Name difference while registration and passport

by ViratM307 Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:13 am

I have my GMAT scheduled day after tomorrow and the name in my registration form is
First name - Virat
Surname - Maheshwari

But in my passport ( the only valid identity proof) my name is
Given Names- Virat Nandkishor
Surname - Maheshwari.

Now i have called up the GMAC regarding a name change and they said before 72 hours it is not possible though they have lodged an incident for this.

Can anybody help me with what option do i have now?

I think you've done all you can do at this point. I'd still show up for your test appointment and just see what happens.

I don't know whether they'll accept it or not, but I'd hope so, as you aren't registered under a "different" name - you just don't have both given names in your GMAC account.

(If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you come back and tell us what happened, as someone else in future might have the same issue.)

Good luck - I hope you're able to take the test!!
