Submit Your Query to COBSE

The Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE) is a non-profit, autonomous apex body established under the Government of India. It is a consortium of all recognised Boards of School Education — national, state, Sanskrit, Madarsa, and international — and serves as the authoritative source for verifying board recognition status, promoting standardisation, and advocating policy reforms in school education.

You can check the official COBSE List of Recognised Boards, which is regularly updated. If you cannot find a board on the list, it may not be recognised. You may also submit a verification query using the form above, providing the board's name, state, and year of passing.

Yes. COBSE provides marksheet and certificate verification services for secondary and senior secondary examinations. You may submit a verification request via the query form above or visit our office in New Delhi with supporting documents. Typical turnaround time is 3–5 working days.

school education boards seeking COBSE membership must meet eligibility criteria defined in the Guidelines for school education boards. Schools can refer to the Guidelines for Schools.
