If you have ever applied for a government job, teacher recruitment (NTRCA), railway circular, or BCS exam in Bangladesh, you know how strict the online application portals are. Even a 1-pixel variance or a file 1 kilobyte over the limit causes instant upload rejection.
Official Image Dimension & File Size Specifications
All online job application portals managed via the Teletalk system enforce identical technical parameters across departments:
- Applicant Photo: Exactly 300 × 300 pixels (width × height), file size must not exceed 100 KB, format must be JPG/JPEG.
- Applicant Signature: Exactly 300 × 80 pixels (width × height), file size must not exceed 60 KB, format must be JPG/JPEG.
Why Portals Reject Photo & Signature Uploads
Automated servers validate files before storing them. The three most common reasons for rejection include:
- Stretched Aspect Ratio: Squeezing a rectangular photo into a 300×300 square causes facial distortion. Your source photo should be cropped into a 1:1 square before final scaling.
- Hidden File Size Bloat: Saving images at maximum camera quality often results in files between 500 KB and 3 MB, far exceeding the 100 KB and 60 KB thresholds.
- Background Shadows on Signatures: Photographing a signature under dim indoor light produces a gray or brownish background that makes the signature difficult to read on printed admit cards.
How to Capture and Prepare a Clean Signature
To produce an acceptable digital signature without a scanner:
- Sign clearly in black or dark blue ink on crisp white paper.
- Take a steady photo in bright natural daylight to avoid casting phone shadows.
- Use our online Signature & Photo Resizer to select the signature area and crop it directly to 300×80 pixels under 60 KB.
Step-by-Step: Resizing Photo & Signature on ADF PDF
- Open the Signature & Photo Resizer tool.
- Upload your portrait photo and select the 300×300 (Photo) preset. Adjust the crop boundary over your head and shoulders, then download.
- Upload your signature image and select the 300×80 (Signature) preset. Align the crop box around your signature text and download.
- Upload both verified JPG files directly into your Teletalk job application form.
If you also need to assemble admit cards, applications, and certificates into a single file for viva verification, you can bundle them using our Merge PDF tool.
