CTET signature: what is specific to this exam

From our CTET notes
- CTET is one of the few exams that gives both a physical size and a KB range for each file. The photo is 3.5 cm wide by 4.5 cm high at 10–100 KB, and the signature is 3.5 cm long by 1.5 cm high at 3–30 KB. Both must be JPG/JPEG, and both uploads are mandatory.
- Signature. Sign inside a wide, short box on white paper, roughly twice as wide as you would for a cheque. That keeps your signature near the 3.5×1.5 shape so it is not squashed.
- CTET's signature range starts at 3 KB, far lower than most exams. You will rarely hit the minimum; the bigger risk is a signature photo taken at full phone resolution, which can be several megabytes. Auto-fit takes it down to the 3–30 KB range.

Upload errors and how to fix them
These are the messages the CTET portal shows. Each one has a fix.
- Error:
Invalid file size
- Fix: CTET checks the KB range strictly: photo 10–100 KB, signature 3–30 KB. Auto-fit lands inside both.
- Error:
Invalid file type
- Fix: Only JPG/JPEG is accepted for photo and signature. SahiSize converts HEIC, PNG and WebP to a real JPG.
- Error:
Photo and signature are not clear
- Fix: Retake in daylight against a plain wall; for the signature use a dark pen on white paper and keep Clean signature on.
CTET signature questions
Why is the CTET signature limit so low (3 KB)?
CTET allows a very small signature file, 3–30 KB. That is easy to hit: a clean signature at 276×118 px is usually 8–20 KB.
Is the signature measured as length × height?
Yes: 3.5 cm long and 1.5 cm high. Sign in a wide, short box on white paper so the signature keeps that shape when cropped.
Do I need a thumb impression or declaration for CTET?
No. CTET asks only for the photo and signature; both uploads are mandatory.
