How to Correct Father’s Name in CBSE 10th Marksheet Online

Online correction of father name in CBSE 10th marksheet can seem like a “normal” task. But if you do not follow the right process and move forward, it can turn into a “major” issue for the rest of your life.

Let’s say you are ready to apply for a passport, or a government exam, or take admission in a college. To your surprise, you get rejected because your father name on your 10th certificate does not match the other documents.

This blog post will walk you through all the correct steps and process for father name correction, while showing how Nerodocs helps you with the process and saves your time.

Let's consider a real-life example.

👉 Priya a student from Delhi, had just been selected for an international scholarship. When her documents were submitted for verification, the officers raised an issue that her father's name is spelled incorrectly in the 10th marksheet —— "Rajender" instead of "Rajendra." Though it was an insignificant spelling mistake, her documents were rejected.

She was given 10 days to submit the updated marksheet. In total panic, Priya went from the CBSE office to numerous agents. She filled out incorrect forms, spent money, and was still unable to complete the paperwork on time. In the end, she lost a golden opportunity.

One small mistake caused a big loss.

Here are some scenarios where there is a need for the correct father's name:

1. Admission in Colleges and Universities
   
    
2. Applying for a Passport
   
    
3. Government Jobs and Exams
   
    
4. Visa and Immigration Process
   
    
5. Scholarships and Financial Aid
   
    
6. Loan Applications
   
    
7. Legal Issues
   
    

When there is a discrepancy in the name in your 10th marksheet and it has not been amended correctly, any legal processes you choose to go down become risky. You may end up submitting affidavits, trying to make an explanation for a discrepancy, and creating unnecessary delay.

Now let us check the process step by step:

Step 1: Know the rules

CBSE accepts changes to name if you have applied within 5 years of the result date.
If you have exceeded this time frame, you may still get corrected, but the process would have additional requirements like court affidavits.

Step 2: The Necessary Documents

Before applying for online correction on CBSE marksheet, arrange these:

1. Application for name correction
   
    
2. Copy of your old marksheet
   
    
3. Birth Certificate (issued by the Government)
   
    
4. School Leaving Certificate
   
    
5. Aadhar Card or Identity Proof of father
   
    
6. Affidavit (if applicable)
   
    
7. Marksheet name correction pdf (if you are applying offline - this is optional)

3. Carefully fill in the online form:
   
    

• Tick 10th or 12th board
  
   
• Enter roll number, year of passing, and other details of the student's particulars
  
   
• Share the incorrect father's name and the correct version.
  
   

1. Upload the necessary documents
   
    
2. Pay the prescribed fee (make sure you pay by online mode)
   
    
3. Submit the application
   
    

You will be given a reference number. You may track your application online.

Good question.

The process for 12th marksheet name correction is similar to the 10th.
If you are seeing errors on both certificates, you may apply together, designating both classes (X and XII) on the application.

Some students or parents want to apply in Hindi because they prefer the Hindi-language or for legal affidavit reasons.
Students need plain simple Hindi language formats that meet CBSE guidelines.

This is an example line you could use:

"मैं (आपका नाम), पिता/अभिभावक (पिता का सही नाम) के रूप में कक्षा 10वीं के अंकपत्र में हुई त्रुटियों को सुधारने के लिए आवेदन प्रस्तुत कर रहा/रही हूँ। कृपया मेरे पिता के नाम में सुधार करने की कृपा करें।"

3. Type of error (Spelling error, Initial missing, Wrong middle name, etc)
