⚠️ Photo Rejection Checklist
- ✕Glasses & Caps: Photos wearing sunglasses, caps, or hats are flagged automatically by AI scanners on SSC and Bank portals.
- ✕Red-Eye & Flash Glare: Ensure there is no flash reflection on your spectacles. Best is to upload without spectacles.
- ✕Background Color: Plain white or very light grey/blue backgrounds are standard. Avoid dark or busy wallpaper patterns.
- ✕Unclear Signature Scans: Signatures on ruled sheets (with lines) or shadows around the signature lead to rejection. Always sign on a plain white paper.
🇮🇳 हिंदी निर्देश (Form Photo Rules)
सरकारी नौकरी के आवेदन फॉर्म भरते समय 80% Form Rejections केवल गलत तरीके से पासपोर्ट फोटो या सिग्नेचर अपलोड करने की वजह से होते हैं। इन नियमों का पालन करें:
- लेटेस्ट फोटो का प्रयोग करें: फोटो हमेशा 3 महीने से ज्यादा पुरानी नहीं होनी चाहिए।
- सिग्नेचर की सही स्याही: हमेशा सफेद कागज पर काली स्याही (Black Ink Pen) से साफ हस्ताक्षर करें।
- चेहरा साफ़ रखें: मोबाइल कैमरे से फोटो लेते वक्त चेहरे पर छाया (shadow) न आने दें और दोनों कान स्पष्ट दिखने चाहिए।
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Exam Form Guidelines
Q. Is a live photo capture mandatory now for government exams?
Yes, boards like UPSC and SSC have introduced live photograph capturing during the registration process to match biometric records. However, you still need to upload a standard pre-clicked passport photo conforming to size guidelines (20KB - 50KB) on the main registration portal.
Q. What happens if I upload my signature in blue ink?
While some portals accept blue ink, boards like IBPS, SBI, and NTA strictly advise candidates to use a black ink pen for signatures. Black ink provides maximum contrast during document scanning, preventing biometric reader failures.
Q. Can I use SizeSnap on my mobile device to format my photo?
Yes! SizeSnap is fully optimized for mobile devices. You can click a photo using your smartphone camera, crop it to the required dimensions, and compress it under 20KB/50KB directly in your mobile browser without installing any apps.
