Union Public Service Commission — National Defence Academy registration on upsc.gov.in requires a recent passport photograph and signature upload. UPSC NDA recruits young candidates for Army, Navy, and Air Force wings of the National Defence Academy. Open to 12th pass.

Portal tip: After compressing here, open the live UPSC NDA 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 NDA photo & signature requirements

On UPSC NDA 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. Re-check the active PDF on upsc.gov.in before you pay the fee.

Document File size Dimensions Format
Passport photo 20–300 KB As per notification sample JPEG / JPG
Signature 20–300 KB White background, sign in black ink JPEG / JPG

Photo tips for UPSC NDA

  • 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.
  • NDA candidates are young — photo must match age proof; UPSC rejects obvious age mismatch at SSB document check.

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 NDA

  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 NDA 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.
