Photo ID scan too big? Bring it under the limit with the image compressor, which keeps the best quality that fits.
Which files do you upload for the DSSSB MTS form?
Two stages need files. At registration you upload a scan of one photo ID. In the application you upload your photo, signature and thumb impression. The notice makes you responsible for putting each one in the correct slot, in the correct format.
The notice gives KB limits only for the ID scan. For the photo, signature and thumb, it lists looks-based rules. The exact KB range appears on the upload screen, so read it there before you resize.
- Photo ID scan (registration): JPG or JPEG, 15KB to 60KB. Minimum resolution is 300 x 200 px for PAN or driving licence, 200 x 300 px for voter card and 450 x 350 px for passport.
- Aadhaar as ID: if you enter your Aadhaar number as ID proof, no scanned ID is needed.
- Photo: recent, clear, colour, plain white or off-white background, full face, front view, eyes open.
- Signature: must be clear. A blurred or unreadable signature gets the application rejected.
- Certificates: not at this stage. Supporting documents are sought only when you are called to upload your e-dossier.
Note that the Board may ask for the same photo on photo-quality paper later. A digital or printed photo that breaks the rules is rejected.
How to prepare your files before the form opens
- Scan your photo ID flat in good light, then check the size is 15KB to 60KB as a JPG.
- Take a fresh colour photo against a plain light wall, face straight, eyes open.
- Sign in dark ink on white paper and follow our phone signature scan guide.
- Resize with the photo resizer and the signature resizer once the upload screen shows the limits.

DSSSB MTS exam date, pattern and what happens after the form
The notice gives no exam date: it says the date will be intimated in due course through the Board's website. For the MTS posts the exam is one tier (General): 200 multiple-choice questions, 200 marks, 2 hours, in five parts of 40 marks each (General Awareness, Reasoning, Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, Hindi, English). Each wrong answer costs 0.25 marks.
After the exam, shortlisted candidates are called to upload an e-dossier with supporting documents. Department and post preferences are also taken at that stage, not in this form. Skill, endurance, driving or trade tests are held only as the job needs. The vacancy numbers in the notice are tentative.
Can I correct the DSSSB MTS form after submitting?
No. The notice says that once the online form is submitted, no change or correction is allowed, including change of category. Requests by post, email or in person are not entertained. Name, gender and father's name in the registration cannot be edited either.
So preview the form and check each field before the final submit. Check your category, post and photo in the preview, not after.
Common mistakes that get the DSSSB MTS form stuck
- Registering twice. Only one registration and one application are allowed. Duplicates are rejected and the candidature can be cancelled.
- Reusing an email or mobile. An email or mobile already on the OARS portal is not accepted for a new registration.
- Class X roll number. If it has letters, use only the digits (12CSC0204 becomes 120204) and do not add leading zeros.
- Slow session. The registration form session lasts 30 minutes, so keep the ID scan ready before you start.
- Waiting for the last day. The Board warns about portal load near the deadline and takes no responsibility for failed late attempts.
Checklist before you submit
- ID scan is JPG, within 15KB to 60KB, readable at full zoom.
- Photo has a plain light background and shows your full face.
- Signature is dark ink on white and fully visible.
- Email and mobile are active and never used on OARS before.
- You printed or saved the submitted form for your records.
