Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Is the postcard photo the same as the passport photo?
A. No. The passport photo (for online upload) is 200×230px (about 2.5×3.5 cm). The postcard photo is 4×6 inch — much larger. It must be printed and physically carried to the exam hall.
Q.How many postcard photos should I carry?
A. Carry at least 4 copies: one for the attendance sheet, one for the NEET answer sheet registration page, and two extras as backup. Not having enough copies can disrupt your exam process.
Q.Can the postcard photo be different from the one uploaded online?
A. No. The invigilator will compare your physical photo with the one on your admit card (which comes from your online upload). The photos must match in appearance — same outfit, same hairstyle if possible.
Q.Can I wear glasses in the NEET photo?
A. NTA guidelines state that spectacles are not allowed in NEET photos. However, if you wear prescription glasses and cannot remove them, you should carry a certificate from your doctor. When in doubt, remove glasses for the photo.
Q.What background color is required for the NEET photo?
A. White or off-white plain background. No colored backgrounds, no gradients, no patterns. The face should take up 70–80% of the photo frame.
