Legal Question in Education Law in

My wife is applying for MA in Political Science in Mysore Open University. She did her BA in same university, BA & SSLC marks card having her old name (Before marriage name).

After marriage her initials has changed & we have marriage certificate with new initials. Last month notary affidavit for change in name has made & also new name is published in 2 news papers.

Now when she went for applying for MA with new name, Mysore Open University people are not accepting. Reason they are quoting is �As old SSLC & BA marks card having old name, MA application also needs to be with old name then subsequently submit one more application for change of name with proper fee�.

My question

Once after my name changed in front of notary and also publishing in news paper, how can old name be quoted?

Please answer my question is correct to quote old name after affidavit & what is law says after affidavit.

once you have changed the old name to new name, the university has to accept the new name. To the university you may give an affidavit that the holder of BA / SSLC certificates with the old name and the person applying for MA with new name is one person.

You need to complete necessary paper work also with the University and previous institutions who have issued your educational testimonials.
