Hello,

A name mistake in your Aadhaar card can cause problems in UPSC exams. Here’s why:

1. Identity Verification – During document verification, if your Aadhaar name does not match other documents, it may raise issues.
2. Mismatch with Application – If your UPSC application name differs from Aadhaar, it may create confusion.
3. Exam Center Entry – Some centers require Aadhaar for identity proof; a mismatch could cause trouble.
4. Final Selection – Discrepancies in official documents may lead to rejection.

You should correct the name on Aadhaar through UIDAI before document verification.

Hope it helps !

A name mistake on your Aadhar card can be problematic for your UPSC application, but it's not a deal-breaker. However do visit an Aadhar Enrollment Center with the necessary documents to get your name corrected, because it might be taken as if you are trying to fraud, and also reach out to the authorities.
