Photo too heavy or too light? Use the photo resizer and keep it at 10-200KB. For a phone-clicked signature, the signature resizer cleans and crops it, and you can set the size range.

Can I correct my photo and signature in the window?
Do not count on it. The bulletin says to upload the correct photograph and signature because a facility to correct them will not be given. NTA says a chance may be given to correct some particulars of the form during the correction period, and no change is allowed after it closes.
So fix the files before you pay, not after. The full upload prep is in our SWAYAM July 2026 form and photo guide.
What to do between now and 7 November
- Finish the form by 5 November. Log in with your application number and password, upload the files and select your courses.
- Pay the fee the same day. The bulletin says the confirmation page appears only after successful payment.
- Download the confirmation page. If it does not generate after payment, the bulletin treats that transaction as cancelled and you must pay again.
- Open the form on 6 November and check every field. Edit what you must by 7 November, 11:50 pm.
If you want to change your exam city
You have to give four exam city choices, and the city cannot change after the correction window. Per the bulletin, to edit your city choices you must delete the selected course and add it again with the new choices. Do this in the window, not after.
Common mistakes and error messages
Email not accepted. The bulletin says to use the same email ID that you used to enrol in SWAYAM courses on swayam.gov.in. A different email means your assignment scores will not count for the final score and certificate.
APAAR ID mismatch. If you enter an APAAR ID, your name, date of birth and gender in the form must match the APAAR record. Otherwise credits cannot be transferred to the ABC system.
Two applications. Only one application is allowed per candidate. More than one can lead to cancellation.
Two courses in one shift. You can appear for only one course per shift. Once you select a course and pay, it cannot be changed.
The fee is Rs 750 for one course (General) or Rs 500 (Gen-EWS/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/PwD/PwBD), plus gateway charges. Confirm on the portal before paying.
