Hello Manish,

Yes, you can use a gazette notification to correct the spelling mismatch in your name and your father’s name for NEET and other official purposes.

Steps to Correct Name via Gazette Notification:

  1. Affidavit:

    • Prepare an affidavit mentioning the correct and incorrect spellings of your and your father’s name.

    • Get it notarized by a notary public.

  2. Newspaper Advertisement:

    • Publish a name change notice in two newspapers (one local and one national).

  3. Gazette Notification:

    • Apply for a name change in the State or Central Gazette (depending on your location).

    • Submit necessary documents like an affidavit, newspaper copies, and identity proof.

  4. Updating Documents:

    • Once your name is published in the Gazette, update your Aadhar, PAN, voter ID, and other documents to match your educational certificates.

  5. Use Gazette for NEET:

    • At the time of NEET application and counseling , submit the Gazette Notification as proof of the corrected name.

Since NEET follows strict verification, it's better to complete this process before filling out the application to avoid complications later.
