This paper explains the approach of face recognition using neural Network (NN) and back propagation algorithm. Face recognition can be obtained using holistic, featured-based and hybrid approaches. The Eigen face in holistic approach is faster and more efficient than the other techniques which are used when the whole face region is taken into account as input data. The feature- based approach used characteristic parameters of face where the parameters can be found by any facial extraction. The Hybrid approach uses a combination of holistic and feature- based approaches. The neural network is used to perform the face recognition by using the back propagation networks technique. The recognition performance of the proposed method is tabulated based on experiments performed on a number of images
