Hello Shikha
If your name on Aadhar card is Shikha and in the call letter it is Shikha Shikha, then you may face problems during document verification.
So it is advisable to carry an affidavit stating that "Shikha Shikha" and "Shikha" are the same person which is you. As this step can help you avoid any unnecessary difficulty during document verification.
Thank You!!!
Hello Hari
If your name's spelling is correct and only the order of first name and last name is swapped, ou usually don't need an affidavit for minor changes.
However, it is recommended to carry your Aadhar card, call letter and one more valid identity proof. But if you are still concerned, you can carry a simple affidavit for the same.
Thank You!!!
