What if the Date of Birth on Aadhaar Card is incorrect, and the DOB on Voter ID and birth certificate are matching to the marksheet, can the incorrect DOB on the Aadhar Card still create a problem during admission to the Master of Science (M.S.) programme at PMCH Patna?

Dear Student,

Your DOB will be verified by PMCH Patna primarily through Class 10 marksheet. The details on your Class 10 marksheet match your Voter ID and birth certificate, so even if there are discrepancies in Aadhaar, it typically does not lead to disqualification for M.S. At this institute, 10th standard certificate is taken into consideration for date of birth proof over Aadhaar. Birth certificate serves as a supporting document and Aadhaar is only one optional ID option alongside Voter ID/ Passport. However, you must update your DOB on Aadhaar separately via UIDAI after admission to avoid future hassles.
