studying in Class XI under CBSE board and I want to change my surname


11-Sep-2023 (In Documentation Law)
I am studying in Class XI under the CBSE board and I want to change my surname. I want it to be done quickly as I want the new name in my Class XII's board certificates. What is the process for it? I've read that CBSE's new rules require students to get a approval from the court about the name change. Is it necessary in this case?

You need to file an affidavit in court ,post which you need to publish the change of name in minimum 2 dailies, to notify the general public.

After that you may apply with the school board that a change of name be made.

Do let me know if you need any help with this.
