Practise your live photo capture
SSC, UPSC, IBPS, RRB and NEET now capture your photograph live through the webcam or phone camera while you fill the form, and several portals allow no correction afterwards. Open your camera here and FileOkay checks, frame by frame, whether the portal is likely to accept the shot.
How to do it
- Sit facing a window or a bright light, against a plain light wall.
- Start the camera and fit your face inside the oval.
- Adjust until every check turns blue, then take a practice photo.
Common questions
Which exams take a live photo?
As of 2026: SSC (via the application or the mySSC app), UPSC Civil Services, IBPS, RRB recruitment, and NTA exams such as NEET UG, JEE Main and CUET. Some also ask you to upload a photo file as well. Always read your notification.
Can I wear spectacles?
Many notices ask you to remove spectacles and caps for the live photo, and to keep your face straight with both ears visible. Remove them unless your notice says otherwise.
Is my camera video recorded or uploaded?
No. The video is analysed on your device only. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere, and the camera turns off when you leave the page.
NEET says the live photo must match my Aadhaar. What should I do?
Keep a similar look to your Aadhaar photo: no heavy change in hairstyle or glasses, face straight, neutral expression, good light.
