Hello,

Yes, you can register and write the JEE Main exam using your Aadhar name (without initials) even if your school marksheet has your name with initials. However, this mismatch between your Aadhar name and school records can lead to some verification issues, so it’s important to handle it carefully.

Here’s what you should consider and can do to resolve it:

Use Aadhar Name Consistently in JEE Main Application
Use the name exactly as it appears on your Aadhar card for the JEE Main application form . This ensures that your identity matches the government-issued ID, which is usually a requirement for exam purposes.

Provide Supporting Documentation
When you attend the exam or during counseling, you may be required to present both your Aadhar card and marksheet. Be prepared with additional supporting documents like your school’s bonafide certificate, a notarized affidavit, or any document showing both versions of your name, if needed.

Create an Affidavit for Name Clarification (Optional but Recommended)
To avoid any issues during verification or counseling, you may consider creating an affidavit that states both versions of your name refer to the same person. This affidavit can be notarized and will act as a legal statement confirming that both names are yours.

Contact JEE Main Helpdesk for Confirmation
If you're still unsure, contact the JEE Main helpdesk to explain your situation. They often encounter similar issues and can guide you on the documentation needed or any additional steps.

For Future Documents, Ensure Name Consistency
It’s advisable to update either your Aadhar or your educational documents for consistency in the future, especially for official purposes.

Hope it helps !

Yes you can write JEE mains although you have wrong names written on aadhar card and marksheet.but remember at the time of document verification you need to get affidavit for submitting mismatch names which is not accepted by authority as it might hamper the exam fairness.

You also need to correct aadhar card name by presenting relevant documents to proof your claim and get your adhar card corrected as it needs in every exam.
