Telangana police constable 2026: one-file photo and signature
The TSLPRB constable notification of 29 July 2026 wants the passport photo and specimen signature in one single JPG of 30KB to 100KB. A photo without the signature is rejected and any non-JPG file is refused by the system. Applications closed on 16 September 2026; certificates for Part II come after the Preliminary Written Test.

The Telangana police constable form (TSLPRB notification Rc No. 189/Rect./Rect.-2/2026, dated 29 July 2026) takes the passport photo and the signature as one single JPG, between 30KB and 100KB. If you upload the photo without the signature, the application is rejected. Most other police forms ask for two separate files, so this one catches people out.
The upload rule in one table
| Document | Format | File size (KB) | Dimensions | Other rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photo + signature, one image | JPG only | 30 to 100 | Not stated | Recent passport size photo and specimen signature together; no signature means rejection |
| Certificates (Part II) | Scanned copies | Not stated | Not stated | Uploaded later, only after you qualify in the Preliminary Written Test |
Source: TSLPRB Notification Rc No. 189/Rect./Rect.-2/2026 dated 29 July 2026, paras 6 and 8 (checked October 2026). The notification gives no pixel size, no background colour and no dress rule for the photo.
Make the photo with the photo resizer for 100KB, clean the signature with the signature resizer, then put both on one picture with the photo collage maker and save a JPG.
Where this stands: the window has closed
The board issued four notifications on 29 July 2026 for 7,437 posts in all, of which 7,112 are in the constable (civil and equivalent) notification. Applications opened at 8 am on 19 August 2026. The press note of 8 September extended the last date to 5 pm on 16 September 2026, and the note of 10 September raised the upper age limit by a further 3 years for constable posts.
So the Part I form is closed. What still matters: Part II, where those who qualify in the Preliminary Written Test upload certificates on tgprb.in on dates announced later, and any future TGPRB notification that uses the same one-file rule.
How the Part I form works, in order
The order is unusual: you pay first, then fill the form. This is the sequence the notification gives.
- Register on tgprb.in with a mobile number that becomes your login ID.
- Pick the posts you want and pay the fee shown for them online.
- Log in again and fill Part I, then upload the one-file photo and signature.
- Submit, confirm with the OTP and download the PDF of your form.
The mobile number must stay active for the whole recruitment, because the board communicates through it. Paying the fee and not pressing submit leaves you with no application, and the fee is not refunded.
How to make the combined image
The notification includes a sample picture showing the recent passport photo of the candidate and the signature in the same image. Copy that arrangement.
- Resize the face photo to a small passport size with a plain background.
- Sign on white paper in dark ink and clean the scan so the paper is white.
- Place both in one image and export as JPG.
- Check the file is between 30KB and 100KB before you upload.
The size is for the whole combined file, not for each part. If the result is under 30KB, the system can reject it too, so raise the quality or use a slightly larger picture. Do not guess: save the file, look at its size in your gallery or file manager, and only then upload.
Common mistakes and the fix
- Photo uploaded without the signature. The notification says the application will be rejected. Always include both in one image.
- PNG or another format. The system rejects anything that is not JPG and you may not be able to complete the rest of the form. Convert first, as in PNG to JPG for a form.
- Unreadable signature after compression. Keep the signature large enough inside the picture. Compress by lowering quality, not by shrinking the pixels. See scanning a signature on your phone.
- Submitting in a hurry. Once you submit, the notification says no corrections can be made. Check every detail first.
Aadhaar and the later stages
The September press note says Aadhaar verification was taken up for the first time in this recruitment, and that offline Aadhaar verification has also come into force. Keep your Aadhaar details consistent with the form you submitted, because the board checks them. The Preliminary Written Test is one paper of three hours with 200 questions for 200 marks, and the hall ticket is issued online.
Documents to keep ready for the certificates stage
- SC candidates: the latest SC community certificate with sub-classification into Group I, II or III, issued by the Telangana authority.
- EWS: a certificate issued on or after 1 April 2026.
- BC candidates: a non-creamy layer certificate issued on or after 1 April 2026.
- Local status: bonafide from Class 1 to 7, or a residence certificate.
- Special category certificates, such as Home Guard or children of police personnel.
The notification does not publish a KB limit for these Part II scans. When the board announces the dates, follow the size the upload screen shows. Scanned certificates are best kept as clear PDFs; see compressing a PDF for upload if one comes out heavy. For the other states' police forms, the all exams photo and signature hub and the MP Police upload rules show how those differ.
Checklist before you submit a TGPRB form

Frequently asked questions
What is the photo and signature size for the Telangana police constable form?
A single JPG of 30KB to 100KB that contains both the recent passport size photo and the specimen signature. The notification gives no separate size for each and no pixel dimensions.
Do I upload the photo and signature separately?
No. The Part I application asks for them combined as one file or image in JPG format. A photo without a signature in the picture makes the application liable to rejection.
Can I upload a PNG instead of JPG?
No. The notification says the system rejects a file that is not in JPG format, and you may not be able to finish the rest of the form. Convert the image to JPG first.
Is a blue background photo allowed?
The notification does not state a background colour or dress rule. It asks for a recent passport size photograph, so a plain, clear one is the safe choice.
Photo kitne KB ka hona chahiye TGPRB form mein?
Photo aur signature ek hi JPG image mein, jiska size 30KB se 100KB ke beech ho. Alag alag files nahi chalengi. Size ke liye sirf notification wali range follow karo.
Can I still apply, and when are certificates uploaded?
The last date for the 2026 Part I form was 5 pm on 16 September 2026. Candidates who qualify in the Preliminary Written Test upload scanned certificates in Part II on tgprb.in, on dates the board will announce.
Is there a live photo capture, and is the admit card photo the same?
The notification does not mention live capture: the photo goes in as part of the scanned one-file JPG. It also does not say which photo appears on the hall ticket, which is issued online, so follow the board's later notices.
