You have to fill the new name and not the old one, if you have changed the name by gazette notification as properly prescribed.
Your old name in the records will have to be read as new name when you keep the gazette notification along with the old record bearing old name.

You completed your studies before marriage. So it is not necessary for Gazette notification. But you have to get your marriage registered before the Marriage Officer concerned. In the marriage application, you have to mention your surname of the husband and get the Marriage Certificate with your new surname.

"Solanki" surname has been changed subsequent to your marriage, whereas certificate(s) and testimonials contain "Goyal" which can not changed retrospectively.
You may mention both surnames, if you feel so strong about your surname of "solanki".
