Common questions

Powered by AI

Candidates should provide their left thumb impression on white paper using a blue or black stamp pad, ensuring the image is not smudged, skewed, or blurry. The thumb should be straight when the impression is taken to maintain clarity and resolution. The final image must be under 80 KB .

Candidates are advised against wearing hats or dark glasses to ensure that no part of the face is obscured, allowing clear and full visibility of facial features, which is crucial for identification purposes during application processing and examination admissions .

Taking a photograph against a light-coloured background, preferably white, ensures that the candidate's features stand out clearly and reduces the likelihood of harsh shadows, which can affect the visibility of the facial features .

If the applicant's signature on the attendance sheet does not match the signature on the Hall Ticket during the exam, the applicant will be disqualified, as this is a measure to prevent impersonation and ensure the integrity of the examination process .

Candidates must sign their name on white paper using a black ink/gel pen, avoiding block letters, and ensuring that the signature is in their own handwriting. The signature must be clear, and the file size should not exceed 80 KB. It will be used on both the Hall Ticket and in any situation where verification is needed .

Candidates should click on the designated links for uploading photographs, signatures, and LTI, browse to locate the saved files, select them, and then click the 'Upload' button. It’s essential to choose only the area with the required image and reduce the file size if necessary using tools like MS Paint .

The scanning specifications require setting the scanner resolution to a minimum of 200 dpi and the color setting to True Color. Images should be in JPG or JPEG format with file sizes not exceeding 80 KB for photographs and 50 KB for signatures and thumb impressions. Additionally, tools like MS Paint can be used to save and resize images .

If a candidate is missing both thumbs, they may use the impression of any left hand finger. Should the candidate have no fingers available, a toe impression can be taken. The candidate must specify this situation in a handwritten declaration if left thumb impressions cannot be uploaded .

An application might be rejected if the photograph, signature, or thumb impression is unclear, smudged, or does not meet the specified standards, as these can prevent accurate identification and verification of the candidate during subsequent stages .

Compliance with file format and size is critical to ensure that the online application system can process and manage files efficiently. Files must be in JPG/JPEG format and under specified sizes to ensure they upload correctly, maintain quality, and fit within system constraints .
