Common rejection reasons for Uttarakhand PSC

1. Using central-exam dimensions from outdated advice. Uttarakhand PSC follows the state notification, not SSC or UPSC specs. Forum posts from other states frequently cite the wrong pixel size.

2. Background not plain white. State PSC online forms run automated background checks similar to SSC — off-white walls and shadows fail even when dimensions are correct.

3. Signature file does not match photo name. Some state boards cross-check signature legibility against the application name. Illegible or stylised signatures get sent back.

4. File outside the KB window. Uttarakhand PSC typically expects 20–50 KB in JPG. Candidates often over-compress to "be safe" and fall below the minimum.

5. Wrong file name or upload field. Uploading the signature file into the photo field — or using spaces and special characters in the filename — causes silent failures on state portals.

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 Uttarakhand PSC online form.
4. Prepare your signature separately if the application asks for one.
