Before registration, log in using your own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan credentials. NTA also advises candidates to complete Re-KYC through DigiLocker to ensure their latest details are available for identity verification. Enter everything exactly as it appears in your documents. You must follow NTA's identity-verification instructions during registration. You must also carry an original, valid photo ID to the examination centre. We list the exam-day documents in the last section.

The form does not ask you to upload a category certificate. But reservation benefits depend on document verification later. Keep your certificate ready if you are in one of these groups: General, Other Backward Classes Non-Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL), Economically Weaker Section (EWS), Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) or Persons with Disabilities (PwD).
You need only the base documents. No category certificate applies.
Keep a non-creamy layer certificate, not a plain OBC one. Your community must be on the central OBC list. Creamy layer candidates are treated as General.
Keep an EWS certificate issued under Government of India rules. Ask the issuing authority how long it stays valid.
Keep a certificate from the competent authority. Your caste or tribe must appear in the central list for your state.
Upload your UDID card. If you don’t have one, upload a disability certificate instead. A person with benchmark disability (PwBD) generally has at least 40% of a specified disability, as certified by the competent authority. Make sure the percentage is clearly visible on the certificate.
Keep your applicable category or disability certificate ready before starting the registration process. This will help you complete the application without unnecessary delays.

Use a recent colour photo with a plain white background and good lighting. At least 80% of your face must show, including both ears. Take off your mask. Avoid anything that hides your face or ears.
Upload your own photograph and signature, never someone else’s. NTA treats that as an unfair means of practice. For the signature, sign on plain white paper with a dark pen (our tip). This table shows the official limits.
