Common rejection reasons for SSC GD Constable

1. Blurry or dark photograph. Police recruitment emphasises clear identification. Low light, motion blur, or heavy phone beauty filters fail both automated and manual review.

2. Wrong aspect ratio from passport crop. SSC GD Constable uses 200 × 230 px, not the 35×45 mm passport rectangle. Reusing a passport file without re-cropping is a frequent mistake.

3. Cap, sunglasses, or face partially covered. Uniform and grooming rules are strict. Anything obscuring the face — even partial — triggers rejection.

4. Signature not matching the notification ink rule. Black ink on white paper is the safe default. Blue ink, pencil, or scanned photocopies of a signature fail upload validators.

5. File size outside up to 50 KB. Both under- and over-compression cause problems. Target the middle of the allowed range after correct cropping.

Fix yours in 30 seconds

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