You have to get this done by swearing an affidavit before the first class magistrate and then by making a public notice.

you cannot change the names in academic certificates by any means.

Yes Mr Mahendrakumar is right. Name cannot be changed in the School Certificates. However, as other Experts have stated, the name can be changed by a sworn affidavit together with publice notice in the newspaper.
