Greetings,

Changing of name is not advisable when you apply for service. I recuse from advising further without knowing the reason behind your belief of changing your name. It is however possible to give notarized statement with Govt of India for every application you make to apply for Service

Choosing a name for yourself is your constitutional right. However, for the purpose of changing your name in the school certificates etc., you have to first execute an Affidavit before a Learned Magistrate, 1st Class. Thereafter, get you change of name published in the Kolkata Gazette by way of notification. Thereafter, you can apply for change of your name in your school certificates.
