Understanding Photo Requirements for NEET 2017

Many students participating in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2017 faced confusion regarding the necessary details that needed to be included in the uploaded photographs. This article aims to clarify the specific requirements and provide guidance for ensuring compliance with the rules.

Overview of Photo Requirements

The official instructions for NEET 2017 clearly state that the photographs uploaded for the application form should be clear, with the name and date of birth clearly visible. However, for some applicants, the initial application might have included photos that did not have these details.

Here's a detailed breakdown of the requirements and clarifications provided:

What to Do if Your Passport Size Photo is Without Name and Date

According to the instructions from the NEET 2017 team, if you are unable to upload a photo with the name and date of birth, you should still carry the same photo that was initially uploaded for the application form. This is because the photograph should match what was approved in the application process.

Multiple Identical Photographs

For the NEET 2017 examination, candidates are required to provide three additional identical photos apart from the one included in the application form:

1 postcard-size photo to be affixed in Performa 1 1 passport-size photo to be affixed in the admit card 1 passport-size photo to be carried to the exam hall for affixing in the answer sheet

If your initial uploaded photo was without the name and date of birth, you should use the same photo for the three additional copies as well. The NEET helpline confirmed that all these photos should match the one uploaded initially and approved for the application form.

Additional Clarification from NEET Helpline

For further clarity, candidates should contact the NEET helpline. It is recommended that all students facing any such dilemmas should update the helpline details in the relevant forums. This will ensure that the necessary information is shared and any future students can benefit from the clarifications.

Conclusion

While NEET 2017 has specific requirements for photo details, the guidance provided by the helpline is very clear. By following these instructions, students can ensure that they are fully compliant with the exam requirements and reduce the chances of any last-minute complications.
