The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) launched a Duplicate Academic Document System (DADS) on June 26, a facility that allows students to obtain duplicate copies of their academic documents that are lost or damaged. The duplicate documents can be requested at https://cbseit.in/cbse/web/dads/home.aspx.

According to the website, a digital copy of the certificate of someone who passed out before 2017 costs Rs 100. For printed certificates, the cost is – Rs 250 a copy for students who passed out in the past 5 years; Rs 500 a copy for those who fainted 5-10 years ago; and Rs 1,000 for those who fainted 10-20 years ago.

The method so far
People would approach their respective regional offices or apply on a prescribed form and deposit the required fees with the banks or, alternatively, mail forms and bank checks. However, this process was interrupted by the pandemic and the lockdowns.

DADS aims to reduce the need for physical presence of the applicant or their parents. Through this online portal, they can now obtain duplicate mark sheets, pass certificates and migration certificates.

The regional offices will print the academic documents upon receipt of the applications and send them via emergency mail. A tracking system allows the students to track the status of the application and shipment details. This portal gives the applicant the option to choose both a digital and a printed copy of the academic document.
