SSC CGL 2026 official notice

SSC signature keywords have high demand. The apply window is closed. Watch the notice board for the next cycle and for any remaining CGL 2026 corrigenda.

  • Application dates2026-08-06

    Original notice listed applications 2026-05-21 to 2026-06-22 and correction 2026-06-29 to 2026-07-01. The 2026-06-23 reopen notice revised the close date to 2026-06-25 and correction to 2026-07-01 to 2026-07-03.

  • Para 9.6 - scanned signature (repeated in the application-module instructions, page 50)2026-08-06

    Scanned signature should be JPEG/JPG, 10-20 KiB, image dimension about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height). Blurred/miniature signatures are rejected summarily.

  • Para 9.6 - live photograph capture2026-08-06

    Candidates must capture live photo through webcam/mobile device; poor quality, miniature, blurred or side-facing photos are rejected, and capturing a pre-existing photograph is grounds for rejection.

  • Instructions for uploading signatures (advisory, 15-08-2024)2026-08-06

    SSC's signature advisory: miniature signatures are the major rejection reason; sign within the box so the signature occupies at least 80% of it.

Rule change log

  • 2026-09-04Correction to the 2026-08-06 entry below: the 4.0 cm (Width) x 2.0 cm (Height) clause DOES exist in the CGL 2026 notice -- Annexure-IV, item (b), PDF p. 71 ('The image dimension of signature should be about 4.0 cm (Width) x 2.0 cm (Height)'), verified against the notice PDF with pdftotext. Para 9.6 (PDF p. 18, repeated p. 52) states 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height) for the same rule. Both clauses are now shown on the page; the applied value is unchanged at 6.0 cm x 2.0 cm because para 9.6 is the operative 'How to Apply' instruction, repeated in the application-module instructions, while Annexure-IV is a sample walkthrough.
  • 2026-09-02Upload-rule numbers now carry source claims (quote -> interpretation -> value); no value changed.
  • 2026-08-20Updated the stored application and correction dates to match SSC's 2026-06-23 reopen notice. Close date is 2026-06-25, not the original 2026-06-22. Correction window is 2026-07-01 to 2026-07-03. Signature upload rules are unchanged.
  • 2026-08-06Corrected the signature dimension guidance to the official 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height) figure (3:1 aspect) from para 9.6, page 18 of the CGL 2026 notice. The spec previously used 4.0 cm x 2.0 cm (2:1), which does not appear in the CGL 2026 notice. The 10-20 KB JPEG/JPG rule is unchanged.
  • 2026-08-06Added SSC's anti-miniature guidance (fill at least 80% of the box), the Aadhaar-authentication note, and a structured live-photo boundary.

NTA NEET UG 2026 Information Bulletin

NEET UG is the largest applicant-scale row in the top-200 research and has multiple upload types that candidates can prepare before submission.

  • NEET UG image upload instructions2026-09-04

    Official NEET UG 2026 information bulletin verifies the recent passport photograph rules: JPG/JPEG, 10-200 KiB, taken after 2026-01-01, 80% face visible including ears without mask against white background.

  • Upload Scanned Images specifications (p.15) and documents to bring on exam day (p.47)2026-09-04

    Passport vs postcard clarification, re-read from the official NEET UG 2026 bulletin: only the passport-size photograph (JPG/JPEG, 10-200 KiB) is uploaded with the online application. The Post Card size (4"x6") colour photograph with white background is NOT an upload — it is a physical print pasted on the Proforma downloaded with the Admit Card. The bulletin tells candidates to keep 6-8 passport-size and 4-6 postcard-size prints, and the same passport photo used for upload is also pasted on the Attendance Sheet at the centre.

  • NEET UG signature upload instructions2026-09-04

    Official NEET UG 2026 information bulletin verifies the candidate signature rules: JPG/JPEG, 10-100 KiB, clearly legible scanned signature.

  • NEET UG biometric impression upload instructions2026-09-04

    Official NEET UG 2026 information bulletin requires Left and Right Hands Fingers and Thumb impressions together in one image, not left thumb alone, and states the facility for correction will not be given for this upload. It also conflicts internally on size: the upload table says JPG/JPEG 10-200 KiB, while a later paragraph says 50-300 KiB. SarkariDoc generates the safe intersection, 50-200 KiB.

