Common rejection reasons for Allahabad HC Clerk

1. Informal attire or poor framing in the photograph. Allahabad HC Clerk expects a professional front-facing portrait — collar visible, neutral expression, plain background. T-shirt crops and casual selfies fail.

2. Background shadows and texture. High court recruitment portals reject grey or textured walls. Even lighting against a plain wall is required before background replacement.

3. Photo not recent enough. Judicial services notifications specify how old a photograph can be. An ID-card scan resized to fit is often too old or too low quality.

4. Signature illegible at required dimensions. Clerk and judicial exams require a clear black signature at 200 × 230 px within 20–50 KB. Faint pen strokes disappear after compression.

5. Wrong upload format. JPG within the stated KB range only. PDF scans of a photo or signature are rejected by the online application system.

Fix yours in 30 seconds

1. Upload your photo above — cropped, background-cleaned and compressed to 20–50 KB.
2. Add name and date on the image if your notification requires it.
3. Download the JPG and upload it to the Allahabad HC Clerk online form.
4. Prepare your signature separately if the application asks for one.
