Live photo
Verified from official notice on 10 November 2026.
Paras 9.4–9.5 and Annexure-IV: the application module captures a live photograph via webcam/mobile. No pre-existing photograph file is to be uploaded, and no file-size or pixel target is stated for the live capture. Plain background, good light, camera at eye level, full face inside the delineated area, no cap, mask, or spectacles. Appearance in the exam must match the captured photo. Do not photograph a printed photo. Aadhaar-authenticated applications are exempted from rejection on photo/signature-standard grounds (para 9.3).

Centimetres are drawn at 300 dpi because the notice does not state a dpi.
INTERNAL CONFLICT in the same official notice: the operative 'How to apply' paragraphs 9.6 and the later 'Important Instructions' block both say JPEG/JPG 10 to 20 KB and about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height). Annexure-IV (Part-II Online Application Form) repeats 10 to 20 KB JPEG/JPG but says about 4.0 cm (Width) x 2.0 cm (Height). width_cm/height_cm here follow para 9.6. Do not treat 4.0 cm as a second official target without a corrigendum. Blurred/miniature signatures are rejected (Aadhaar-auth exemption as in 9.3/9.6). PwD(VH) thumb impression is also allowed in Annexure-IV, with no size given (see ssc-cgl-2026-thumb-pwd-vh).

Annexure-IV para 1.b: 'For the PwD(VH) candidates, the thumb impression is also allowed.' No format, KB, pixel, or cm specification is stated for the thumb file. formats/min_kb/max_kb left null.