Rule change log

  • 2026-09-04Re-verified against the official NEET UG 2026 Information Bulletin: photo (JPG/JPEG, 10-200 KB), signature (JPG/JPEG, 10-100 KB), category certificate and Class-X marksheet PDFs (50-300 KB) unchanged. The finger/thumb-impression size conflict is still present in the bulletin (upload table says 10-200 KB on p.16, a later paragraph says 50-300 KB on p.17); SarkariDoc's 50-200 KiB safe intersection stands. Checked neet.nta.nic.in's notice list through 2026-07-20: only post-result notices (toppers, answer keys, fee refunds), no NEET UG 2027 bulletin yet -- confirmed by web search, which reports the 2027 bulletin is expected around February 2027.

  • 2026-08-05Re-read the official NEET UG 2026 bulletin to settle the passport-vs-postcard photo confusion: only the passport-size photograph (10-200 KiB JPG) is uploaded online. The Post Card size (4"x6") white-background photo is a physical print pasted on the Proforma downloaded with the Admit Card, and candidates should keep 6-8 passport-size and 4-6 postcard-size prints.
  • 2026-07-10Re-read the official NEET UG 2026 bulletin more closely and clarified that the biometric upload must contain both a Left Hand and a Right Hand Fingers and Thumb impression together in one image, not left thumb alone, and that NTA offers no correction facility for this upload once submitted.

The section header itself reads 'Photograph Image: (4.5cm x 3.5cm)', which does not match the 200 x 230 px body text; the pixel spec is kept as the primary claim here (see verificationNotes).

  • Annexure III: Guidelines for Scanning and Upload of Documents - Signature2026-07-10

    Applicant signs on white paper with black ink pen. Preferred dimensions 140 x 60 pixels, file size 10-20 KB, not more than 20 KB. Signature must NOT be in capital letters and must match the signature given at the exam centre or the candidate is disqualified.

CBSE CTET September 2026 Information Bulletin

The CTET September 2026 window is closed and no next edition is announced yet, but the exam itself is on 06.09.2026 (about two months out) and CTET photo/signature keywords carry steady P1 search demand (~1,000/month); re-check ctet.nic.in periodically for a next-edition notification, an admit-card notice, or any corrigendum to the photo/signature rules.

  • Front-matter 'IMPORTANT NOTES', online upload step (duplicated verbatim in Appendix-IV, PDF p.27, STEP3(ii) 'Upload Scanned Images of latest Photograph and Signature')2026-07-10

    Stated identically on PDF p.3 (front matter) and PDF p.27 (Appendix-IV) of the bulletin.

The raw downloaded-PDF page for this appendix is 32; the bulletin's own internal footer numbers this page differently, which is the source of an earlier citation slip corrected here.

  • Public Notice F.No. CBSE/CTET/SEPTEMBER-2026, dated 12.06.2026 (bilingual English/Hindi)2026-07-10

    Independently reconfirms the correction window is 15.06.2026 (Monday) to 18.06.2026 (Thursday) with no exceptions after that date, and confirms this cycle is CTET's 22nd edition, referencing an earlier Public Notice dated 08.05.2026.

Live photo may be captured by web cam or by front camera (screen side camera) of the mobile phone.' An 'Important Note' warns that submitting an image of a printed or digital pre-existing photograph causes summary rejection. Confirms no photo-upload artifact exists for this exam's current cycle.

SSC Constable (GD) 2026 Notice of Examination

SSC GD signature keywords carry real search demand, but the GD 2026 window is fully closed and the next cycle (GD 2027) is only month-level tentative for September-October 2026. Recheck ssc.gov.in before that window and re-verify all rules the moment the GD 2027 Notice of Examination is published.

  • Application-module instructions, item 21 - 'Upload your signature as specified below'2026-07-10

    GD 2026 notice, item 21 (corroborated at para 8.7 page 10, item 11 page 29, and the application-form screenshot page 56): scanned signature in JPEG/JPG format, 10 KB to 20 KB, image dimension about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height) at a resolution of 300 DPI; blurred/miniature or non-horizontally-aligned signatures are rejected.

  • Annexure-III (1/4) - signature cut-out box2026-07-10

    Official annexure image: 'Candidates are advised to cut the box and then sign within the box such that signature occupies at least 80% of the box.'

  • Para 8.4-8.5 - live photograph capture2026-07-10

    Notice states no pre-existing photograph is required: the Online Application Module captures a real-time photograph of the candidate, and 'in no case should the candidate capture the photograph of his/her pre-existing photograph' -- such forms are rejected summarily. No artifact is generated for this because SSC captures it live in the portal.

