Common reasons this exam rejects the file

• Uploaded photograph outside 10–200 KB or not JPG/JPEG.
• Face coverage under about 80%, ears hidden, a mask, or a background that is not white.
• Signature outside 10–100 KB or not JPG/JPEG.
• Live photograph, captured in the form, that does not show 80% of the face on a light background. The bulletin requires this live capture in addition to the scanned file.
• Using someone else’s photograph or signature. The bulletin treats that as unfair means.
• Class 10 marksheet uploaded as a JPEG. That document is a PDF of 50–300 KB.

Questions people ask about this notice

What is the JEE Main 2026 photo size?

JPG/JPEG between 10 KB and 200 KB, recent colour passport size, 80% of the face including ears, no mask, white background. The bulletin states no pixel dimensions.

What is the JEE Main signature size?

JPG/JPEG between 10 KB and 100 KB, clearly legible. No centimetre or pixel size is printed in the bulletin.

Is a live photo required as well?

Yes. Step 2 of the application procedure says the candidate uploads a live photograph while filling the form, by webcam or by scanning the QR code, with a light-coloured background and 80% of the face visible including the ears, without a mask.

Some articles say 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm and 10–300 KB. Which is right?

Those figures are not what this bulletin prints. The October 2025 JEE (Main) 2026 bulletin says 10–200 KB for the photograph and 10–100 KB for the signature, with no centimetre size. This page follows the bulletin.
