Hello Aspirant
Yes, entering an incorrect spelling of your name in the JEE Main application form can potentially cause problems during the JOSAA counseling process.
Here's why:
- Verification: JOSAA verifies the information provided in the application form against official documents. If there's a discrepancy between the name on your application and your official documents, it could lead to delays or complications.
- Seat Allotment: Incorrect information might affect the accuracy of your seat allotment. If your name doesn't match the name on your official documents, it could lead to confusion and potential issues in the seat allotment process.
To rectify this issue, you should:
- Contact JOSAA Immediately: Reach out to the JOSAA helpline or visit their official website to report the incorrect spelling of your name.
- Provide Correct Documents: Be prepared to submit the correct spelling of your name from your official documents (like your class 10 or 12 certificate).
