Please help guys 😭 i always messed up
I messed up my name while filling NIOS details (no surname / incomplete naming structure), and now I’m stuck figuring out the actual correction process.
Here’s what I found after digging through the system:
NIOS allows corrections under “Basic Details Correction”, but the categories are split and slightly confusing:
Name Change: ₹400
Name Correction: ₹400
Father’s Name Correction: ₹400
Mother’s Name Correction: ₹400
Guardian Name Correction: ₹100–₹200
DOB Correction: ₹400
Problem:
There’s no clear distinction between Name Change vs Name Correction. For people like me who simply didn’t enter surname/middle name properly, it’s unclear which one applies.
What I need clarity on:
Which option applies if the name is incomplete (not legal change)?
Exact documents required (Aadhaar, affidavit, etc.?)
Deadline window for correction before exams/admit card finalization
Whether admission card will update automatically after correction or needs reissue
