US State Seal of Biliteracy for Hindi
Check your state and school’s requirements for the Seal of Biliteracy in Hindi, including accepted assessments, scores and deadlines.
Can my child earn a State Seal of Biliteracy in Hindi?
Start with the student’s state education department and high school. Ask whether the school offers a pathway for Hindi for your child’s graduation year. The school or district can confirm the English and Hindi requirements, acceptable evidence and deadlines. Avant offers a Hindi STAMP 4S test. Ask the school whether it accepts that specific test before registering.

Parent checklist before registering
- Confirm eligibility. Ask which rules apply to your child’s graduation year, whether their school participates, and how the school verifies English proficiency.
- Confirm the Hindi pathway. Ask which exact assessments, coursework or other evidence the school accepts for Hindi.
- Get the score rule in writing. Ask for the minimum in each skill and whether the school also requires an overall score. Check how it handles retakes or scores from different test dates.
- Work back from the deadline. Ask when to register, when scores must reach the school, and who submits them. Confirm who arranges the test and handles any fee or accommodation request.
- Keep the school’s instructions. Save the accepted test name, required scores, deadlines and the contact for the graduation record.
