Union Public Service Commission — Civil Services Examination registration on upsc.gov.in requires a recent passport photograph and signature upload. UPSC CSE (IAS) is India's premier civil services exam, selecting officers for IAS, IPS, IFS, and 20+ Allied Services through a three-stage process.

Portal tip: After compressing here, open the live UPSC IAS / CSE application on upsc.gov.in and use the portal preview before paying the fee — rejected uploads are a common reason candidates miss the closing date.

UPSC IAS / CSE photo & signature requirements

On UPSC IAS / CSE forms, Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) usually accepts JPEG/JPG only. Target 20–300 KB for the photo and 20–300 KB for the signature; photo dimensions are often 300 × 400 px. Re-check the active PDF on upsc.gov.in before you pay the fee.

Document File size Dimensions Format
Passport photo 20–300 KB 300 × 400 px JPEG / JPG
Signature 20–300 KB White background, sign in black ink JPEG / JPG

Photo tips for UPSC IAS / CSE

  • UPSC online forms allow a wider KB band (often up to 300 KB) — still compress sensibly; very large files can timeout on upsconline.gov.in during peak hours.
  • UPSC sample photos require a white background, frontal view, and no shadows on the face.
  • UPSC Civil Services (IAS) DAF and preliminary registration share photo rules — upsc.gov.in allows up to 300 KB but keep files web-optimised.

Signature tips

  • Signature must be on white paper, black ink, without borders — UPSC may reject stylised or very faint signatures.

How to resize for UPSC IAS / CSE

  1. Download the specific UPSC examination notice (CDS, NDA, IAS, etc.) for dimension and KB rules.
  2. Prepare photo at passport size with white background; UPSC is strict about recent photographs.
  3. Compress within the published KB window — UPSC allows more headroom than SSC but still enforces a maximum.
  4. Upload during off-peak hours if the portal is slow; save a local copy before submitting Part-I registration.
  5. Use identical photo files for e-admit card and personality test where applicable.
  6. If the portal rejects the file, fine-tune using the general Sarkari Photo Resizer.

Common mistakes on UPSC IAS / CSE forms

  • Wearing uniform or camouflage in defence-exam photos unless the notice permits it.
  • Uploading a photo older than the notification's recency rule (often taken within the last 10 days).
  • Cropping out the chin or forehead — UPSC sample shows full head-and-shoulders.
  • Forgetting to re-upload when UPSC issues a correction window with stricter validation.
