Yes, in most schools, the 9th class marksheet or promotion certificate is required to get admission in class 10th as proof of eligibility and prior schooling.

Hello,

In most cases, yes, the Class 9 marksheet or report card is required for admission into Class 10, especially if you are changing schools or boards.

1. Changing Schools (e.g., from one private school to another):

The new school needs academic records to assess your eligibility.

They often ask for:

Class 9 marksheet

Transfer Certificate (TC)

Birth certificate or Aadhaar

2. Changing Boards (e.g., from State Board to CBSE/ICSE or vice versa):

The new board may require Class 9 marksheet as proof of progression.

Some boards even verify previous school recognition and performance

When It Might Not Be Strictly Necessary:

If you're continuing in the same school and board, and they already have your Class 9 results internally, they may not ask for a physical marksheet.

However, it's still important to keep a copy for future records, especially for Class 10 board registration.

No, the 9th class marksheet is generally not mandatory for admission into 10th standard. What schools usually ask for includes:

• Transfer Certificate (TC) from the previous school

• Report card or progress report from class 9 (optional, not always insisted)

• Birth certificate or Aadhaar for age proof

• Passport-sized photographs

• Admission form duly filled

Some schools may ask for the 9th marksheet just to verify academic history, but it’s not a strict requirement in most cases, especially for regular school transfers. If you're shifting boards or schools, TC and other identity documents carry more weight.
