NEET Application Form

Four steps, one window, no second chance at most fields. What to have ready before you start, and what each stage actually asks for.

In short

Registering is four steps: register, upload images, pay, print the confirmation page. The fee is ₹1,700 for General, ₹1,600 for EWS and OBC-NCL, and ₹1,000 for SC, ST, PwD and third gender.

Most of what goes wrong is the uploads — every image has a size band and must be JPG. Get them ready before you open the form.

The four steps #

Register, upload, pay, print — in that order, and the confirmation page is the only proof you applied.

  1. Register. Create the account with your name, ID number and contact details. Keep the application number and password — everything afterwards needs them.
  2. Upload scanned images. Photograph, postcard photograph, signature and thumb impression, each within its own file-size band.
  3. Make payment. Online, by the category fee below. The application is not submitted until payment clears.
  4. Print the confirmation page. This is your proof of a completed application. Print more than one copy.

The application does not count as submitted until the fee is paid, and the confirmation page is what you produce if anything is disputed later.

What to upload #

Five files, all JPG, each with a size band that is enforced.

Upload specificationsEnforced at submission
Name of DocumentSize of DocumentFormat
Passport Size Photograph10 to 200 kbJPG
Post Card Size Photograph50 to 300 kbJPG
Signature4 to 30 kbJPG
Left-hand thumb impression10 to 50 kbJPG
Class 10th Passing Certificate100 to 400 kbJPG

These are rejected silently often enough to be worth checking twice. Prepare all five before opening the form — a file that fails at upload will cost the session.

Fees #

From ₹1,000 to ₹9,500, depending on category.

Accepted ID #

Which ID you may use depends on your nationality — and for Indian nationals it is Aadhaar.

Permissible ID proofBy nationality
CATEGORYPERMISSIBLE ID PROOF
Indian NationalsAadhar Card, or Aadhar Enrollment Number
Indian Nationals belonging to Assam, Meghalaya, or Jammu & KashmirAadhar Card, or Aadhar Enrollment Number, Ration Card Number, Bank Account Number, Passport Number, or any other Government-issued ID Card
Non-Resident IndiansPassport Number
Overseas Citizens of India/Persons of Indian Origin/ ForeignersPassport Number

The ID you register with matters later: the correction window will not let you edit your identity, date of birth or gender if you registered with an Aadhaar card.

If you get stuck #

NTA runs a help desk, a toll-free line and a NEET branch, and Common Service Centres will do the paperwork for a small fee.

Frequently asked #

How much is the NEET application fee?
₹1,700 for General, ₹1,600 for EWS and OBC-NCL, ₹1,000 for SC, ST, PwD and third-gender candidates, and ₹9,500 for NRI applicants.
What do I need to upload?
A passport photograph (10–200 kb), a postcard photograph (50–300 kb), your signature (4–30 kb), a left-hand thumb impression (10–50 kb) and your Class 10 passing certificate (100–400 kb). All in JPG.
Which ID can I use to register?
Indian nationals use an Aadhaar card or enrolment number. NRIs use a passport number, as do Overseas Citizens and Persons of Indian Origin.
Is my application complete once I fill the form?
No. It is complete only once the fee is paid and you have printed the confirmation page. Keep that page.
Can I change my details later?
Some of them. The correction window allows edits to a defined set of fields, and registering with Aadhaar locks identity, date of birth and gender.
