Hi,
The answer to this is yes you can, by getting an affidavit made from the court regarding the name change and an inform consent from your parents

According to the information you provided, if you have not filled out the NEET 2023 form, there will be little impact on the admissions process from a name change.

The issue arises if a name change is done after the NEET-UG form is submitted.

Depends on when you have changed your name. If you change it after filling your NEET UG exam forms, then it might be chaotic for a short time, but later on, an affidavit will be acceptable, so it's not a big worry. But just a reminder, for counselling or admission, you've to write the name written in NEET admit card, and then later on you can write alias or talk to the authority.
