CTET 2026 photo & signature rules
Beyond the size, the CTET 2026 portal expects the photograph to follow these rules. Check each one before you upload.
- Use a recent photograph — typically one taken within the last 3–6 months.
- Face the camera directly, with a full front view of your face.
- Do not wear a cap or hat; your head must be uncovered. Religious head coverings that do not hide the face are usually allowed.
- If you wear spectacles, make sure there is no glare and your eyes are clearly visible.
Signature
- Sign in black ink.
- Use your normal running (cursive) signature, not block capitals.
- Do not sign in capital letters.
Common reasons CTET 2026 photos get rejected
Most rejections come down to a handful of avoidable mistakes:
- The photo is not exactly 35×45 mm. Portals validate the dimensions and reject images that are even slightly off.
- The file size is outside the 10–100 KB range — the image is either too large or compressed too far.
- The background is not white, or it is patterned or shadowed.
- The photo is not saved as a JPEG file.
- The photograph is old — an outdated photo can be rejected.
- A cap, hat or head covering hides part of the face.
- Spectacles cause glare or hide the eyes.
- The face is blurred, over-exposed, tilted, or not centred and clearly visible.
- The signature is not within / 3–30 KB, is signed in capitals, or is not in dark ink on white paper.
