Change of name

I have changed my name to anika sreekant after marriage on june,2014. All the educational certificates are in my original name of anushka. I have changed the name by an affidavit sworn before a notary in Bangalore and have also published the announcement in 02 newspapers. I have applied for the UPSC csat2014 in my changed name of Anika sreekant. I would like to know about the following:

1) Whether the change in name would affect my selection in the examination?

2) Is it necessary and possible to change the name on all the educational certificates?

3) Is it necessary to publish the announcement in the Gazette of India as well?

regards
