Can state boards (like PSEB, HBSE, UP Board, RBSE) also accept the Central Gazette?

Yes. State education boards accept a Central Gazette Notification as valid proof for name correction. Some state boards also accept a State Gazette; the Central Gazette is preferred because it also works for every other institution (university, employer, PAN, passport).

Can I change my name on 10th / 12th marksheet after passing?

Yes, but only with a Gazette. CBSE, ICSE (CISCE), and all state education boards mandate a Central Gazette Notification as the legal proof for correcting your name on post-result DMCs. Whether you are correcting a spelling error or making a complete name change, the board will reject your application without a published Gazette.

FAQ

Marksheet Correction Questions Answered

Can I change my name on my 10th or 12th marksheet after passing? +

Yes. CBSE, ICSE, and state boards strictly mandate a Central Gazette Notification as the legal proof for any post-result name correction on the DMC/marksheet.

Is a Gazette Notification mandatory to change name on CBSE marksheet? +

Yes, absolutely. CBSE requires a Central Gazette Notification as the mandatory primary supporting document for all name changes, regardless of whether it is a material change or spelling correction.

How do I change my name on ICSE / ISC marksheet? +

CISCE processes corrections through the school. Submit an application through your original school with a Central Gazette, affidavit, and current identity documents. The school forwards to CISCE, which issues an updated marksheet.

Can state boards (PSEB, HBSE, UP Board, RBSE) also accept the Central Gazette? +

Yes. State boards accept a Central Gazette Notification as valid proof. Some also accept a State Gazette; Central is preferred because it works for every other institution too.

How long does the CBSE / ICSE / state board name correction take? +

After the Gazette is published (4–6 weeks), the board's own correction process typically takes 30 to 90 days. Timelines vary by board and by whether you are correcting a pre-result registration or a post-result marksheet.

Can I get a duplicate marksheet with the new name? +

Yes. Once the board approves the correction, they issue a corrected DMC or a certificate of correction. Original marksheet + correction certificate is what universities and employers verify.

What about university degree, diploma, and migration certificates? +

Universities accept a Central Gazette for corrections on degrees, diplomas, transcripts, and migration certificates. Submit Gazette + affidavit + application to your alma mater's Controller of Examinations.

Does the school update records automatically after the Gazette? +

No. Submit the Gazette copy with a formal request to the school principal. The school updates its records and (for ICSE/CBSE) forwards a corresponding request to the board. Two-step: school first, then board.

Can I do the name change while I am currently in Class 10 or 12? +

Yes, and it is easier at this stage. Publish the Gazette, submit to your school before board registration finalises, and the corrected name appears on the board's registration itself — no post-result correction application needed.

Is the same Gazette valid for both 10th and 12th marksheets? +

Yes. A single Central Gazette serves as name-change proof for every educational record — 10th DMC, 12th DMC, degree, diploma, migration certificate, and transcripts. One Gazette, unlimited use.