  • 20. Important instructions to candidates, item 4 - OTR non-Aadhaar identity documents2026-07-10

    Candidates who decline Aadhaar-based authentication during One-Time Registration (OTR) must upload Proof of Name (Voter ID Card, PAN Card, Driving License, Government ID Card, Government Service Identity Card, Pension Document -- six items), plus Proof of Date of Birth, Proof of Address, Photograph and Proof of Gender. The notice states no KB/pixel/format rule for any of these documents, so no artifact or resizer is built for them here.

SSC CHSL (10+2) 2025 Notice of Examination

SSC CHSL 2026's own notice has not been published on ssc.gov.in as of 2026-07-10; watch for it so the internal 6.0 cm vs 4.0 cm signature-width conflict can be resolved (or reconfirmed) and this page can flip from launchStatus 'blocked' to 'ready'.

  • Notice cover page - schedule table2026-07-10

    CHSL 2025 cycle dates (historical reference only, not a live window): online application 23.06.2025-18.07.2025, correction window 23.07.2025-24.07.2025 (23:00), printed Tier-I schedule 08.09.2025-18.09.2025 (later superseded by an actual Tier-I of 12.11.2025-30.11.2025 per subsequent SSC updates), Tier-II tentatively February-March 2026.

  • Notice of Examination, Section 9 'How to apply', para 9.62026-07-10

    Scanned signature must be JPEG/JPG, 10-20 KB. Para 9.6 (page 12) and Important Instructions item (o) (page 34) both state the image dimension should be about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height); Annexure-IV's sample walkthrough (page 53) instead states about 4.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height) for the same rule. Height is consistent everywhere; width is not. This preset uses the 6.0 cm x 2.0 cm figure (aspect ratio 3) as the dominant operative-instruction value.

  • Notice of Examination, para 9.4-9.5 (photograph)2026-07-10

    The photograph is captured live: 'the candidate is not required to have a pre-existing photograph of himself/herself... In no case should the candidate capture the photographs of his/her pre-existing photograph.' Capture happens via webcam inside the SSC application module or, if unavailable, via the official SSC Android app (QR code link at the Upload Documents step). No pre-existing photo file is ever uploaded, so SarkariDoc does not build a CHSL photo artifact.

  • Important Instructions item (d), and Annexure-III Part-A (One-Time Registration, non-Aadhaar path), pages 31-32 and 41-422026-07-10

    Candidates who decline Aadhaar-based OTR authentication must instead upload Proof of Name, Proof of Date of Birth, Proof of Address, a Photograph, and Proof of Gender documents. No file format, KB range or pixel/cm dimension is stated for any of these documents anywhere in the notice, so this conditional, no-spec upload is described here rather than built as a SarkariDoc artifact.

Rule change log

  • 2026-09-04Signature width conflict (6.0 cm at para 9.6 vs 4.0 cm at Annexure-IV) is now acknowledged on the record, not just noted in prose: this preset applies 6.0 cm x 2.0 cm because the operative 'How to Apply' instructions govern the upload step.

  • Guideline for Scanning the Documents > Signature, Left Thumb (LT) impression and Handwriting declaration Image2026-07-10

    Signature/handwritten declaration in CAPITAL LETTERS is explicitly not accepted, and a signature that does not match the one later given on the attendance sheet/call letter at the exam centre leads to disqualification.

    OFFICIAL (upsssc.gov.in, HTTP 200 from an India client, 2026-08-10): 'The photo image dimension (3.5 cm width, 4.5 cm height) ... is required to be scanned and stored in (*.jpe,*.jpeg,*.jpg) format.' and 'Ensure that the size of the scanned photo image is between 50KB to 100KB.' No DPI/pixel value is given, so only the aspect ratio is carried.

  • Guidelines for Uploading Scanned Snap and Signature (points 3-4, 6-8)2026-08-10

    OFFICIAL (upsssc.gov.in, HTTP 200 from an India client, 2026-08-10): 'sign image dimension (3.5 cm width, 1.5 cm height) ... stored in (*.jpe,*.jpeg,*.jpg) format', 'Ensure that ... the sign image is between 20KB to 50KB', 'The applicant has to sign in full in the box provided', 'Signature in CAPITAL LETTERS is not permitted', 'The signature will be used to put on the Hall Ticket'. Guideline point 5 mentions a stray '20 KB' scanner-DPI line that contradicts the 50-100 KB photo range in point 4 — point 4 is the authoritative size rule; do not 'correct' the photo range to match the stray line.

  • UPSSSC online application instructions (English)2026-08-10

    OFFICIAL (upsssc.gov.in, HTTP 200, 2026-08-10): confirms the candidate scans a photograph together with a signature put on white paper and UPLOADS it in the prescribed format — the artifacts are candidate-uploaded, not captured live by the portal.
