Hello there,

Yes, you may need to correct the name in either Aadhaar or your 10th marksheet to ensure consistency. Different institutions have different rules, but here’s what you should do:

1. Is Name Order a Problem?

  • If your name order is "First Name Last Name" in Aadhaar and "Last Name First Name" in your 10th marksheet, some colleges and exams (like NEET, JEE, and government jobs) may ask for correction .

  • If both names are identical but in different order , some institutions may accept an affidavit declaring that both names belong to you.

    2. Where Should You Change It?

  • If Aadhaar is incorrect , you can update it online (UIDAI portal) or visit an Aadhaar center with supporting documents (like your marksheet or PAN card).

  • If 10th marksheet is incorrect , changing it is more difficult as board rules are stricter. You will need to contact your board (CBSE, ICSE, or State Board).

    3. What Should You Do?

1. If the difference is minor (just order), check if an affidavit + gazette notification is enough for your application.

2. If a correction is required, updating Aadhaar is easier than changing a marksheet.

3.Ensure your name matches in Aadhaar, PAN, passport, and future documents to avoid issues in job applications and government exams.

Hello,

Yes, you may need to change your Aadhaar details to match your 10th marksheet, especially if you are applying for official documents like a passport, PAN card, or government exams. Here’s why:

  1. Document Consistency – Having different name formats in official documents can create verification issues.
  2. Government ID Matching – Aadhaar is linked to many services, so it should match other key documents.
  3. Future Problems – Name mismatches may cause issues in education, jobs, and bank accounts.

You can update your Aadhaar online or by visiting an Aadhaar Enrollment Center.

Hope it helps !
