What is an Education Affidavit?

An education affidavit is a sworn declaration made by a student, parent, or guardian before a Notary Public, affirming specific facts required by universities, colleges, banks, scholarship bodies, or government portals for academic purposes. These affidavits are executed on non-judicial stamp paper and are legally valid under the Indian Evidence Act and the Notaries Act 1952.

Educational institutions — from UGC-affiliated universities to private colleges — and government bodies such as the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in) regularly require affidavits when standard certificates are unavailable, when personal details differ across documents, or when specific declarations are mandated by regulation (such as the UGC anti-ragging directive).

Education affidavits must be worded precisely to satisfy the requirement of the institution. A gap year affidavit that omits the correct academic year range, or a scholarship affidavit that incorrectly states the income threshold, may be rejected. ClearlyComply drafts each affidavit to the exact format and specifications of the requesting institution.

Note: Anti-ragging affidavits are mandatory under the UGC (Prevention, Prohibition and Punishment of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations 2009. Both the student and their parent/guardian must sign the affidavit before hostel allotment. Non-submission can result in cancellation of admission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an anti-ragging affidavit mandatory every year?
Yes. Under UGC Regulations 2009, an anti-ragging affidavit must be submitted by the student and their parent/guardian at the beginning of every academic year — not just at the time of initial admission. Most universities and colleges require fresh affidavits each year during re-enrollment or hostel allotment. The affidavit is in the prescribed UGC format, declaring that the student will not engage in or abet ragging. Non-submission can result in denial of hostel accommodation or cancellation of registration.
What should a gap year affidavit mention?
A gap year affidavit should state the full name of the student, the period of the gap (from month/year to month/year), the reason for the gap (health, family circumstances, exam preparation, employment, or travel), and a declaration that the student was not enrolled in any other institution during the gap period. For study abroad or visa purposes, the reason for the gap must be consistent with other submitted documents. ClearlyComply drafts the affidavit to match the specific reason and destination authority requirements.
Can I use one affidavit for multiple scholarship applications?
A single notarised affidavit can be used for multiple scholarship applications in the same academic year, provided the content and format are acceptable to all the scholarship bodies. However, some scholarship portals (like the National Scholarship Portal) may require an affidavit in their specific prescribed format. If two different scholarships require different affidavit formats, separate affidavits are needed. We recommend checking each scholarship's requirement before filing.
How is an education loan affidavit different from a guarantor affidavit?
An education loan affidavit is executed by the student and co-applicant (parent/guardian), confirming details of the course, institution, loan amount required, and intended use. It is submitted to the lending bank as part of the loan file. A guarantor affidavit is executed separately by the guarantor (if any), confirming their willingness to guarantee repayment and disclosing their financial position. Banks may require both. ClearlyComply can prepare both documents simultaneously.
Will the affidavit be accepted by foreign universities?
Indian notarised affidavits are generally accepted by foreign universities as supporting documents. However, for official legal use in another country (visa applications, court proceedings, or government submissions), the affidavit may need apostilling by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) under the Hague Apostille Convention. ClearlyComply can advise whether apostilling is required for your specific destination country and purpose, and guide you through the process.
