Complete Guide: State Government Exam Photo Resize 2025-2026
State government examinations across India recruit lakhs of candidates annually for administrative services, police, teachers, clerks, and judiciary. Every state has its own PSC and recruitment board with unique photo and signature requirements that changed in 2025-26. Unlike central exams (SSC, UPSC) with standardized specs, state exams differ significantly — UPPSC requires a composite photo+signature image, MPPSC accepts separate uploads at 275×354px, BPSC needs 200×230px, and WBCS uses 138×177px. Using the wrong specification means automatic rejection.
Every year, thousands of applications get rejected due to incorrect photo specifications — wrong dimensions (even 1-2 pixels off), file size out of range, or wrong format. Our tool is pre-loaded with verified 2025-26 specifications for 30+ state exams to eliminate this problem.
