B.Ed Degree Name Correction in Uttarakhand
For students and holders of the Bachelor of Education degree whose marksheets or degree carry a name that differs from the class 10 certificate or the graduation degree: where the name comes from, how the university corrects it, and why it has to match the eligibility test certificate at recruitment.
A B.Ed degree name correction is asked for through your college, with your class 10 certificate and graduation degree. The university that examined you corrects its record and reissues the marksheet or degree. Do it while you are a student, since each form repeats the name. A slip needs no Gazette.

The Bachelor of Education degree is what qualifies a graduate to teach in secondary schools. It is the last degree most teachers take, and the one every recruiting body looks at first. A B.Ed degree name correction is easy during the course and slow afterwards. This page explains B.Ed degree name correction for students and teachers in Uttarakhand.
We do not deal with colleges or universities. We prepare the Gazette notification, where a name has in fact been changed. How admission is given is from reports of the state's 2026 notification. We could not confirm any university's correction form, fee or time limit. For the diploma course, read D.El.Ed certificate name correction.
What Is the Degree, and Who Awards It?
As reports of the state's 2026 admission notification describe it.
- What it is. A two-year Bachelor of Education degree, taken after graduation.
- Where it is taught. At Government, aided and self-financed colleges affiliated to the state's universities.
- How one gets in. By a state combined entrance test. In 2026 it was notified by the university at Almora, on behalf of itself and the universities at Nainital and in Tehri Garhwal.
- How one applies. Online, on an admission portal, followed by counselling.
- Who awards the degree. The university to which the college is affiliated.
Three bodies handle a student's name: the university that runs the entrance, the college, and the university that examines and awards. The first and the third are sometimes different universities.
Which Papers Does a Student Collect?
| Paper | Issued by | Takes its name from |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance admit card and score | The university conducting the entrance | The online application |
| Allotment letter | The counselling authority | The entrance record |
| Enrolment number and marksheets | The affiliating university | The college's admission record |
| Internship or teaching practice certificate | The college, and the practice school | The college's record |
| The degree | The affiliating university | The same record as the marksheets |
| Teacher eligibility test certificate | The body conducting that test | A separate form, filled by the candidate |
The first five come from one chain. The sixth is typed afresh, often years later, and is the paper most likely to differ from the rest.
Where Does the Name on the Degree Come From?
- The class 10 certificate fixes the name and the date of birth.
- The graduation degree qualifies the candidate. It was issued by a university, in its own version of the name.
- The entrance application is filled online by the candidate, usually at a cyber cafe.
- The allotment is printed from the entrance application.
- The college's admission record is made at reporting, from the allotment and the certificates shown.
- The university's enrolment, marksheets and degree are made from the college's record.
A slip typed in the entrance application can pass through all six steps. The reporting day at the college, when originals are on the table, is the best chance to stop it.
What Kinds of Mismatch Are There?
A slip in the B.Ed record
- The marksheets or the degree differ from class 10
- The slip entered at the entrance, at the college or in printing
- Corrected by the university, through the college
The graduation degree differs
- The B.Ed record is right, and the earlier degree carries another spelling
- Two universities, two versions
- Corrected by the university that issued the earlier degree
A changed name
- The student married or changed a name during or after the course
- The degree is right for the old name
- Linked by the marriage certificate, or by a Gazette for a change by choice
Most students of the course are in their twenties, and many are women who marry around this time. The third kind is common, and it is not a mistake in any paper. Read Kumari, Devi and the husband’s surname.
Which Case Is Yours?
| The situation | Route | Gazette? |
|---|---|---|
| A marksheet has a spelling slip against class 10 | A request to the university, through the college | No |
| The father's name is wrong on the degree | The same | No |
| The mother's name is wrong or missing | The same | No |
| The graduation degree is the paper that differs | The university that issued it | No |
| Aadhaar differs from the degree and class 10 | Correct Aadhaar | No |
| The eligibility test certificate differs | The body that conducted the test | No |
| A married surname is on Aadhaar only | No correction. Carry the marriage certificate | Ask the recruiter |
| The name was changed by choice | Gazette, shown with the degree | Yes |
A Gazette is certain in one row. Everywhere else a body corrects its own paper, or a marriage certificate explains the difference.
