My university in Uttar Pradesh gave me my degree and marksheet with the wrong surname in 2005. Now, after 15 years, this mistake has come to light as my US visa application was rejected. I contacted the college, but they directed me to the university. I’ve been personally visiting the university for the last 5 months, but they keep asking me to contact someone else. It feels like they’re not taking my issue seriously, as they keep asking for the same documents repeatedly. What should I do? How can I get my marksheet and degree corrected?

You have a strong case for correction as the error is demonstrably the university’s fault. You can file a complaint with the Uttar Pradesh State Higher Education Department, seeking their intervention. You can also consider approaching a lawyer to help you navigate the legal process for rectifying the error.
