DigiLocker Marksheet 2026: Download 10th, 12th & University Marksheet Online

What is DigiLocker?

DigiLocker is a cloud-based digital wallet built by the Government of India under the Digital India programme. Instead of carrying physical certificates, students and citizens can store, access and share government-issued documents — Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence, and academic records among them — from a phone or browser, anywhere.

For students specifically, DigiLocker is linked to the National Academic Depository (NAD), a system where school boards, universities and other institutions upload marksheets, passing certificates and degrees directly. Once your institution has uploaded your record, you can fetch it into your own DigiLocker account and download a copy that carries the issuer’s digital signature — making it as good as the physical document for most official purposes.

Documents you can download from DigiLocker

Depending on what your board, university or institution has uploaded, your DigiLocker account can hold:

• Class 10 (secondary) marksheet and passing certificate
• Class 12 (senior secondary) marksheet and passing certificate
• Migration certificate
• Semester or consolidated university marksheets
• Degree and diploma certificates
• APAAR ID / Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) card
• Non-academic documents such as Aadhaar, PAN card and driving licence

One important thing to know: DigiLocker does not create or issue your marksheet. It only displays what your board or university has already uploaded. If a document is missing, the fix usually lies with the issuing institution, not with your DigiLocker account.

What you need before you start

Keep these details ready so the whole process takes minutes rather than multiple attempts:

• A mobile number, ideally the one linked to your Aadhaar
• Your 12-digit Aadhaar number or Virtual ID (VID), if you plan to verify with Aadhaar
• Roll number and year of passing, exactly as printed on your admit card (for 10th/12th)
• School code, for CBSE students
• Your APAAR ID, if one has already been generated — it can let your marksheet appear automatically
• Enrolment or registration number, for university and degree marksheets

Creating a DigiLocker account

If you’ve never used DigiLocker before, set up an account first:

1. Open the website or app. Visit digilocker.gov.in on a browser, or install the DigiLocker app from the Play Store or App Store.
2. Select Sign Up. Choose “Login or Create Account” on the landing page.
3. Enter your mobile number. Type your 10-digit number and continue; the +91 country code fills in automatically.
4. Verify with OTP. Enter the 6-digit one-time password sent to that number. Don’t refresh or close the tab while you wait.
5. Add your basic details. Full name and date of birth, matching your official documents.
6. Set a security PIN and, optionally, a username. You’ll use these for faster sign-ins later.
7. Verify your identity with Aadhaar (recommended). Enter your Aadhaar number or VID so education records can be matched to you correctly.

DigiLocker login: step by step

Once your account exists, logging back in takes under a minute. DigiLocker supports three sign-in methods:

1. Go to the official site or app. Use digilocker.gov.in or the DigiLocker app — never a link forwarded by someone else.
2. Tap Sign In. Pick whichever method you set up: mobile, Aadhaar, or username.
3. Enter your credentials. Mobile number, Aadhaar number with PIN, or username with password.
4. Complete the OTP or PIN step. This is the two-factor check that confirms it’s really you.
5. Land on your dashboard. From here you can search, fetch and download any issued document.

How to download your 10th marksheet from DigiLocker

The flow is broadly the same across CBSE, ICSE/CISCE and most state boards, with small differences in the exact fields requested. Here’s the general process, using CBSE as the example:

1. Log in to DigiLocker using the steps above.
2. Open “Search Documents” or “Education.” Look for this on your dashboard or in the app menu.
3. Search for your board. For example, “Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE),” or your specific state board.
4. Select the document. Choose “Class X Marksheet” (or your board’s equivalent label).
5. Enter your details. Roll number, year of passing, and school code (for CBSE); date of birth may also be requested by some boards.
6. Select “Get Document.” DigiLocker fetches the record directly from your board’s database.
7. Download the PDF. Your marksheet will now also sit permanently under “Issued Documents” for future access.

If you already have an APAAR ID linked to your school, many boards push the marksheet into your account automatically once results are declared, so it may already be waiting under “Issued Documents” the first time you check.

