Tips to Avoid Document Rejection

  • Photo and signature must be JPG — PNG, PDF, BMP are not accepted
  • Files below the minimum size (20 KB for photo, 10 KB for signature) will be rejected
  • Do not just rename a PNG file to JPG — convert it properly using an image editor
  • Signature must be on plain white paper — lined or colored paper causes rejection
  • Face in photo must be fully visible — no dark glasses, no caps (except religious headwear)
  • Enter educational details exactly from your marksheet — any mismatch at verification can disqualify you
  • Keep all original documents safe — you will need them at the interview/document verification stage
