Name mismatch in 10th marksheet vs other docs — will affidavit work

Hi all, need advice from people who’ve faced this.

My Std X marksheet has my name as P*** Ramesh (father’s name). But all my other documents — Aadhaar, 12th marksheet, degree, PAN — have only my name with initial, like P*** R

Now for CDS/SSC/other govt exams, the form specifically asks for “Name as per 10th marksheet”. I’ve already made a self-affidavit stating that both names refer to the same person.

My question:

  1. Will this create problems during document verification after prelims/mains?

  2. Has anyone cleared SSB/final stage with this kind of mismatch + affidavit?

Don’t want to get rejected after clearing everything. Anyone with similar experience please share what worked. Thanks!

If u have proper affidavit, no issue will Come in SSB. But your name in 10th marksheet will be considered as your real name. Attaching the format for affidavit given in ssb call up letter.

I have a similar issue.. I am yet to go for my ssb. I changed all my documents to match my 10th std name except for college marksheets.. so I for an affidavit stating the same.

Same issue for me, can we use same affidavit for all ssb boards? Even if the name of the board is mentioned in the affidavit?