How to download your 12th marksheet from DigiLocker

Downloading your Class 12 (senior secondary) marksheet follows the identical pattern to the 10th marksheet, with one difference worth planning for:

1. Log in to DigiLocker and open “Search Documents.”
2. Search for your board and select “Class XII Marksheet.”
3. Enter roll number, year of passing and school code as requested.
4. Select “Get Document” to fetch it, then download the PDF.

Because Class 12 results feed directly into college admissions and entrance-exam counselling, it’s worth downloading this marksheet the same week results are declared, rather than waiting — admission portals frequently ask you to upload it early in the process.

How to download a university or degree marksheet

University-level documents — semester marksheets, consolidated marksheets, diploma and degree certificates — are handled through the National Academic Depository (NAD), which sits inside DigiLocker rather than as a separate portal.

1. Log in to DigiLocker and open “Search Documents.”
2. Search your university or institution by its full official name. Check the spelling carefully; many institutions have similarly named counterparts in other states.
3. Choose the document type — Degree Certificate, Diploma Certificate, Semester Marksheet or Consolidated Marksheet.
4. Enter your enrolment number, registration number and year, as requested by your institution’s records.
5. Select “Get Document” and download the PDF once it appears.

Is a DigiLocker marksheet valid for admissions and jobs?

Yes. Every document fetched into DigiLocker from an issuing board or university carries that issuer’s digital signature, which makes it legally equivalent to the physical original under the Information Technology Act, 2000. In practice, this means:

• Colleges and universities accept it for admission and counselling
• It’s valid for entrance-exam registrations such as JEE Main, where boards confirm it can substitute for a physical marksheet if the original isn’t yet available
• Government departments and many employers accept it for verification
• The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed universities to accept degrees and marksheets presented through DigiLocker

Most schools will still hand you a physical marksheet later, but there’s no need to wait for it before applying anywhere that accepts digital documents.

APAAR ID and why it matters

APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) is a unique, lifelong academic ID introduced under the National Education Policy 2020, sometimes generated through the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) portal. Think of it as one identifier that follows a student’s academic record across schools, boards and universities.

Its practical benefit for this guide: once your APAAR ID is linked to your school or board profile, your results can be pushed into your DigiLocker account automatically as soon as they’re declared, skipping the manual “search and fetch” steps entirely. Students without a linked APAAR ID can still get their marksheet — it just takes the extra step of entering roll number, year and school code by hand.

Common problems and how to fix them

OTP not received

Make sure you’re using the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar, since UIDAI sends the OTP to that number specifically. Wait a few minutes for delivery delays, then use “Resend.” If it consistently fails, the number on your Aadhaar record may be outdated — this can only be corrected at an Aadhaar enrolment centre, not online.

Marksheet or document not found

This almost always means the issuing board or institution hasn’t uploaded the record yet, or your APAAR ID isn’t linked. Re-check the spelling of the institution name, confirm your roll number and year of passing match your admit card exactly, and try again after 24–48 hours if results were declared very recently.

Aadhaar or name mismatch

If the name, date of birth or gender on your Aadhaar doesn’t match your school records, verification can fail. Update the mismatched field through UIDAI’s official Aadhaar correction process, then retry.

“UID service temporarily unavailable”

This is usually a short-lived issue on DigiLocker’s or UIDAI’s servers rather than a problem with your account. Wait a while and try again.

Benefits of using DigiLocker for your marksheet

• Instant access — no waiting on your school or college to physically hand over documents
• Free and paperless — no printing, scanning or courier costs
• Tamper-evident — the digital signature makes forged copies easy to detect
• One place for everything — marksheets sit alongside Aadhaar, PAN and other documents
• Shareable on demand — send a verifiable copy to colleges or employers without couriering originals

Final thoughts

Once you know where to look, getting your marksheet off DigiLocker is quicker than digging out a physical copy from a folder at home. Log in, search for your board or university under Education documents, enter your roll number or enrolment details, and your digitally signed 10th, 12th or degree marksheet is ready to download and reuse for every admission, scholarship or verification form that comes next.
