Obtain the application form for correction from the Board’s website or obtain it from the school you attended. Prepare supporting documents such as your passport and an affidavit stating the correct name and the mistake made in the 12th marksheet. Submit the application along with supporting documents and required fee for name correction It may take a few weeks to a couple of months for the correction to be processed.
To correct your name in your degree certificate, write an application to the Controller of Examinations or the Registrar of the university where you studied, requesting the correction of your name in the provisional and degree certificates. Attach supporting documents such as passport and an affidavit stating the correct name and the mistake made in the provisional and degree certificates. Submit the application along with the supporting documents either in person or by post to the university’s examination branch with the requisite fees. Once you receive the corrected copies of your certificates review them. Should you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you make an affidavit from a first class Magistrate and then make a newspaper publication then it should take care of the anomaly in spelling of your name.Â
It will not be possible to correct the spelling or name in the school certificates at this stage.
However you can adopt change of name procedure by giving an affidavit stating that both the names are one and the same, duly notarised and published in the local newspaper as well as in the government gazette, which will solver the problem in case you find any difficulty in this regard in future
- As per law, you cannot change or correct the name as mentioned in the academic certificate after two years from the date of issuing that certificate.Â
- You should firstly approach the respective schools/college for the same , and if they are ready then you can publish a notification of name change in the GazetteÂ
- If refused, then you can file a petition before the Court for getting an orderÂ
