About WBCS

Group A posts include West Bengal Administrative Service (WBAS) and West Bengal Police Service (WBPS). The exam has Preliminary (MCQ), Mains (descriptive), Personality Test, and Medical Examination stages. It is the most competitive state-level exam in West Bengal.

How to Upload Your Photo for WBCS

1. Register on the WBPSC portal at wbpsc.gov.in by clicking the 'One Time Registration' link.
2. Complete your OTR profile with personal details, educational qualifications, and upload documents.
3. Upload a recent passport-size photograph in JPEG format (5-40KB) with a light background.
4. Upload your full signature in JPEG format (5-20KB) done with black ink on white paper.
5. Apply for WBCS through the OTR dashboard, verify details, pay the application fee, and download the confirmation.

Common Photo Mistakes to Avoid

• Using a photo file larger than WBPSC's strict 40KB limit, which is smaller than most other commissions allow.
• Not completing OTR registration beforehand, as WBPSC requires this before applying to any exam.
• Uploading a photo with a dark background, which WBPSC may reject during the application scrutiny process.
• Ignoring the specific pixel dimension requirements mentioned in the WBCS notification, which WBPSC checks rigorously.

Tips for WBCS Photo

• WBPSC has a notably strict 40KB file size limit. Use FitPic to compress the image while preserving clarity.
• Take the photo against a light blue or white background as preferred by WBPSC.
• Ensure your face takes up at least 60-70% of the image area for clear identification.
• The same OTR photo will be used from Prelims through the Personality Test, so choose a professional, recent photograph.
