Complete Exam Photo Size Guide 2026 — All Government Exams
Photo size requirements for every major Indian government exam in one place. SSC, UPSC, IBPS, Railway, NEET, JEE, State PSC, Police, PAN, Aadhaar, Passport — with exact specs.
Why Exam Photo Specifications Matter
Every Indian government exam portal validates uploaded photos against strict technical requirements — pixel dimensions, file size, format, and sometimes background colour. A mismatch on any single parameter can get your application rejected, and correction windows are often short.
This guide consolidates photo specifications for every major exam category in India as of 2026. Bookmark this page and refer to it whenever you fill out an exam application. All specs are verified against the most recent official notifications.
