The Uttarakhand Board of School Education (UBSE) is the state-level board that conducts the Class 12 (senior/higher secondary) examinations in Uttarakhand. For students seeking their “Higher Secondary Certificate” (HSC) in Uttarakhand, the process involves registering for the board exam in Class 12, filling the application/registration form (through your school or institution), submitting required documents, paying any fees, and then appearing for the exams when scheduled. So, let’s know how to apply for the Uttarakhand Higher Secondary Certificate.

How to Apply for the Uttarakhand Higher Secondary Certificate:
Here’s how to apply for the Uttarakhand Higher Secondary Certificate:
Step 1: Obtain the registration/application form from the school
-
The registration/exam form is handled through your school/institution. The school registers students with UBSE for the board exams.
-
The school may make the form available via an online portal or distribute paper forms to students.
Step 2: Fill details & submit with documents
- Provide correct personal details (name, father’s/mother’s name, date of birth), academic details (previous year roll no., class 11 details), exam stream (Science/Commerce/Arts/other), and subjects.
- Attach required supporting documents (see next section).
- Submit the completed form to the school (or upload, if online), by the stipulated last date.
Step 3: Verification & fee payment
- The school will verify your details and documents and forward the application to the relevant board office or district/ block education authority.
- Pay the exam/registration fee (if applicable) via the mode specified by the school/board. Some sources mention fee payment via bank draft/online.
Step 4: Admit card & exam schedule
- After successful registration, the board issues the Admit Card (hall ticket) for the board examinations.
- Download/collect the admit card via your school and check all details (name, roll number, exam centre, subjects).
- The exam timetable (date sheet) is released in advance.
Step 5: Appear for the examination & obtain a certificate
- Attend the exam on the scheduled date/time, bearing your admit card.
- After papers are evaluated, results are declared.
- Once you pass, the Higher Secondary Certificate or mark sheet will be issued by your school/board.
- If any discrepancy is found later (in the marksheet etc) there is a correction procedure.
Documents Required For Uttarakhand Higher Secondary Certificate:
When submitting your application/registration, ensure you have the following documents ready (the list may vary by school/board year). Based on sources:
- Passport‐size photograph of the student.
- Date of Birth certificate and proof (usually from the school or previous board).
- Previous year (Class 11) examination details: board name, roll number, passing year.
- If required: Domicile certificate of Uttarakhand (some admission/board processes ask for a domicile certificate).
- Fee payment receipt or fee challan.
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) if claiming reservation/fee concessions.
- School may also require internal assessment details, subject selection form, etc.
Common Mistakes & Tips:
- Don’t wait till the last minute to submit the registration form — schools and board offices get busy and technical issues can crop up.
- Check your details carefully (name spelling, father/mother name, date of birth, stream/subjects). Mistakes make it harder later.
- Ensure your school forwards the application in time; your registration depends on the school sending in the list to the board/district.
- Keep all receipts safe (fee payment, registration number, admit card) for future reference.
- If you see any discrepancy in your marksheet after results (name, roll number, stream) you can apply for correction.
- Make sure you bring the admit card to the exam centre — without it you may not be allowed to sit the exam.
