No there will not be any problem.
Get an affidavit that name of both the person is same.
For changing name in educational certificates you will have to obtain an order from the court.

1) If you have full name of certificate from university.
2) There should not be any issue if you have government gazette published certificate.

Yes you must inform the same to your institution.
At times we have seen that few foreign countries do not recognise the gazette notification
Regards
1) what is your name on passport?
2) And what is required by the educational institutions, where you're going to take admission. Please talk with registered of the institution.
Indian gazette notification may not be recognized in other countries as they may not be aware of the law of the land.
Make changes from now on to reflect your surname.
Check the name in passport. If your surname is added in passport then there is no problem in further studies abroad. There would be no problem in applying for higher studies in foreign universities. You can use the gazette publication for your future references.
1. You do not have to incorporate surname in the educational certificates which were issued prior to the adoption of the surname, neither will it be allowed. A prospective adoption of surname does not give you the right to incorporate the surname in the educational certificates retrospectively.
2. However, incorporate your surname in the documents of identity i.e adhaar, PAN Card and Driving License.
There will be no problem, since you have already added your surname after your name through a valid legal procedure.
Henceforth, you can use your full name in all the application forms, etc.
you need to have same surname in all your certificate. there is no problem in higher studies. many people are changing their surname.
You cannot add or cahnge the name in the educational certificates even though you got your name changed through gazette publication.
You can proceed with the new name for all future events by keeping a copy of this gazette publication with the educational certificates which bear the old name
will my Indian Gazette notification is valid in other countries? If any discrepancies in the name in future, only Gazette notification is sufficient?
The Gazette publication is published by government for all practical purposes to make it a valid legal document, hence, if the other educational certificates are valid,, then this publication by the government is also a valid document.
I work for Government institute, should I inform same with gazette notification to head of the institute for inclusion of surname?
You have to apply for change of name in your employment or service records attaching the copy of the gazette publication.
