What is the UPSC photo size?
A UPSC Civil Services photo is square, 350x350 pixels (and may be accepted up to 1000px), on a white background, at 20-200KB. Your name and the date the photo was taken must be printed at the bottom.
How do I prepare a UPSC signature?
Sign three times vertically on white paper and scan all three as a single image — this is the triple signature rule. Use black ink and cursive handwriting, not block capitals.
How old can a UPSC photo be?
It must have been taken within 10 days of the notification date. This rule is enforced strictly and an older photo is rejected.
