Hello Aspirant,

Yes, a DOB mistake on your 11th marksheet could create a problem for admission in Rajasthan, as colleges typically require consistent information across all documents.

However, since your DOB is correct in all other documents (like 10th marksheet, Aadhaar, etc.), an affidavit would likely be enough to explain the discrepancy.

You should get a notarized affidavit clearly stating your correct DOB and explaining the error in the 11th marksheet. Submit this affidavit along with your other documents during the admission process. This shows the college you're being honest and have proper proof of your actual DOB

If there is a date of birth (DOB) mistake in your Class 11 marksheet, but all other documents (Class 10, Aadhaar, birth certificate, etc.) have the correct DOB, here is what usually happens during Rajasthan state admissions:

  1. Primary proof of DOB is Class 10 certificate.
    For most counselling processes (including medical, engineering, and other UG courses), the Class 10 marksheet or certificate is treated as the official and final proof of DOB.

  2. Class 11 marksheet is not usually used for DOB verification.
    It may be required for eligibility proof (e.g., subjects studied), but not for confirming your date of birth. So, one mistake in DOB on the Class 11 marksheet will usually not create a problem, as long as all other documents — especially Class 10 — have the correct DOB.

  3. However, mismatched documents can raise queries.
    At the time of document verification, if officials notice the error, they might ask you to justify the inconsistency. In such cases, submitting an affidavit stating that the DOB on the Class 11 marksheet is incorrect and that your correct DOB is as per Class 10/Aadhaar usually resolves the issue.

  4. What kind of affidavit you need:
    A notarized affidavit on 10 or 20 stamp paper, declaring:

    • Your name

    • The incorrect DOB on the Class 11 marksheet

    • The correct DOB as per all other valid documents

    • That both refer to the same individual (you)

  5. This affidavit should be signed by you and a notary public.

  6. Correction option:
    If possible, also request your school or college to issue a letter or certificate stating that the DOB on the Class 11 marksheet is a clerical error. This helps support your affidavit.
