A live photograph is also captured during the application and matched against the Aadhaar database; if it does not match, the bulletin asks for an attested certificate with a recent photograph in the Annexure VI format. Use the same passport-size photograph on the application that you will paste on the attendance sheet at the centre, and keep 6–8 passport-size and 4–6 postcard-size (4″ × 6″) prints. The postcard-size photo is a physical print to carry, not an upload.
Certificates such as the category certificate and Class X mark sheet are PDFs of 50–300 KB; use the NEET certificate compressor. The bulletin gives two different sizes for the finger and thumb impressions (10–200 KB in one place, 50–300 KB in another); that page explains the conflict.
JPG or JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB, according to the NEET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin.
