What Are the Top Rejection Reasons for JEE Main Images?
NTA JEE Main applications face rejection due to: - Colored or Dark Backgrounds: Must be clean white with 80% face visibility. - Glare on Spectacles: Spectacles must have no reflections obscuring the eyes; remove them if glare cannot be avoided. - File Size Out of Range: Photo under 10 KB or over 200 KB, or signature outside 10–100 KB fail automated validation. - Mismatch with Live Capture: Candidates capture a live photo via webcam/mobile QR code that is checked against the uploaded passport photo.
