GATE photo and signature size

GATE is more relaxed on file size but strict on proportions: the photograph must be between 200 × 260 and 530 × 690 px at 5–600 KB, and the signature between 250 × 80 and 580 × 180 px at 3–300 KB, with a width-to-height ratio between 2.75 and 3.75.

Getting it right first time

  • Eyes and face towards the camera, nothing covering the face.

Common questions

Will the GATE portal definitely accept the file?

FormReady guarantees the format, the dimensions and the file size, measured in real bytes before download. Portals also judge content: a recent photo, a plain background, a visible face, a signature in running hand. Those parts are yours.

What if my notification shows different numbers?

Use yours. These values come from recent the organising IIT notices, and portals change them between cycles. Every field stays editable after you press Apply, so type in the figures from your own notification.

GATE ke liye photo aur signature ka size kaise set karein?

Upar Apply dabayein: dimension, DPI aur KB range FormReady mein pehle se bhar jaate hain. Apni photo ya signature upload karein aur download karein. File asli bytes mein naapi jaati hai, isliye portal par size wali galti nahin aati.
