Have a question related to SSC CGL ?
If your 10th marksheet has the correct date of birth but your Aadhar Card and father's surname have mistakes , SSC CGL may face issues during document verification . SSC CGL considers the 10th marksheet as valid proof for Date of Birth , but all documents must match.
Aditi Choudhary 23 July,2025
Hello Vikas,
Yes, you can definitely apply for SSC CGL with the name as mentioned in your ID cards, but you need to ensure that all are the same across documents prior to the document verification stage. The name discrepancy may not lead to the cancellation of your application, but it can mean trouble during the document verification stage, if it does not match your 10th/matriculation certificate (which is often used as primary proof of name and DOB).
What to do:
- Apply with the name according to your ID cards (as you only have 1 day remaining).
- Initiate the process of correcting the name on either your ID documents (Aadhar, PAN, etc.) to the match the matric certificate or apply for a legal name change and publish in gazette (if you want to keep the name in ID cards).
- You should also get supporting documents like affidavit and gazette publication ready by the time of document verification.

Hello Aspirant,
Yes, B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) is considered as a Graduation (Bachelor’s Degree) for SSC CGL and all other government exams.
In the SSC CGL application form, you should select the option “Graduation” (or Bachelor’s Degree if given).
All the best for your SSC CGL preparation.
Sonakshi Kumari 24 June,2025
Hello Aspirant,
No, there won’t be any problem during SSC CGL document verification if you have:
Consolidated Marksheet (showing all semester-wise subjects and marks)
Provisional Degree Certificate
These are accepted for verification, especially if your final degree certificate is yet to be issued by IGNOU. Many universities, including IGNOU, issue provisional certificates until the original degree is awarded at convocation.
All the best for your SSC CGL journey.
