Photo aur signature ka size kitna rakhna hai?
Keep to the pixel sizes in the table. The advertisement lists no KB range, but the upload screen on the application portal can still enforce one. If it rejects a file, read the message on screen and adjust the quality, not the pixels.
A 150 x 200 px photo is a small image, so it will usually be light already. Photo blur aa raha hai? Crop the face tightly from a sharp original first, then resize once. Shrinking an already shrunk photo is what makes it blurry. Do not chase a KB figure here, since the advertisement gives none. The steps in resize an image to exact pixels work for all three files.
What is UKSSSC and which posts does this advertisement cover?
UKSSSC is the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission, which selects candidates for Group C posts in Uttarakhand departments. Advertisement No. 81/UKSSSC/2026 invites applications for 101 vacancies of Personal Assistant, Stenographer and Stenographer Grade-2 across several departments.
Check the advertisement number on the page you are reading. Other UKSSSC notices run separately and have their own posts, dates and forms.
How the selection works
Selection has two stages. First comes an offline, objective multiple-choice written exam. Candidates shortlisted on merit, four times the number of vacancies, then sit a qualifying typing and shorthand test. The exam date in the advertisement is provisional, so watch the commission website for the final date.
Date on the photo and background
The advertisement asks only for a latest colour passport-size photograph and does not mention a date, a name or a background colour. Follow what the upload screen displays, and use a plain light background if in doubt.
Dates and fee for this application
- Online application: 14 September to 14 October 2026.
- Correction (sanshodhan): 17 to 19 October 2026.
- Written exam: tentatively 20 December 2026.
- Fee: Rs 300 for Unreserved and Uttarakhand OBC, Rs 150 for Uttarakhand SC, ST, EWS and Uttarakhand Divyang candidates, nothing for Orphan. Pay by credit card, debit card, net banking or UPI only; fees paid any other way are not accepted.
What you can correct from 17 to 19 October
Once the last date passes you get one chance to edit the form. The advertisement says your name, mother's name, father's name, age and exam centre cannot be changed in this window. So check those now, not on 17 October.
Name, father's name and date of birth must be entered as on your high school certificate, and no other document is accepted for date of birth. A wrong name can lead to a faulty admit card and being kept out of the written exam.
How to prepare the files, step by step
- Keep your Aadhaar number, mobile number and e-mail ready. Registration uses Aadhaar, and one Aadhaar can be used only once.
- Take a fresh passport-style photo in daylight against a plain wall, then crop to the face and shoulders.
- Sign on plain white paper with a dark pen. See how to scan a signature on your phone for a clean shot.
- Press your left thumb on the ink pad, then on white paper, and photograph it flat.
- Resize the photo to 150 x 200 px, and the signature and thumb to 150 x 100 px. Save all three as JPG.
- Scan the high school certificate and both sides of your Aadhaar. If the portal shows a PDF size limit, use compress PDF to 200KB only when your limit is that high.
- Upload the photo, signature and thumb impression at Step 3, pay the fee at Step 4, then print the application at Step 5.
If the upload fails
- Wrong dimensions: the commonest cause. Check the width comes first: 150 wide, 200 high.
- File type: PNG, HEIC and WebP files can be refused. Convert to JPG.
- Captcha shows invalid: reload the page, type it fresh, and avoid copying it.
- Mobile browser lacks a pixel option in your resizer: switch the phone browser to desktop mode, or use the tools above, which let you type width and height.
For other exams, see photo and signature sizes for all exams.
