For filling the NEET application (National Testing Agency –
NTA):
> Basic Documents
* Recent passport-size photographs (as per NTA specifications)
* Candidate’s signature (scanned)
* Left & right thumb/finger impressions (if asked during
the process)
* Class 10 mark sheet & certificate (proof of Date of
Birth)
* Class 12 mark sheet/certificate or proof of appearing (if
not passed yet) – for eligibility/education details
* Valid photo ID proof (uploadable):
* Aadhaar Card (preferred), or Passport / PAN Card / School ID / Ration Card etc.
>> For many states/years, you upload photos, signature
& ID proof during the form fill-up itself rather than all certificates. But
keep all originals ready for verification later.
2. Category / Reservation Certificates
Since you’re a student claiming Muslim Minority quota and
also Backward Class (e.g., BC-E / OBC), you should prepare:
>> Category / Community Certificates
Muslim Minority Certificate
→ Issued by Minority Welfare Department/competent authority declaring religion
status (Islam) – required for minority quota eligibility in some
colleges/states.
BC / OBC (Non-Creamy Layer / Backward Class) Certificate
→ Issued by a Revenue Authority (like Tahsildar / SDM) in Central Government
format if you want reservation under OBC/BC.
>>without these, you may be treated as General
category for certain seats (especially central seats). So ensure certificates
are in proper central/state format valid for the admission year.

4. Notes / Tips
✅ Keep originals + self-attested
copies of all documents ready for counselling verification.
✅ Documents required for application form
submission may be fewer, but verification at counselling time is strict and
must include all proofs.
✅ Formats matter: For OBC / Minority
certificates, ensure they are issued by the competent authority and valid for
the current academic year.
