the applicant submits them together.
Does the certificate need the medium of instruction?
Not always, but some state application forms and university admission processes ask for it, so this format includes an optional medium-of-instruction line. Leave it blank to omit the sentence entirely.
Is the generated certificate official?
Only after your institution prints it, an authorised signatory (Principal/Headmaster) signs it, and the school seal is applied. The tool handles the formatting; the authority comes from your institution.
