Dear Aspirant,

If you have mistakenly uploaded only your right-hand fingerprints on the NEET application form, you will still be allowed to appear for the exam. The National Testing Agency (NTA) primarily uses live biometric verification (such as fingerprint scans) at the exam centre rather than relying solely on the uploaded fingerprints. Many students in previous years have reported similar mistakes such as uploading only thumb impressions or unclear fingerprints—and were still able to give the exam and receive their results without any issues. The correction window for NEET does not allow changes to biometric data like fingerprints, so there is no option to re-upload them once the form is submitted. However, this error is not usually grounds for disqualification. It is advisable to carry a valid ID proof (such as your Aadhaar card) on the exam day to ensure smooth biometric verification. If there are any concerns during counselling or admission, you may be asked to explain the discrepancy, but it typically does not affect your eligibility for the exam itself. For peace of mind, you can also contact the NTA helpline and keep a record of your communication with them.
