I am just beginning the process of preparing applications for graduate schools. I understand we have to submit an official transcripts from undergraduate institutions. What about high schools? Do they accept photocopy of high school marksheet.

If someone can answer this, I will be very thankful.
Thanks,
Nikhil

High school transcripts (or mark sheets) are not mandatory documents. But, I would recommend you to send them along with other college application documents.

For High School transcripts, you can make photocopies of the original document and get it attested (notarized). That’s sufficient and you don’t have to make it official by getting signed from registrar.
Dont forget to include the following documents too

photocopy of GRE and TOEFL score report
copy of passport front page (that has your personal details)
