Nothing is insignificant when it comes to names. Even a missing letter can cause issues.
You need to demonstrate the process through which the name changed from A to B.
You should talk to your local Indian consulate and ask them what they will accept as a proof of name change, and then go about procuring it.
** In US, they don't do name change just on the basis of school certificate ... their will either be a name change certificate or it will be a case of a woman taking husband's last name. Canadian processes might be different.
