Hello Shivani,

Yes, it can cause issues during NEET counseling and document verification. Here’s why:

• Name Mismatch: A discrepancy in your name (Shivani Kumari vs. Shivani) can lead to rejection or delays during document verification.
• Verification Problem: Authorities may find it difficult to verify that all documents belong to the same person.
• Legal Requirement: Consistent names across all documents are mandatory for admission procedures.
• Solution: To resolve this, you can apply for a name correction in either your 12th marksheet or other documents, or get an affidavit stating both names refer to the same person.
• Proof: A notarized affidavit and publication in a newspaper can help validate the name.

Hope it helps !
