When you need a TC application
A Transfer Certificate (TC), sometimes called a School Leaving or College Leaving Certificate, shows that you have left an institution and are free to join another. Students usually need it when they take admission for higher studies after finishing a course, move to another college in the middle of a course, or leave because the family is relocating.
Most colleges issue a TC only on a written request, or through their own TC form, after you clear all dues. The application states who you are, your batch and roll number, why you need the TC and whether your dues are clear.
Documents usually attached
- No dues certificate or a no dues form signed by the library, hostel, accounts and department
- Copy of your college ID card
- Copy of the last fee receipt
- Copy of your latest marksheet
- The new institution's admission letter, if they ask for the TC
The exact list differs, so check your college office. Some colleges also return your original 10th and 12th documents along with the TC, which you can request in the detailed version.
Format and sample
Use a simple formal letter: To, the Principal, college name and city; the date; a subject line; a salutation; two or three short paragraphs; and a closing with your signature, course and roll number. Add a list of enclosures at the end.

Frequently asked questions
Who issues the TC, the college or the university?
Usually the college or institute where you studied. A migration certificate, which is different, usually comes from the university.
Do I need to clear dues first?
Almost always. Colleges usually ask for a no dues certificate from the library, hostel, accounts and department before they issue a TC.
Is there a fee for a TC?
Some colleges charge a small fee and many do not. Check with your college office.
Is a TC the same as a migration certificate?
No. A TC is about leaving the institution; a migration certificate is about moving from one university or board to another. Many students need both for admission elsewhere.
Is this tool free?
Yes. You fill a short form once when you see your first result, and the other Uncodemy tools then open without the form. Your letter details stay in your browser and are not uploaded.
