@DM do we have to round off the decimals? for instance if it's 82.6%, should it be written as 82?
Hi ,
U can round up to 83 % only if there is no decimal point option ( as it is greater than .5 u can round up to next higher number )
Do I need to scan my photo mandatorily? My cybercafe wala clicked my photo on phone and then added name,date and resized it according to dimension and it's within the kb provided. However, it is not scanned version of a hardcopy, it's the soft copy which is resized. Will that create a problem? Please please let me know
If the image was not blurred , then there is no issue .

It is not blurred, so it will be ok right?
Not scanning wouldn't create a problem in form, no?
Hi,
I have a doubt, please clarify before I proceed with this year's application form. I made my profile with OTR last year with my original name, which is the same on all my documents including marksheets and degree. However, my Aadhar was updated few months back with change in the surname after marriage. Now I have new surname on the Aadhar and old surname on other documents which shall be required for DAF. Please guide how do I go ahead - updating OTR with new surname? If yes, then how? And will this create problem in further stages of verification or marriage certificate as a proof shall suffice to address the issue?
@DM @Neyawn
