    Report a wrong size

    For example: the 2026 notice asks for 20–50 KB, not 10–20 KB.

    Why applications get rejected

    • Photo file is the wrong size (must be under 50 KB)
    • Signature is not under 30 KB
    • Background is not plain white or light
    • Face is blurry, too small or covered (cap, dark glasses)
    • Signature is written in capital letters
    • File saved as PNG or HEIC instead of JPEG
    • Name and date are missing on the photo (APPSC asks for them)
