Having different surnames on your 10th marksheet and NEET scorecard can cause issues during medical college admissions, as consistency in documents is crucial. Here’s how to address this:
-
Possible Issues :
- Verification Problems : Medical colleges and admission authorities require all documents to match. Discrepancies in surnames may lead to complications during verification, potentially delaying or affecting your admission process.
-
Steps to Rectify :
-
Obtain a Name Change Affidavit : If the surname difference is due to a legal change or clerical error, you can get a notarized affidavit stating the reason for the discrepancy. This affidavit should explain the situation and affirm that both surnames refer to the same individual.
-
Request Document Correction : Contact the respective boards or authorities that issued your marksheets and NEET scorecard. Request a correction by providing appropriate documents (like a birth certificate, affidavit, or any legal document that clarifies the discrepancy).
Supporting Documents : Keep documents like your Aadhaar card, passport, or other identification that show consistent details across all records.
Communicate with College :
- Inform the College : When you apply to medical colleges, inform them about the discrepancy and provide all necessary documents and affidavits to clarify the issue.
Ensuring consistency across all your documents before applying for admissions will help prevent potential issues and facilitate a smoother admission process.
