Getting the photo right the first time
Stand about a metre in front of a white wall, face a window for soft light, and have someone take the picture at eye level. Ears visible, eyes open, no cap. That is all NTA checks visually, and it avoids the most common rejection, a dark or shadowed face.
Keep the original
NTA allows corrections only in a short window after the form closes. Save the original photo and the resized JPG together so you can redo it quickly if a correction is needed. The JEE Main signature page prepares the other image.
Frequently asked questions
Some sites say 10–300 KB for JEE Main. Which is right?
The range has differed between years and sources. A file between 10 and 200 KB satisfies both, which is why this page uses it. If your bulletin says otherwise, change the numbers before you start.
Can I reuse my class 12 board photo?
Only if it is recent and meets the rules. NTA asks for a recent photo, and it has to match how you look at the exam centre.
Do I need the same photo for JEE Advanced?
Keep the original file. Using the same photo across JEE Main, JEE Advanced and counselling keeps your identity checks simple.
