Could the name discrepancy in my graduation mark sheet cause problems?

My mother's and father's names are switched in my graduation mark sheet. When I raised this issue with the admissions officer, I was told that the reason for this is that my mother's name was mentioned as the first name on my class X CBSE certificate, and their protocol is to input the father's name first. The officer also mentioned that it won’t be changed now, and there won’t be any issues due to this discrepancy. I would like to know if any problems may arise because of this, considering that my class X, XII certificates and all my other IDs have the correct names.

Discrepancies in the sequence of names on educational documents rarely cause significant issues, provided the actual names match, even if they appear in a different order, and you can explain the variation. However, to ensure complete clarity, it is advisable to obtain a notarized affidavit confirming that both name sequences refer to the same parents. This can be beneficial for future documentation purposes, such as passport applications or employment verification.

In general, name sequence discrepancies between educational documents rarely cause serious issues as long as the actual names match, even if in different order, and you can explain the reason for the variation. However, to be completely safe, you should obtain a notarized affidavit stating that both name sequences refer to the same parents, which can be helpful for future documentation needs like passport applications or employment verification.

Sir, to resolve the issue you may request the university to correct the mark sheet by submitting an application along with supporting documents. If they refuse to do so you may issue an affidavit stating the correct names. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action.
