UPSC CSE 2026: photo and signature size

For UPSC CSE, the photo and signature are uploaded as JPGs. The signature has to be done three times, on separate lines.

These sizes come from coaching and news pages (checked: 2026-10-19). Before you upload, confirm against the official notification at upsconline.nic.in.
The whole face should be visible with a white background. The form also requires a live photo.
