Question (Click to Flip)

What if my CBSE marksheet does not have a Memo Number?

Answer

On modern CBSE marksheets, look for the Serial Number printed at the top left corner (e.g., S.No. 000000). If the application specifically asks for a 'Certificate Number' and you only have a marksheet, you can enter this Serial Number.

Roll Number vs Memo Number

Do not confuse the two:

  • Roll Number (or Hall Ticket Number): This is your student ID for the exam. It proves you wrote the exam. (Usually printed in the center of the marksheet).
  • Memo/Certificate Number: This is the document's ID. It proves the physical piece of paper is original and legally issued by the board.
