Frequently Asked Questions
Q:How often are the exam specifications in this database updated?
Our radar is synchronized with the latest official recruitment notifications issued by UPSC, SSC, IBPS, NTA, RRB, and State PSCs. Any rule changes (such as SSC live webcam capture or UPSC 10-day photo validity) are reflected immediately.
Q:Why do different exams have different photo dimension rules?
Different exam boards use distinct server architectures and legacy software. For example, SSC requires a 3.5cm x 4.5cm vertical portrait (20-50KB), whereas UPSC requires a square 350x350px image (20-300KB) with candidate name and date printed at the base.
Q:Can I directly resize my photo from this radar?
Yes! Every exam card in the radar features a direct "Pre-Calibrated Tool" button that instantly loads the exact dimension and byte limits into our Kagazo processing engine.
Q:What is the most common reason for online application form rejection?
Over 75% of form rejections are caused by non-compliant photos and signatures: including blurry signatures, photos with non-white backgrounds, files outside specified byte boundaries, and missing date stamps.
