Official Photo Guidelines for Indian Exams

Verified requirements from official notifications

Current Examination Cycle

Background & Lighting

All major examination boards (SSC, UPSC, NTA, IBPS) require a plain white or light-coloured background. Avoid shadows behind ears or textured wall patterns.

Face Coverage & Posture

Your face should cover approximately 70% to 80% of the picture frame. Keep a straight face looking directly at the lens. Both ears must be clearly visible.

Common Rejection Reasons

Do not wear sunglasses, tinted spectacles, caps, or headscarves that obscure facial outlines. Ensure the image is sharp and not pixelated or blurred.
