SSC MTS & Havaldar signature: what is specific to this exam

These SSC MTS & Havaldar 2025 rules come from the SSC notice “Notice: Multi-Tasking (Non-Technical) Staff and Havaldar (CBIC & CBN) Examination, 2025 (F.No. E/15/2025-C-2, dated 26.06.2025)”, page 13, last checked on 22 Oct 2026. The SSC MTS & Havaldar form usually opens around June–July.

From our SSC MTS & Havaldar notes

• SSC MTS (Multi-Tasking Staff) and Havaldar (CBIC & CBN) are filled through a single form. The 2025 cycle is the latest we have values for, and the form usually opens around June–July. The photo is captured live; the signature is the upload you prepare.
• One signature file: JPG, 10–20 KB, about 6.0×2.0 cm (about 472×157 px at 200 DPI), black ink on white paper.
• You can sign in any script. What matters is that it is your usual signature, it is clear, and it is not tiny. Use the same signature on the attendance sheet at the exam.
• Many MTS applicants apply at a cafe. You can still make the signature yourself:
• SSC states that blurred and miniature signatures are rejected summarily. "Miniature" means a small signature with lots of empty white space around it. A tight crop and Clean signature solve it.

Upload errors and how to fix them

These are the messages the SSC MTS & Havaldar portal shows. Each one has a fix.

Error: Applications with blurred/miniature signatures will be rejected summarily

Fix: This line is in the SSC MTS notice. "Miniature" means the ink is tiny inside a big white image. Crop close to the signature so the ink fills most of the 6×2 cm box; Clean signature does this for you.

Error: File size should be between 10 KB and 20 KB

Fix: A plain signature often saves below 10 KB. Auto-fit raises the quality (and adds invisible padding if needed) to land between 10 and 20 KB.

Error: Invalid file format

Fix: The signature must be JPEG/JPG. Do not upload a PNG screenshot or a PDF scan.
