- Wear plain dark, non-white clothes that cover shoulders and chest
- Camera at eye level; look straight with a neutral face and eyes fully open
- Head fills at least half the photo; nothing below the chest in frame
- No cap, mask or glasses; hair or cloth must not cover the face

Upload errors and how to fix them
These are the messages the RRB NTPC (Graduate) portal shows. Each one has a fix.
- Error:
File size should be between 30 KB and 49 KB
- Fix: A clean signature is usually 10–20 KB, so it fails the 30 KB minimum. SahiSize first enlarges the image (still at least 140×60), then raises quality, and only then adds invisible padding until it reaches 30–49 KB.
- Error:
Signature written in BLOCK or CAPITAL letters instead of running handwriting
- Fix: This is an official rejection ground. Sign in joined, running handwriting the way you sign a cheque.
- Error:
Use of a non-white background
- Fix: Lined notebook paper, a yellowish page or a shadow counts as non-white. Sign on plain white paper and keep Clean signature on to make the background pure white.
- Error:
Use of non-black ink for the signature
- Fix: Blue ink is not allowed for RRB. Sign again with a black pen.
- Error:
Live photo not matched with Photo ID
- Fix: If the live photo does not match your ID, the form asks you to download Annexure VIII, get it attested and upload it. Retake the live photo in good light first.

The live photo, in detail
RRB asks that your head fills at least half the photo and nothing below the chest is visible. Keep a neutral face with eyes fully open; the notice says a photo with closed eyes will not be captured. Remove cap, mask and glasses, and keep hair off your face. You can preview and retake until you submit.
Matching later
The live photo is checked against your photo ID. If they do not match, you will be asked to download Annexure VIII, get it attested and upload it. The signature is compared at the CBT, DV, medical and appointment.
Last-week advice
Servers slow down near the last date. Submit early. If the signature upload fails, confirm 30–49 KB and JPG in the Pass check card, then try again outside peak hours.
