Hindi to English Academic Transcript Translation for School Admission

What a Hindi Academic Transcript Contains

Academic transcripts issued by the Board of High School and Intermediate Education Uttar Pradesh (and similar state boards) follow a standard layout. The document lists the candidate’s high school examination subjects, paper-wise marks, maximum marks per subject, total marks, and grand total. It also records the examination result, the division awarded (first division, second division, or pass), and whether the candidate passed in all subjects.

Lekhak’s AI translation preserves this table structure. The original Hindi column headers become English equivalents, the mark values remain unchanged, and text fields such as subject names and result remarks are translated. Any handwritten remarks or stamps are captured via OCR where legible and included in the output.

Why People Translate a Hindi Marksheet into English

School admission abroad is the most common reason. Universities, colleges, and school boards outside India require academic credentials in English as part of the application package. The translated transcript helps admissions committees evaluate subject grades, division categories, and board recognition. Beyond school admission, the English version also supports visa applications under student visa categories, employment verification by overseas employers, and scholarship submissions. In our experience translating similar documents, the Board of High School and Intermediate Education UP marksheet is one of the most frequently requested transcripts for use in English-speaking countries.

When AI Translation Meets School Admission Needs, and When It Doesn’t

AI translation from Lekhak gives you a fast, readable English version that is sufficient for understanding the document, preparing your application packet, and submitting a draft for review by an admissions officer or a certified translator. Many universities accept AI-translated transcripts for initial evaluation or conditional admission.

However, some institutions and most embassy visa offices require a certified translation with a translator’s signed certificate of accuracy and sometimes notarisation. Lekhak does not provide certified, notarised, or attested translations. If your target school or visa authority explicitly demands a certified version, you must arrange that separately through a credentialed translation provider or the appropriate embassy.

What Lekhak’s AI Translation Produces

When you upload your Hindi marksheet to Lekhak (as PDF, image, or DOCX), the platform returns a clean DOCX file within minutes. The file mirrors the original layout: subject columns, mark tables, and result fields are preserved. Hindi text is replaced by English. The output does not include a translator’s certificate, notary stamp, or attestation. It is an AI-generated, best-effort translation intended for reference, draft submission, and personal use. If your school admission package requires a signed certificate, you can take the Lekhak DOCX to a certified human translator or a translation office for verification and certification.

When Notarisation, Apostille, or Embassy Attestation Is Required

For school admission abroad, some countries (e.g. Hague Apostille Convention members) may require the transcript to be attested by the Ministry of External Affairs or the state education department. This process is separate from translation. Lekhak does not handle notarisation, apostille, or embassy attestation, you arrange these independently through the issuing board or the designated attestation authority.

How to Get a Duplicate Copy of Your Hindi Marksheet

If you have misplaced your original marksheet, you can request a duplicate from the issuing board. For the Board of High School and Intermediate Education UP, visit the board’s regional office or its official portal. You will need to provide details such as your roll number, year of examination, and a fee. The duplicate is issued on the same standard format, which you can then translate using Lekhak.
