In the CUET OMR answer sheet, in the mother's name space, I wrote Rani Jain (example) which is actually my father's surname. What to do?
But turns out I entered my mother's name in the registration form as her birth surname. The invigilator did not verify this properly and so I wrote this incorrect mother's name for three subjects except for the fourth one. Will my other papers be rejected?

In most cases a mistake in your mother's name on the CUET OMR sheet shouldn't lead to rejection of your answer sheets, especially since you have the following factors in your favor:
- Your roll number and name are correct: These are the identifiers for your answer sheet.
- Mother's name discrepancy is minor: The mistake involves using your father's surname instead of your mother's current surname, which might be understandable.
- Correct mother's name in registration form: This shows you provided the accurate information initially.
Here's what you can do:
- it's likely alright: There's a high chance your answer sheets will be evaluated