How Do You Have It Corrected?
This is the general method. We could not confirm any university's form or fee.
Step 1: Read your first B.Ed marksheet against the class 10 certificate
Your name, your father's name, your mother's name and the date of birth.
Step 2: Read it against your graduation degree too
The university admitted you on that degree.
Step 3: Ask the college to show its enrolment record
See whether the college's entry or the university's printing is at fault.
Step 4: Give the college a written request
Stating the entry as it stands and as it should read, with your school and degree certificates.
Step 5: Ask how the university takes a correction
Its form, its fee, and whether the old marksheet has to be surrendered.
Step 6: Follow it up before the next examination form
Each form repeats the name on record.
Step 7: Bring Aadhaar to the same name
Admission and recruitment portals read it.
Step 8: Read the degree the day it is issued, and use that name in every later form
For the eligibility test and for recruitment.
What About the Entrance Application, and Counselling?
- The entrance application is filled online. It asks for the candidate's name, the parents' names and the date of birth, with the marks of the qualifying degree.
- Fill it from the class 10 certificate and the graduation degree, yourself.
- The admit card shows the name as entered. Read it. Ask the conducting university at once about any slip.
- At counselling and reporting, originals are checked: class 10, class 12, the graduation degree and marksheets, residence and category certificates.
- A candidate whose certificates disagree among themselves is questioned there. Settle them before applying.
- Weightage and reservation are claimed on certificates. Those have to carry the same name too.
Read name change in caste certificate and name change in residence certificate.
What About the Graduation Degree Behind It?
- Admission to the course rests on a bachelor's or a master's degree. The university reads it for eligibility and for the name.
- That degree may be from a different university, or from an open university, in a slightly different form of the name.
- The new university will not correct another's paper. It will only ask why the two differ.
- Where the earlier degree is the paper that is wrong, it is corrected by the university that issued it, on the class 10 certificate.
- Do that before applying for the entrance. A teacher's file is read in order, from class 10 upward, and a break in the middle is noticed.
- A migration certificate from the earlier university is asked for at admission. It carries the name as that university holds it.
Read migration certificate name correction and name change in education documents.
What Is the College's Part, and the University's?
- The college keeps the admission record and forwards each examination form. It is the first desk for any request.
- The university keeps the enrolment and the results, and prints the marksheets and the degree. It alone can change them.
- A request therefore travels from the student to the college, and from the college to the university's examination section.
- Where the college's record is right and only a marksheet is wrong, the college can show that from its register.
- A student still on the rolls is in a strong position. The college has to send the next examination form anyway.
- Self-financed colleges change hands and close. A former student whose college is gone writes to the university directly.
Ask the college for a dated copy of what it forwards. A request that is not followed up tends to stay in a file.
Why Does the Eligibility Test Certificate Matter?
- A degree alone does not make a candidate eligible for a school post. A teacher eligibility test has to be passed as well, the state's or the central one.
- The test has its own form, filled in a different year, on a different portal.
- Its certificate carries the candidate's name and the parents' names as typed there.
- At recruitment the test certificate and the degree are read side by side, and both against class 10.
- A candidate who has married since the degree often fills the test form in a married name. The two papers then name two women.
- Fill the test form in the degree's name. A correction afterwards lies with the body that conducted the test, within its own window.
What Is Read at Recruitment?
- The application. Filled in the class 10 name, with each degree and the test certificate claimed.
- The merit. Often worked out from the marks on these very papers, from class 10 to the B.Ed.
- Verification. Every certificate and marksheet, the test certificate, and residence and category certificates.
- Appointment. The service record is opened in the name on these papers.
- Private schools. A recognised school also keeps its teachers' qualifications on record for the board that affiliates it.
