Applying for a job in 2026 requires more than just a selfie. Here are the photo size requirements for govt exams in India.
Standard Dimensions
- SSC / UPSC: 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm.
- IBPS / Banking: 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm.
- Resolution: 200 DPI to 300 DPI.
The Background Rule
Most portals now strictly require a plain white background. Photos with colored walls or patterns are the #1 reason for application rejection.
Facial Coverage
Your face must occupy approximately 70% to 80% of the total photo area. Avoid caps, sunglasses, or bulky headphones that obscure your features.
