Central Teacher Eligibility Test registration on ctet.nic.in requires a recent passport photograph and signature upload. CTET is the mandatory eligibility test for teachers in KVS, NVS, and DSSSB. Paper I covers Classes 1–5; Paper II covers Classes 6–8.

Portal tip: After compressing here, open the live CTET application on ctet.nic.in and use the portal preview before paying the fee — rejected uploads are a common reason candidates miss the closing date.

CTET photo & signature requirements

On CTET forms, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) usually accepts JPEG/JPG only. Target 20–100 KB for the photo and 10–30 KB for the signature. Re-check the active PDF on ctet.nic.in before you pay the fee.

Document File size Dimensions Format
Passport photo 20–100 KB As per notification sample JPEG / JPG
Signature 10–30 KB White background, sign in black ink JPEG / JPG

Photo tips for CTET

  • SSC's ssc.gov.in portal shows a live file-size readout — compress to the middle of the allowed KB band so a re-save does not push you over the max.
  • Use a plain white or light-coloured background; SSC sample images show ears visible and no cap or sunglasses.
  • Central teaching recruitments (KVS, NVS, DSSSB) ask for recent colour photos with neutral expression — avoid casual T-shirt photos for TGT/PGT posts.
  • CTET on ctet.nic.in allows up to 100 KB photo in recent cycles — check the Information Bulletin for the session you apply to.

Signature tips

  • Sign on white A4 paper with black or blue ballpoint pen, scan flat without notebook lines, then compress to the signature KB cap.

How to resize for CTET

  1. Open the active SSC notification PDF and note photo/signature KB (and pixel size if listed).
  2. Capture a recent colour passport photo in daylight; avoid beauty filters that change facial features.
  3. Compress photo and signature separately in the tool above, staying inside the published min–max KB range.
  4. Upload to the SSC registration module and check the on-screen preview before final submission.
  5. Keep the same files for document verification — SSC often compares live appearance with the uploaded photo.
  6. If the portal rejects the file, fine-tune using the general Sarkari Photo Resizer.

Common mistakes on CTET forms

  • Using an ID-card scan or WhatsApp-forwarded image instead of a proper passport-style photo.
  • Signature on ruled paper with lines visible after scanning.
  • Over-compressing below the minimum KB — some SSC forms reject files that are too small.
  • Uploading PNG when the portal dropdown only lists JPG/JPEG.
