How we check our data

A wrong photo size or typing rule can get a form rejected, so every number here has to come from the exam’s own notice.

Our rules

  • Official notices only. Sizes, KB limits, typing speeds, times and error rules are read in the notice, the official instructions or the official website. Coaching and news sites are never a source.
  • Every value says where it came from: the document, the year and the date we last checked it, shown on the page.
  • “Checked” or “to verify”. “Checked” means we read it in the official document itself. “To verify” means it comes from an older notice or a secondary source; those pages show a warning.
  • We never guess. If a notice gives no size, we say so and let you enter the size your form asks for.
  • Re-checked every month against the official sites, and whenever a new notice comes out.
  • Found a mistake? Write to [email protected] with the exam and a link to the notice. Corrections are listed below.

These exams have at least one value we could not yet read in the current official notice:

RRB NTPC · Agniveer Clerk / SKT · RSSB Clerk Grade-II / Junior Assistant · UPSSSC Junior Assistant · UPPSC (one-time registration)
