Minor discrepancy in Caste Certificate
Hello
My father's name is Narinder Kumar and is mentioned in my UPSC application as well as my class 10th certificate but the caste certificate wrongly mentioned it as Narender Kumar. I faced a problem during my college admissions but they asked me to submit an affidavit which resolved the issue.Now I have my UPSC personality test and the instructions are as follows.
(II) Educational Qualification: The candidate must show the original Degree(s) in support of his
educational qualification(s) at the time of PT Board. In case original degree is not yet issued by the
University or is otherwise not available, he/she is required to produce provisional certificates and/or
Mark-sheets in support of his claim at the time of PT Board and/ or other certificates. Candidate with
MBBS Degree would be required to produce original Internship Completion Certificate also.
If a candidate is having a Degree from a foreign University, an equivalent certificate issued by
Association of Indian Universities/ National Board of Examination(for MBBS) is required to be
produced.
(III) In case there is discrepancy between the name as recorded in the Matriculation Certificate and as
entered in Degree and/or PG Degree, Internship Completion Certificate and/or other certificates (except
caste certificate), the following steps must be taken:-
(a) In case of minor discrepancy in the name of the candidate (or his/her father) due to a spelling error,
{e.g. (Mohan and Mohun) or (R. Mathur and Ramesh Mathur)}, an affidavit in original may be produced
at the time of PT Board to the effect that both the names belong to the same person.
(b) In case of a major discrepancy related to the addition or deletion of part/parts of any name, {e.g.
(Ram Kumar and Ram Kumar Singh) or (Ajay Kumar and Ajay Kumar Singh Rana)}, a Gazette
notification may be produced at the time of PT Board to the effect that the person has changed his name
henceforth.
(c) In case of certificates issued by the State of Maharashtra, the name of the candidate is sometimes
inclusive of the name of the father and/or the name of the mother. In such cases, an affidavit may be
produced at the time of PT Board to the effect that the names on both certificates belong to the same
person.
IV) Caste/Tribe Certificates: candidates claiming to be SC/ST/OBCs must ensure the following
conditions;
(a) The name of the candidate and his/her father in the certificates should be strictly as recorded in the
Matriculation or equivalent Certificate.
what shall I do?
