Dear aspirant,
NEET or National eligibility entrance test has several rules and regulation to prevent any sort of misdeeds during the examinations. As a result the application process is lengthy and require a lot of time. The thumb impression is one of the important elements of applying students. It gives individual identity and prevents any kind of fraud during exams. Along with the application fingerprint a student must register her/his fingerprint on the OMR sheet too. It is basically taken to mark the actual attendance of the student.
In several cases, a different person sits for the exam in the name of the person in the application. To prevent such frauds National testing agency has introduced the registration of fingerprints on the OMR. While checking the OMR sheets the fingerprint is matched with the one registered in the application.
Thank You

If impression is made on a different side then it wont cause any problem as the whole scanning thing is done on machine.
Yes, that is possible. The signature that is entered during the NEET exam form fill up is compared with the one entered in the exam hall.
