Character / Conduct Certificate Format Explained
A character certificate (also called a conduct certificate) is a short statement on the school’s letterhead in which the school certifies a student’s conduct and moral character during the period they studied there. It is one of the most-requested certificates for college and university admission, job applications, and visa or scholarship forms, because the receiving institution wants the previous school’s assessment of the student’s behaviour.
A correct character / conduct certificate format is short but specific. Include all of these fields so the certificate is accepted.
- School detailsSchool name and full address on the letterhead, with the school's own logo. No board emblem.
- Serial numberA serial / reference number for the school’s own register and traceability.
- Student detailsStudent name, father's name, and the class and section they were admitted to.
- Period of studyThe dates (or session) from when to when the student studied at the school — this defines the period the conduct statement covers.
- Conduct statementThe explicit certification of the student’s conduct and moral character (e.g. "excellent" / "very good" / "good") during their time at the school.
- Reason for leavingWhy the student is leaving — completion of studies, relocation, transfer, etc.
- Issue details & signaturePlace and date of issue, the principal’s signature and the school seal.
Below is a safe, generic example of a character / conduct certificate. It uses only a sample school’s own details — no board logo or government emblem is shown.

Character certificate vs conduct certificate: the two terms are used interchangeably in Indian schools and colleges. Both certify the student’s behaviour and moral character over the period of study; "conduct certificate" simply emphasises behaviour while "character certificate" emphasises moral character. This tool produces a layout that satisfies either request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the character certificate format?
A character certificate format is a short statement on the school’s letterhead that names the student and father, states the class admitted to and the period (dates or session) the student studied at the school, explicitly certifies their conduct and moral character (for example "excellent" or "very good") during that period, notes the reason for leaving, and is closed with the serial number, the place and date of issue, the principal’s signature and the school seal. The example above shows this exact layout.
Is a character certificate the same as a conduct certificate?
Yes — in Indian schools and colleges the terms are used interchangeably. Both certify a student’s behaviour and moral character during their period of study; "conduct certificate" emphasises behaviour and "character certificate" emphasises moral character. The fields are the same, and this tool produces a layout that works for either.
What is a character certificate used for?
Students most often need it for admission to a college or university, for job applications, and for visa or scholarship forms — anywhere the receiving institution wants the previous school’s assessment of the student’s conduct and character.
Is the certificate made with this tool official or legally valid?
No. This is a free drafting and printing tool. A valid character / conduct certificate must be issued by the school, carry the principal’s authorised signature and the official school seal, and reflect the school’s own assessment of the student. Use this tool to prepare and print it, then get it signed and stamped by the school.
Is this character certificate generator really free?
Yes. You can create and download documents for free, with no sign-up or watermark.
Can I add my school logo to the certificate?
Yes. You can add your school name, address and your own logo, the serial number, the principal signature and the school-seal area. No board logos or government emblems are added, since those are reserved for official documents.
What should the conduct line say?
Use an honest, specific assessment of the student’s behaviour during their time at the school — common wordings are "excellent", "very good" or "good". The certificate should reflect the school’s genuine record, since the receiving institution relies on it.
