1)no need to change in educational documents

2) name change has to be published in official gazette and local newspapers .

3) after name change you can apply for job in your new name

from the cut off date you change your name in future you will be known from your new name. and to change your name you need to publish the public notice in a leading daily where you reside and effectively intimate the changed name in the official gazette

It would not be easy to get the name changed in educational certificates. Consult respective Board for the procedure if you want the change in certificates also.
