Yes, you can change your name in NEET counseling with the help of a gazette and notary. Here are the steps involved:

1. Get a Gazette notification published in the official government gazette. This notification should mention your old name and new name, as well as the reason for the name change.
2. Get a notarized affidavit from a lawyer stating that you have changed your name. The affidavit should be signed by you and the lawyer.
3. Submit the Gazette notification and affidavit to the NEET counseling authority. The authority will then update your name in the NEET counseling system.

It is important to note that you can only change your name in NEET counseling if you have a valid reason for the name change. Some valid reasons for name change include:

* Marriage
* Religious conversion
* Adoption
* Court order

If you do not have a valid reason for the name change, the NEET counseling authority may not approve your request.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when changing your name for NEET counseling:

You will need to update your name in all of your educational documents, such as your high school diploma, college transcripts, and NEET admit card.
You may need to update your name in your bank account, passport, and other identification documents.
You may need to pay a fee to update your name in some government records.

I hope this helps!
