NEET UG 2026 application process (Feb-Mar 2026)

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.
