Will name difference in certificates cause issue during UPSC DV?

My name is XYZ in my Xth certificate, but in all other educational certificates and government IDs, including my birth certificate, it is XY. Will this create a problem in the UPSC document verification (DV)? What should I do?

Sir, to resolve the name discrepancy between your Xth certificate and other documents, you can prepare an affidavit stating that both names refer to the same person. If necessary, you can also publish a name correction in the Official Gazette. Additionally, try requesting the educational board to amend the name on the Xth certificate. Consulting a legal professional can help guide you through the process, ensuring smooth document verification with UPSC. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
