UGC-NET (NTA) Photo & Signature Size
UGC-NET decides eligibility for Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship across the humanities, social sciences, commerce, languages and education. The five science streams are examined separately through Joint CSIR-UGC NET; check the current subject list rather than assuming which body covers yours. ⚠ The signature limit is disputed: the June 2026 information bulletin gives 4-30 KB in its application-procedure section and 10-50 KB elsewhere in the same document. This tool targets 10-30 KB, the range that satisfies both readings, so a file it produces is valid either way. Take the binding figure from the live application screen. The photograph is 10-200 KB, JPG or JPEG, with no fixed pixel dimensions published. That bulletin also introduces a live-photograph capture step, so read the current cycle's notice rather than working from an earlier one.

Application-specific notes for UGC-NET
- The bulletin states two different signature limits. In its application-procedure section the signature is 4 KB to 30 KB; later in the same document it is 10 KB to 50 KB. This tool targets 10-30 KB, the overlap, so a file it produces satisfies either reading. Take the binding figure from the live application screen.
- A photograph found to be fabricated — de-shaped, or appearing hand-made or computer-made — is treated as unfair means rather than as a formatting error, with consequences beyond the form being returned. Resize and compress a real photograph; do not reconstruct one.
- The photograph is uploaded against a white background and is also the image used at the centre, so print a copy of the same file rather than using a different sitting.
About this exam
UGC-NET (National Eligibility Test) is conducted by NTA for eligibility as Assistant Professor and for Junior Research Fellowship; NTA specifies photo and signature file size and format but no fixed pixel dimensions.
UGC-NET uses file limits, not a fixed pixel canvas
The UGC-NET bulletin records the photograph at 10–200 KB and the signature at 10–30 KB, both in JPG / JPEG. It does not publish fixed photo or signature pixels, so preserve a clear source image and compress it into the listed bands instead of forcing it into a borrowed 200×230 template.
Keep this application separate from CSIR-NET
UGC-NET is the NTA eligibility examination for Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship recorded by this preset. Although its file bands match the joint CSIR-UGC NET record, use the UGC-NET bulletin and application session named on this page. Matching KB values do not make the two registrations interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions
What is the photo size for the UGC-NET (NTA) application?
The stored UGC-NET (NTA) target is 10–200 KB, in JPG / JPEG format. This tool resizes and compresses a prepared photo to that target; confirm the active form before submitting.
What is the signature size for UGC-NET (NTA)?
The stored signature target is 10–30 KB, in JPG / JPEG format. Follow the current notice's ink and paper instructions, then upload it here to clean and resize it.
How do I resize my photo to 10–200 KB for UGC-NET (NTA)?
Upload your photo and the tool compresses it to the stored UGC-NET (NTA) target without stretching or distorting it. Everything runs in your browser.
What should I check before submitting UGC-NET (NTA) files?
Compare the exported photo with the stored 10–200 KB photo and 10–30 KB signature bands, recorded formats, then inspect the image for blur and low contrast. Inspect the signature separately for faint strokes and excess paper. Confirm every stored value against the active form; the tool cannot predict acceptance.
Is this UGC-NET (NTA) resizer free and private?
Yes — free, no watermark, no sign-up, and your photo never leaves your device. All processing happens in your browser.
Where can I confirm the official UGC-NET (NTA) requirements?
Always verify the current limits on the official source (UGC-NET June 2026 — Information Bulletin) before submitting, as requirements can change between notification cycles.
