CUET UG photograph: what is specific to this exam

These CUET UG 2026 rules come from the NTA notice “CUET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin”, page 10, last checked on 22 Oct 2026. The CUET UG form usually opens around January–February.

From our CUET UG notes

CUET UG is the lightest NTA form for uploads. Most candidates need only two files: a photo and a signature. The catch is the signature limit, which is tighter than in NEET or JEE Main.
Photo. A recent colour passport-size photo on a white background. Your face, including both ears, should cover about 80% of the image, without a mask. The limit is 10–200 KB in JPG. NTA gives no pixel size, so SahiSize uses 3.5×4.5 cm proportions and only shrinks the image if it would go over 200 KB.
Take the photo in daylight facing a window. Keep the camera at eye level.
Print a few copies of the same photo file. The bulletin asks for an additional photo, the same as the uploaded one, on the attendance sheet at the centre.
During the form you also capture a live photo by webcam or by scanning a QR code with your phone. It is compared with your Aadhaar photo, so avoid new glasses or a cap.

NEET UG, JEE Main and UGC NET use the same photograph size as CUET UG (10–200 KB · JPG), so one file passes all these forms while the photo is still recent. NEET UG sizes · JEE Main sizes · UGC NET sizes

Upload errors and how to fix them

These are the messages the CUET UG portal shows. Each one has a fix.

Error: File size should be between 10 kb to 200 kb: Fix: Your CUET photo is too big (or below 10 KB). Phone photos are 2–5 MB; Auto-fit brings it inside 10–200 KB without changing what you look like.
Error: Signature file size should be between 10 kb to 50 kb: Fix: The signature limit is smaller than the photo limit. Crop tight around the ink and Auto-fit to 10–50 KB.
Error: Live photo not matched: Fix: The live photo did not match Aadhaar. Retake it in better light without a cap or new glasses. If it still fails, NTA asks for the attested photo certificate from the bulletin annexure.

CUET UG photograph questions

Do I need to paste a photo anywhere later?

Yes. An additional photo, the same as the one uploaded, is pasted on the attendance sheet at the centre. Print a few copies of the same file.

Does CUET ask for a Class 10 certificate upload?

Not in the 2026 bulletin. Only the photo, signature and, where applicable, the disability certificate and an ID proof.
