Hello aspirant,

You must fill the form of any competitive exam with utmost care because a marginal error may prove very costly in future.

If you have filled father's name wrong then you must try to correct it when the correction window of form open. I suggest you to follow the notifications related to the opening and closing dates of correction window.

Hello Vedant,

If your father’s name is incorrect or different in official documents, follow these steps to correct it:

1. Identify the Issue: Check which documents have discrepancies (school records, ID proofs, application forms, etc.).

2. Gather Proof:

• Obtain correct supporting documents, such as:
  • Birth certificate
  • Aadhaar card
  • Passport
  • Voter ID or other government-issued ID showing the correct father’s name.
    
    3. Apply for Correction:
    
    

• Educational Documents:
  Contact the school/board/university for a name correction application. Submit supporting documents and pay any required fees.
  
  

• Government IDs:
  Apply online or visit local offices for correction in Aadhaar, PAN card, etc.
  
  4. Affidavit & Newspaper Publication (If Necessary): In cases of significant discrepancies, prepare an affidavit and publish a correction notice in newspapers.
  
  5. Keep Records Updated:

Ensure all future applications use the corrected name consistently.

Contact the respective authority as soon as possible if the discrepancy is on an exam application form to avoid disqualification.
