You are not required to have the Std. 10 exam certificate (not sure about 12th). I did my 10th in the US and got a certificate from IAU (Indian Association of Universities) that stated by 10th education in the US was equivalent to the 10th standard exam. I haven't faced any issues in getting admission to undergrad or post grad courses in India because of this. I am assuming a school could just get a blanket certification for all their students if their system differs from the standard syllabi. I should mention that competing with other students on the entrance exams of course is a different matter. I somehow managed because I went through 11th and 12th in India and the standard crash course for engineering entrance exams. Kiran
