Transfer Certificate UP (Sthanantaran Praman Patra)

For students in Uttar Pradesh planning to switch schools or colleges in 2025, the Transfer Certificate Up (TC) or Sthanantaran Praman Patra is indispensable. This guide covers everything you need to know—from its purpose and application process to FAQs and pro tips.

What is a Transfer Certificate?

A Transfer Certificate (TC) is an official document issued by your current school/college when you leave to join another institution. It includes:

• Personal Details: Name, date of birth, address.
• Academic History: Class/grade completed, duration of enrollment, conduct record.
• Confirmation: Proof of no pending dues or disciplinary issues.

Difference Between Transfer Certificate and Migration Certificate

• Transfer Certificate: Required for transferring to another school within the same board (e.g., UP Board to UP Board).
• Migration Certificate: Needed when switching boards (e.g., UP Board to CBSE) or for higher education/jobs outside the state.

Why is a Transfer Certificate Up Important?

• Admission Mandate: New schools require it for enrollment.
• Academic Continuity: Validates your previous academic performance.
• Legal Proof: Officially releases you from your former institution.
