How to Take the Perfect NEET UG Photo

Do's

Don'ts

⚠️
Common mistake that causes rejection

Many candidates upload photos with a grey or off-white studio background, which appears white in real life but reads as non-white to the portal's validation system. Always use a pure white (#ffffff) background. Our tool lets you set the exact background colour.

What Pixel Dimensions Should NEET UG Photo Be?

The NTA notification specifies the dimensions in millimetres (101mm × 127mm), but photo portals work in pixels. The equivalent pixel dimensions depend on the resolution (DPI) used:

Resolution Pixel Width Pixel Height
96 DPI (standard screen) 379 px 476 px
150 DPI (medium print) 598 px 750 px
300 DPI (high quality print) 1197 px 1500 px

Our tool uses 96 DPI by default, which is standard for web uploads. If the NTA portal specifically asks for a higher DPI, contact us and we'll help.
