Hello,

Yes, the discrepancy in your father's name across different documents might cause issues during admission through JoSAA or while appearing for JEE Mains and Advanced. Admission authorities typically require consistency in names across all documents to avoid any identity verification problems.

Potential Problems:

1. Verification Issues: During the document verification process, any mismatch in names might raise questions and could delay or complicate your admission process.

2. Rejection of Application: In some cases, applications may be rejected due to inconsistencies in personal information.

Solutions:

1. Get a Name Correction:

- For Marksheets: You can apply for a correction of your father's name in your Class 10th and 12th marksheets. This usually involves submitting an application to the respective education board along with supporting documents like a birth certificate or Aadhaar card.

- For Aadhaar Card: If possible, you might also consider updating your father's name on your Aadhaar card to match the other documents.

2. Affidavit:

- You can create an affidavit stating that both names refer to the same person. This affidavit can be used during the document verification process to explain the discrepancy.

3. Gazette Notification:

- If the name discrepancy is significant and you wish to legally change it, you can have the correct name published in the government gazette. However, this is more commonly done for personal name changes rather than parental names.

4. Ask Admission Authorities:

- It’s also a good idea to contact the admission authorities (JoSAA or the respective exam body) and explain the situation. They can provide specific guidance on how to handle the discrepancy.

Immediate Steps:

1. Apply for corrections if time permits, as this will permanently resolve the issue.

2. Prepare an affidavit to have a backup plan for the document verification process during admissions.

By addressing this issue proactively, you can prevent any potential problems during your admissions process.

Hope it helps!