A teacher's whole service rests on these degrees. A doubt raised ten years in is far harder to answer than a correction made as a student. Read name mismatch at document verification, UKPSC and UKSSSC application name mismatch and name change for government employees.
How Does the Central Gazette Route Work?
Use this where your name has in fact been changed by choice, so that the degree is right for a name you no longer use. It does nothing for a slip, which the university corrects.
Step 1: Confirm that your name has in fact changed
A slip against the class 10 certificate is corrected by the university.
Step 2: Ask the university how it treats a changed name
Many issue the degree in the name on their record and expect the Gazette to be shown beside it.
Step 3: Fix the exact new name, and copy the old name from the class 10 certificate
Letter by letter.
Step 4: Make the affidavit and publish the newspaper notice
Sign before a notary. Publish in a daily local leading newspaper, and keep the original newspaper.
Step 5: Type the form and sign the undertaking
Two typed copies of the specimen, signed in your old name with two witnesses, and the undertaking.
Step 6: Prepare the CD, photographs and certificate
The same text on a CD in MS Word, two self-attested photographs with identity proof, and a certificate that both copies match.
Step 7: Pay the charge on BharatKosh
Commonly Rs 1,100 for an adult. It is not refunded.
Step 8: Send the file yourself, then carry the Gazette with your degrees
Send it to the Controller of Publications, Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054. Update Aadhaar, and show the Gazette at every verification.
Would the Uttarakhand Gazette Do?
A state department may accept it for a state post. A teacher who may sit a central test or work elsewhere is better served by the Gazette of India.
Step 1: Read the recruitment notice
A state recruitment may accept either. Ask the department where the notice is silent.
Step 2: Think about a central test, Aadhaar and a post in another state
The Gazette of India serves them all.
Step 3: Contact the Roorkee press
Take the contact from govtpress.uk.gov.in and ask if a private change of name notice is being accepted.
Step 4: Ask for the papers, the format and the fee, and submit
Keep photocopies of everything.
Step 5: Download the notice
Search gazettes.uk.gov.in and save the PDF.
To weigh the two, read Uttarakhand Gazette vs Gazette of India.
Which Mistakes Do Students Make?
| Mistake | What to do |
|---|---|
| Letting a cafe type the entrance application from Aadhaar | Type it from the class 10 certificate |
| Never comparing the graduation degree with class 10 | Do it before applying |
| Not reading the first marksheet | Read it the day it comes |
| Reading only your own name | Read both parents' names and the date of birth |
| Leaving a slip until the course is over | Raise it while the college still sends your forms |
| Filling the eligibility test in a married name | Use the name on the degree |
| Writing on a marksheet by hand | Never. Ask for a corrected one |
| Rushing for a Gazette to fix a slip | The university corrects its slip |
| Keeping no copy of what the college forwarded | Ask for a dated copy |
A typical case we handle: a student at a college in Haldwani found that her first-year marksheet read "Neha Bisht, daughter of G. S. Bisht". Her class 10 certificate and graduation degree read "Neha Bisht, daughter of Govind Singh Bisht". A cousin suggested a Gazette before the degree was printed. Nobody's name had changed, so it was not the remedy. The entrance application had been typed with her father's initials. She gave the principal a written request with her certificates, the college sent it to the university, and the second-year marksheet and the degree carried his full name. This is an illustrative example of the type of case we handle, not a named client review.

Who Wrote and Reviewed This Page?
This page is written by the Documentation Desk Team of UttarakhandNameChange.com, the team that prepares Gazette files for people across Uttarakhand.
It is reviewed by Advocate Vipin Chauhan.
That admission in 2026 was through a state combined entrance test, notified by the university at Almora on behalf of three state universities, with an online application and counselling, is from education sites' reports of that notification. We did not read the notification, and admission has been arranged differently in earlier years. We could not confirm any university's form, fee, time limit or rule on surrendering an old marksheet. How a student's record is made and corrected is general guidance. Your college, and the university that issued each paper, are the authority.
