Madrasa certificates will now be CBSE equivalent
New Delhi: In a move that goes a long way in mainstreaming Madrasa
students across the country and help clear their way to higher
education, the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry is all set to
grant madrasa certificates equivalence to the Central Board of
Secondary Education (CBSE).
A key recommendation of the Sachar committee â and also on the PM's
15-point programme for minorities â a special panel set up by the
Ministry recently recommended that in states where madrasa
certificates are recognized as equivalent to secondary and senior
secondary level, these should also be granted equivalence by the CBSE.
The notification is expected soon and will benefit some 7000 madrasas
and 3.5 lakh students in seven states that have madrasa boards: Uttar
Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Assam and West
Bengal. This will also apply to madrasa certificated already issued.
In states without a madrasa board, the panel has recommended that
students should have an option to approach a madrasa board in a
neighbouring state to avail of the CBSE equivalence.
