Passport & Postcard Photograph Requirements
NEET UG candidate photos must have a plain white background. At least 80% of the candidate's face must be visible, with both ears clearly shown.
The photograph must have the candidate's name and the date of taking the photograph printed at the bottom. Two separate photo sizes are required for NEET: standard Passport size and 4"×6" Postcard size.
Both image files must be uploaded as separate JPG files between 10 KB and 200 KB.
Signature & Finger/Thumb Impression Rules
Signature: Must be signed on white paper in black ink in running script. Signatures in CAPITAL LETTERS will be rejected by NTA.
Finger & Thumb Impressions: Candidates must press all 10 fingers (Left & Right hands) on a white sheet using blue ink. The scan must be clear without smudging, saved as a JPG file between 10 KB and 200 KB.
Clarification on Unofficial Pixel Dimension Claims
Many third-party coaching websites publish specific pixel tables (e.g. 3.5×4.5 cm or exact pixel grids) as rigid official requirements. It is important to note that the official NTA NEET UG bulletin specifies file size limits (10–200 KB for photos, 4–30 KB for signature, 50–300 KB for PDFs) and file format (JPG/PDF).
Server upload validation checks file size and format encoding. Standard photo aspect ratios (such as 3.5×4.5 cm for passport and 4×6 inches for postcard) validate smoothly as long as file size in KB is within range.
