- Repeat for each tab, then upload the files to the application form.
The signature limit is tighter than NEET and JEE
The CUET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin asks for a signature as a JPG or JPEG between 10 KB and 50 KB. The JEE (Main) 2026 and NEET (UG) 2026 bulletins allow signatures up to 100 KB. So a signature file prepared for one of those exams can be rejected for CUET if it is larger than 50 KB. Make a separate file for CUET.
The photograph
The bulletin says you upload a live photograph when filling the application form and also a recent scanned passport size photograph. The scanned photo should be in colour, with 80% of the face visible including ears, without a mask, against a white background, and the file should be a JPG or JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB. NEET (UG) 2026 also accepts black and white photographs, but the CUET bulletin specifies colour.
Capturing the live photograph
For the live photograph, switch on your camera or connect a webcam to the device you use for the form. If your device does not support a webcam, scan the QR code on the form with a mobile device or tablet. Use a light-coloured background with proper lighting, and keep 80% of your face visible, including ears, without a mask. This happens at the time of the application, not at the examination centre.
Other files and the exam day
A disability or UDID certificate is a PDF between 50 KB and 300 KB. An identity proof, for candidates who do not verify through Aadhaar or DigiLocker, is a JPG or JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB. NTA reserves the right to verify the details and photographs, and advises updating your Aadhaar card with a recent photograph, name, date of birth, gender and address.
You must upload your own photograph, signature and certificates. If someone else's are found, now or in future, it is treated as an unfair means practice. On exam day, carry the printed admit card with the self-declaration, one passport size photograph (the same as uploaded) to paste on the attendance sheet, an authorised original photo ID and a simple transparent ball point pen.

Photo rules in the NTA bulletin
NTA asks for a recent photograph in which the face covers about 80% of the image, with both ears clearly visible, against a white background. Masks are not allowed. NTA does not give a pixel size, only the KB range, so this tool uses standard passport proportions (3.5 × 4.5 cm) at 413 × 531 pixels, which looks clear and lands comfortably inside the range. Crop tightly: the dashed oval shows roughly how large the face should be, and you can make the box smaller so the face fills more of the frame.
Live photo
NTA forms also capture a live photograph during the application. Sit in good light in front of a light wall, face the camera and keep your ears visible, just like in the uploaded photo.
Is the CUET signature limit different from NEET and JEE?
NEET and JEE Main allow a signature of up to 100 KB, but CUET UG allows only 50 KB. If you prepared your files for another NTA exam, check the signature size before uploading it to CUET. This page is set to the CUET range, so the signature will always come out between 10 and 50 KB.
Preparing the signature
- Sign on plain white paper with a dark pen, a little larger than usual.
- Photograph it from above in good light.
- Upload it in the Signature tab. The cleanup makes the paper white and the ink dark, and the empty space is trimmed.
- Click Resize signature.
After you apply
Keep copies of the uploaded photo and signature. Universities admitting through CUET often ask for the same photo in their own admission portals later, sometimes with a different size limit. The photo to 50 KB and photo to 100 KB tools help with those.
