Respected sir/madam...
    My name is Nagargoje Rahul Vitthal. Last year, I completed the UPSC One-Time Registration. During the registration process, UPSC requested the father's name as mentioned in the Matriculation exam certificate. However, my certificate does not specify my father's name separately . Consequently, I entered my father's complete name (i.e., Nagargoje Vitthal Haribhau).

In my matriculation certificate, my mother's name is mentioned without her surname and last name(i.e., Hemalata). However, during the OTR, I provided my mother's name with her surname and last name(i.e., Nagargoje Hemalata Vitthal).

Sir, please advise me if I filled it incorrectly. If so, kindly provide a solution.
