Hi

It is not mandatory but preferable, so it would be good if you mention your name and date of photo on your photographs

The page number 31 of neet  2021 information brochure says that your photographs  must be taken  on or after 01.01.2021 and preferably mentioning  the name of the student and the date on which the photograph was clicked .

Also make sure that in your photograph you shouldn't be wearing any cap or goggle and at least 80% face coverage should be there in your photograph and your ears should be visible and the background should be white.

To help you further, here's how you can fill neet application form

*neet registration :- first of all visit the official website of neet i. e ntaneet  to generate your login credentials,
