What the notice says
The September 2026 CTET bulletin says uploading a scanned photograph and signature is mandatory, both in JPG or JPEG. The photograph is 10 KB to 100 KB and 3.5 cm wide by 4.5 cm high. It should be your latest photograph, because it is matched at the centre.
The signature is 3 KB to 30 KB and 3.5 cm long by 1.5 cm high. The bulletin does not print a DPI or a pixel size. The pixels in the tool are a 300 DPI conversion and are marked unverified.

Why these files get rejected
- Photograph outside 10–100 KB, or signature outside 3–30 KB.
- A photograph that is not 3.5 cm by 4.5 cm, or a signature that is not 3.5 cm by 1.5 cm, if the portal checks dimensions.
- PNG or PDF instead of JPG.
- An old photograph that does not match you at the centre. The bulletin says the upload is there to avoid that mismatch.
- Submitting more than one application. The bulletin says a duplicate application can cancel the candidature.
