Why Photos Get Rejected on the NEET Portal
Photo exceeds 200KB
Camera phones produce 2–5MB images. The NEET portal caps uploads at 200KB — only about 7% of a typical 3MB phone photo.
Wrong pixel dimensions
Photos must be exactly 350×450px. Most phone cameras shoot much larger images that need precise cropping.
Incorrect background color
NEET requires a white background. Indoor photos, selfies, and studio photos with coloured backdrops are commonly rejected.
