Frequently asked questions

What is the JEE Main photo size?
NTA sets the JEE Main photo at 480×576 pixels — a 3.5×4.5 cm passport size at 200 DPI — weighing 10–200 KB in JPG on a plain white background.
What is the JEE Main signature size?
The signature comes in near 480×144 pixels and 4–30 KB in JPG. Put it down on white paper using black ink.
Do JEE Main and NEET have the same photo requirements?
They line up — NTA applies roughly the same rules to both: about 480×576 px, 10–200 KB, JPG, white background. Still, confirm each one from its own information bulletin.
Do I need to carry the same photo to the JEE Main exam centre?
You do. NTA expects you to bring a printed admit card along with the very photograph you uploaded at registration, since a mismatch can create trouble at the centre.
Can I upload a photo taken with my phone for JEE Main?
Certainly. Shoot with your phone in good light in front of a white wall, then use our tool to bring it to 480×576 px and under 200 KB in JPG.
What format does JEE Main accept for the photo?
JPG/JPEG only. Turn any PNG or HEIC image into a JPG before you upload it.
