File Size and Format Requirements
Uploading files in the wrong format or exceeding the size limit will cause errors at registration. Follow these specifications before you upload any file:
| Document Type | Accepted Format | Size Limit | Key Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport Photograph | JPG / JPEG | 10 KB – 200 KB | White or light background; face clearly visible; taken within last 3 months |
| Signature | JPG / JPEG | 4 KB – 30 KB | Black ballpoint pen on white paper; running handwriting only, not block letters |
| Individual Certificates | 50 KB – 300 KB each | Clear scan at 200–300 DPI; all text, seals, and stamps must be fully readable | |
| Combined Category Certificate PDF | Under 500 KB | Merge all category documents into one PDF file |
Scan all certificates on a flatbed scanner at 200–300 DPI for best clarity. Your name across all uploaded documents must match your NEET UG 2026 scorecard exactly — even a minor spelling difference will cause a verification failure and potential seat cancellation.
Document Verification: Key Points
Document upload during registration is the first step. After seat allotment, you must appear for physical document verification at the allotted college with all original documents and one set of self-attested photocopies. Keep these points in mind:
- Name must be identical across the NEET scorecard, Class 10 certificate, Class 12 marksheet, and all category documents — even minor variations lead to seat cancellation.
- Original documents are mandatory at the physical verification stage; photocopies alone are not accepted.
- Missing or expired certificates result in immediate seat cancellation with no option to reclaim the seat.
- OBC-NCL and EWS certificates issued before 1 April 2025 will be rejected for 2026 counselling without exception.
- PwBD students must carry both the original Disability Certificate and the UDID card for disability quota verification.
- The registration window is final — no additional uploads or corrections are permitted after it closes on or around 27 June 2026.
