    The request for updation is in progress and as per discussion with Aadhar help line it may take max of 90 Days.

    I worry is ,if updating of Addhar Card is not completed within time ( i.e. before 1 Jan 2017) my ward may lose the chance to appear in JEE Main 2017.

    Any advice / suggestion to fill JEE Main 2017 are welcome.

  35. kartik says:

    Sir,

    I took aadhaar card of my daughter long back two yrs ago.
    As they asked for full name so the initial was expanded and her name in aadhaar was printed as ‘SELVI KARTHIKESHWAR’ which is correct without any discrepency in the name.
    In CBSE school records her name since 10th has been ‘SELVI K’ which is also correct without any discrepency in the name except that the last name is written as initial instead of expanded last name.
    I tried to apply for jeemains on its website and it goes through with the aadhaar expanded last name ie ‘SELVI KARTHIKESHWAR’ whereas it does not accept ‘SELVI K’.
    In the above context can I proceed with the adhaar card expanded lastname inspite of the name in school record as ‘SELVI K’?
