Common questions
Why does UPSC reject a photo that is exactly 350 × 350?
Usually because of the KB range or a missing name and date. Check the file is between 20 and 300 KB and carries the printed details the notice describes.
Will the UPSC 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 UPSC notices, and portals change them between cycles. Every field stays editable after you press Apply, so type in the figures from your own notification.
