Name on a Degree / University Certificate: Changes

Why the degree name matters

Your degree and university mark sheets carry your name into employment verification, professional registration and study abroad. When the degree name differs from your Aadhaar or passport, it can hold up a job offer, a visa or an admission.

Correction vs name change

A university correction process handles genuine errors on its own records. A deliberate name change — after marriage or by choice — usually needs recognised proof such as a Gujarat Gazette, which you then use with the university and other authorities.

Common issues

• An expanded or abbreviated initial that differs from the passport.
• A married name on some records but the maiden name on the degree.
• A spelling difference between the degree and Aadhaar.

How we help

We help establish one consistent name and prepare the proof to support the university and passport updates. See our spelling correction and passport name change services. The university decides its own record correction under its rules.
