Hello Vikas,

Yes, you can definitely apply for SSC CGL with the name as mentioned in your ID cards, but you need to ensure that all are the same across documents prior to the document verification stage. The name discrepancy may not lead to the cancellation of your application, but it can mean trouble during the document verification stage, if it does not match your 10th/matriculation certificate (which is often used as primary proof of name and DOB).

What to do:

  • Apply with the name according to your ID cards (as you only have 1 day remaining).
  • Initiate the process of correcting the name on either your ID documents (Aadhar, PAN, etc.) to the match the matric certificate or apply for a legal name change and publish in gazette (if you want to keep the name in ID cards).
  • You should also get supporting documents like affidavit and gazette publication ready by the time of document verification.
