Common Photo Mistakes to Avoid

• Not reading the specific UPPSC notification guidelines, as photo size requirements can vary between PCS, RO/ARO, and other exams.
• Uploading a photo with spectacles that have tinted lenses, which UPPSC does not allow in application photographs.
• Using a very low-resolution camera, resulting in pixelated images that look unclear on the UPPSC admit card.
• Signing with a gel pen that smudges easily, producing a blurred signature scan.

Tips for UPPSC Photo

• UPPSC PCS is a multi-stage exam. Use a professional photo that you would be comfortable presenting at the Interview Board.
• Ensure the photo has even lighting with no red-eye effect, which commonly occurs with flash photography.
• Keep your expression neutral and natural with mouth closed, looking directly at the camera.
• Maintain the same appearance (glasses, facial hair, hairstyle) at the exam that you have in the uploaded photograph.
