A government-issued ID is necessary for verification at the exam centre. You can use any one of the following valid IDs:
Ensure your photo, name, and date of birth on the ID match the details on the admit card. If you are using your Aadhaar card for registration, it should also match the information in the form.
You are required to carry one recent passport-size photograph to be affixed on the NEET attendance sheet. The photograph should meet the following guidelines:
If you are applying under the Person with Disability (PwD) category, ensure that you carry the PwD certificate issued by a recognized medical authority. This is important to get the necessary accommodations during the exam.
