I will agree with views of Mr Gautam Kapoor. I would add

Truth is singular lies are many.

How is ti possible that someone's date of birth is wrongly recorded in schoopls records. Even if the parents are illiterate still teachers do check brith certificate and do not enter the date of brith unless they are satisfied.

In most of the cases parents do commit some deliberate fraud and hoodwing the school authorities and secure a wrong DOB.

In some cases schoold authorities negligently enter wrong date at board entrance stage but the data is cross checked and yet on receipt of matriculation certificate you had notice of wrong date of birth.

In some cases persons are born in a family of abject poverty and illteracy in a very remote area and none knows correct date of birth In such case the assumed incorrect date is recorded every where be it matriculation certificate of or passport.

Date of birth at college level is the same as you report them.

Please come with truth. Without that proper advise cannot be given.
