Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has circulated an order that the change of name/surname of candidates will be done only if the change has been granted by a court of law and notified in the government gazette before the publication of the results of the candidate. This decision has put thousands of students and parents in a spot. The order was issued on February 16 and said that no correction in date of birth shall be made after one year of the date of issue of the qualifying certificates. Also, all applications for correction in date of birth will have to be submitted to the CBSE chairman. The changes in name/surname or date of birth could be done by affidavit followed by an advertisement in newspapers.
