Can I legally change my name before NEET UG and join MBBS with my new name?
Hi everyone,
I have already passed Class 10 and Class 12 from RBSE with one legal name.
Before NEET UG 2027, I am planning to legally change my full name through Affidavit, Newspaper Publication, Gazette Notification and update my Aadhaar.
My question is:
If I fill the NEET application with my new legal name, but my Class 10 and 12 certificates still have my old name, will MCC/State Counselling and the MBBS college accept the Gazette as proof that both names belong to the same person?
Has anyone here personally gone through this situation or knows someone who did?
I'm looking for real experiences rather than guesses.
Thanks!
