Hello,

A minor spelling mistake in your father's name on the GATE 2025 scorecard is usually not a major issue, and colleges generally do not reject applications solely for this reason. However, to avoid any complications, you should be ready with an affidavit stating the correct name.

When and How to Show the Affidavit :-

• If the institute specifically asks for a correction, they might request the affidavit during document verification.

• Some colleges may ask you to upload it during the online application process.

• If there is no option to upload it, carry the affidavit and other supporting documents during the physical verification process.

• You can also email the concerned authority of the respective institute if required.

What to Mention in the Affidavit :-

• A statement that both names belong to the same person (your father).

• Your correct details and the GATE 2025 scorecard reference.

• Signature and attestation from a notary or gazetted officer .

Also, you will be eligible for IITs and NITs as long as all other details are correct. This minor mistake should not lead to rejection if you provide proper clarification during document verification.

Hope it helps !
