Change of name
dear sir, i am a post graduate medical student my name in class 10th certificate is VINAY KUMAR MISHRA but it changed to VINAY MISHRA from 12th class & the same name (VINAY MISHRA) appears on my MBBS degree and registration ( I dont know what the university did), my identity proof documents contain the name as on my 10th certificate as it is the basis for their issue.

Hi, you can request your college to change the name on the basis of class 10th otherwise you have to file a suit for deceleration.
what were you doing for so many years ? you ought to have made application to change name in xii std ceritficate within reasonable period of time . now HSC Board wont change the name unless you obtain court orders to that effect
CBSE Rules for Change and Correction in Name or Date of Birth
RULE 69.1 CHANGES IN BOARD’S CERTIFICATE – CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS IN NAME
AMENDED RULE 69.1(ii): Application for correction in name/surname will be considered only within two years of the date of declaration of result provided the application
of the candidate is forwarded with the following documents:
(a) Admission form(s) filled in by the parents at the time of admission
(b) The School Leaving Certificate of the previous school submitted by the parents of the candidate at the time of admission.
(c) Portion of the page of admission and withdrawal register of the school where the entry has been made in respect of the candidate.
The rules have been culled out for your reference by ld.Mr.Sethi.
You will need a court order to change your name now as you are well past the period within which you ought to have initiated the process for changing your name.
