"The certificates issued by Madrasa Boards which have been granted equivalence by the State Education Boards to that of their Secondary and Senior Secondary qualifications, have also been equated with corresponding certificates of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council of Board of School Education in India (COBSE) and other School Examination Boards, for the purpose of employment and entry to higher level education", Minister of State for Minority Affairs Vincent H. Pala said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

"Consequential notification in this regard is issued by the Central Government in the Department of Personnel & Training (DOP&T) on 23.02.2010", he added.

Pala also informed the House that Government had appointed a High Level Committee to prepare a report on the social, economic and educational upliftment of the Muslim community of India in 2005 under Justice Rajinder Sachar which submitted its report in 2006.
