Where these numbers come from
Every value on this page is taken from the official National Testing Agency (NTA) documents below. If a newer notification is out, it takes priority.
Where official sources disagree
- Demo upload screenshot (p. 86) differs from the bulletin text: photo max 300 KB (text 200), signature max 50 KB (text 100), Class 10 PDF min 10 KB (text 50). Staying within photo 10–200 KB and signature 10–50 KB satisfies both.
Next update: JEE Main 2027 Session 1 bulletin expected late October / November 2026 — re-check soon.
