Yes, there could be problems if you change your legal first name spelling in India and apply for study abroad (visa application) in the USA.
The US Department of State (DOS) requires that your name on your visa application match the name on your passport. If your name spelling is different on your passport and visa application, the DOS may deny your visa application.
