What is TC and how can we Apply for it?

A TC is a school transfer certificate provided by the current school in which the child is studying and is needed for the child’s transfer to another school or college. Without a TC, the other school or college won’t allow the students to take admission. Along with other documents, TC is a compulsory certificate that has to be submitted during admission procedures.

A TC is issued by the head authority of the college or school where the student resides. It is given either on completion of studies or the course. TC can also be issued if requested for some cases, like moving to a new city, changing schools for some reason, etc. A parent of the student or a student can write a letter requesting a TC to the head authority of the institution.

Format of School Transfer Application

The format of a TC is the same as that of a formal letter. TC letters should include the necessary information like date, transfer reason, admission certificate of the new school or college, etc. Check the format given below to get an idea.
