Tips to get it right the first time
- Limits change between cycles: check the photo section of the current UPSC notice before uploading.
- Use the same recent photo you will carry to the exam; it is matched against your face at the venue.
- The signature is a separate JPG: sign in black ink on white paper, as the notice describes.
How to do it with Requisito Listo
- Open the «UPSC application photo» template in the app.
- Take the photo with the on-screen guide (or pick one from your gallery).
- The app centers your face, makes the background white and gets the exact size and file weight.
- Check the checklist, then upload or save it.
At the end you'll see a checklist: size, file weight, background and format. If something doesn't comply, it tells you what to fix before the portal rejects it.
