SSC Photo Requirements — All Exams

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) uses a unified specification for all its recruitment examinations, including CGL (Combined Graduate Level), CHSL (Combined Higher Secondary Level), MTS (Multi Tasking Staff), GD Constable, Stenographer, and JE (Junior Engineer). Whether you're filling the form for any of these, your photo and signature requirements are identical.

Common SSC Photo Rejection Reasons

  • File size exceeding 50KB: Camera photos are typically 2-5 MB. You must compress dramatically. Our tool does this automatically.
  • Wrong aspect ratio: The SSC portal is strict about the exact 200×230 pixel size. A generic passport photo won't work.
  • Colored/cluttered background: Only pure white backgrounds are accepted.
  • Face not centred: Your face should be clearly centred and fill 70-80% of the frame height.
  • Photo is old: SSC requires a recent photograph (taken within the last 3 months is recommended).

How to Prepare Your SSC Signature

  1. Sign with a black ball-point pen on plain white paper.
  2. Keep the signature within a compact area — no wider than 5 cm.
  3. Take a close-up photo in bright light. Avoid shadows.
  4. Upload to PhotoSarkari's Signature Tool — the Clean Signature filter will automatically enhance contrast and make the ink crisp.
