Ans: Anshu, You should not face significant issues during JoSAA Counselling, but minor problems may arise when reporting to your allotted college. Before that, ensure that your name on your mark sheet matches the name on your Aadhaar card, as name changes on the birth certificate are not permitted.

Depending on the institute’s policy, you may also be required to submit an affidavit if discrepancies persist. For now, focus entirely on your studies. Additionally, consider having a backup plan—appear for 5-7 other entrance exams instead of relying solely on JEE. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.
