Frequently Asked Questions

What photo format does NTA require?

JPG format, 200×230 pixels, file size 10KB–200KB, white background, face clearly visible, taken within the last 6 months. A passport-size photo with a plain background scanned at 200 DPI usually meets these requirements.

Can I correct my category after submission?

Category selection is typically locked even during the correction window. NTA has stated that category changes are not permitted after form submission. Verify your caste/category certificate before filling the form.

What if my name spelling differs between documents?

Use the exact spelling from your Class 10 certificate. If your Aadhaar has a different spelling, this may create issues during document verification at JoSAA. Resolve discrepancies with a gazette notification before applying.
