My Name Is Nancy But My 12th Marksheet Says Nacny. Can I Still Get Admission in Delhi University?

Ans: Hi Kamal,
Greetings!
Yes.
I want to address an important aspect of the admission process. It is crucial to ensure that the candidate's name is consistent across all documents to avoid unnecessary confusion during admission.

As you noted, there are no issues with the birth certificate and the SSLC/10th mark sheet, as both documents display the same name. However, I understand that the Aadhaar card includes the father's name, which differs from the other two records. It would be advisable to update the Aadhaar card to reflect the correct name. This adjustment will help prevent complications in the future.

I would like to share my own experience on this matter. In my case, while my name and initial are consistent across all records, there was a discrepancy where my initial appeared before the name in one document and after the name in another. This inconsistency was not accepted by the government agency. Consequently, I had to apply for a name change to align all records.

Based on my experience, I suggest you apply for a name change on the Aadhaar card, as you already have supporting documents like the birth certificate and 10th class mark sheet. If you feel that you need further assistance, please consider consulting a notary public nearby.

Lastly, please don’t delay this process, as it could hinder your registration on the NTA website.

with regards.

Ans: Hi Meraj,
YES, YOU CAN FILL.
Here are the requirements for filling out the application form:

According to the NEET 2025 guidelines, you need to have the following information ready to complete the Online Application Form:

- Full names of Father, Mother, and Candidate (with correct spellings)
- Class 12 Admit Card with Photograph
- Election Card (EPIC Number)
- Passport Number
- Aadhaar Card
- Ration Card Number
- Bank Account Number
- Other valid Government Identity Card Number
- Date of Birth
- Address
- Mobile Number
- Email ID

Indian nationals from all states must attach one of the following documents: Class 12 Admit Card, Aadhaar Card, Election Card (EPIC Number), Ration Card, Bank Account Passbook with Photograph, Passport Number, or any other photo identity card issued by the government.

It is advisable to use a Passport ID or a Ration Card ID instead of the Aadhaar.

Let me know if you need any further assistance!

Ans: Hello Mahak
Your CUET-UG application will not be rejected just because of the difference in "Kumari" in your Aadhaar and 10th marksheet. Minor name variations are usually acceptable as long as your other details (like date of birth, parents' names, etc.) match.

Since you have already applied for an Aadhaar update, here’s what you should do next:

Keep a copy of the Aadhaar update request slip as proof.

Check the CUET correction window (if available) and update your details to match your 10th marksheet if possible.

During counseling or document verification, carry supporting documents like:

Your 10th marksheet (as primary proof of name)

The updated Aadhaar (if received by then)

Any affidavit (if required, stating both names refer to the same person)

Since "Kumari" is often considered a middle name/title rather than a major name discrepancy, this should not cause rejection. Just ensure consistency across documents before counseling.

Ans: Hi,
The 10th marks sheet is also a government
No need to worry since your dad is not going to write the exam. So don’t panic. Prepare for the exam.
All the best.
