I am applying for the current RRB JE recruitment and made a mistake in my Create Account / Registration Details.

My Matriculation (10th) certificate has my name in this format:

**SURNAME – GIVEN NAME – MIDDLE NAME**

Initially, I entered my name in the normal order. Later, I noticed that the RRB application asks for the **Full Name as recorded in the Matriculation certificate**, so I tried to change it to match the certificate.

Unfortunately, while changing it, I accidentally entered:

**SURNAME – GIVEN NAME – SURNAME**

instead of:

**SURNAME – GIVEN NAME – MIDDLE NAME**

The name is now locked at the registration/account level, and I cannot change it again. The portal gives a warning that the name cannot be changed after modification.

I have not submitted the RRB JE application yet.

This is not a legal name change. It is simply a typing mistake made while trying to enter my name in the same order as my 10th certificate.

I have contacted the RRB helpdesk regarding this issue.

I would like to know from anyone who has faced a similar situation:

1. Can RRB helpdesk reset/correct the Create Account/Registration-level name?

2. Does the RRB modification window allow correction of the Create Account name, or only application details?

3. If RRB does not correct it, is it safe to submit the application and explain the mistake during Document Verification?

4. Would an affidavit explaining the accidental data-entry error be accepted at DV, or is some other procedure required?

5. Has anyone successfully corrected a similar RRB registration name mistake?

I am particularly looking for answers from candidates who have actually faced this issue with RRB, rather than general advice.

Thanks in advance.
