    Causes of JEE Main 2027 Photo Mismatch 

    Candidates should understand why the JEE Main photo mismatch error is occurring. It is the first step towards resolving the problem. Here are some of the common reasons. 

    1. Outdated Aadhaar Data- It is possible that data fetched through an identity verifier like DigiLocker, Janparichay, or e-Pramman is old and has not been updated with any latest information.

    2. Old photo in Aadhaar- Photo captured during live photo may look very different from that of Aadhaar. This may cause an algorithm to flag JEE Main photo mismatch error.

    3. Live Camera Issues: Any problem with camera or improper lighting may result in unclear facial features.

    4. File format and specification: If any image is uploaded not pertaining to specified dimensions or file size limits can cause an error during photo verification.

    5. Linking wrong Aadhaar- Some candidates have reportedly linked Aadhaar of their parent, causing their parent’s photo to be fetched instead.

    4. Reapply- In case candidates had applied with incorrect format and are unable to change the photograph, they can register again. NTA had released a notification stating that only the last submitted application form with a successfully paid fee will be considered final.
