Issues in Name change

Pradeep (Querist) 10 January 2017 This query is : Resolved
Sir, My name is Pradeep and my dad name is Raj, Sine my name in 10th and 12th marsheet is printed as Pradeep Raj(with Dad name) and name in UG AND PG degree is printed as Pradeep R ( Dad initial only mentioned) . So I have changed my name in gazette as Pradeep Raj to Pradeep R recently. since my dout is people says that I should get affidavit of my name change, first and to publish it, in public newspaper and then I should go for gazette name change. But I have directly applied to gazette office and changed my name With out getting affidavit and publishing in newspaper.. Since I am preparing for Government exams .

1. I like to know weather I want to get affidavit from notary and publish my name change in newspapers? Apart from my gazette changes
2. Is my name change from Pradeep Raj as per (10&12)th to Pradeep R as per ( UG&PG) is a correct format of change or not.
3. I am preparing for government exams so in certificate verification they accept my gazette copy of name change or not.If someother things is there for name change except gazette record mention it ( kindly answer for these doubts & my previous thanks for it)
Thanking you
Pradeep Raj
