Common Rejection Reasons
GATE's organizing IIT/IISc changes every year, so a size range from a previous year's brochure may no longer be accurate.
An application marked "defective" isn't automatic rejection — but missing the re-upload window forfeits your correction chance.
How to Resize in 3 Steps
Upload a photo, or capture one directly with your camera.
Fine-tune the KB target and any enhancements you need.

GATE, conducted by a different IIT/IISc each year, has photo and signature specifications that shift slightly across cycles more than most exams — recent brochures cite a photo between 5KB and 200KB (3.5×4.5cm) and a signature within a similarly wide range, often specified as fitting inside a physical 2cm×7cm box rather than a fixed pixel size. Because the organizing institute changes annually, always cross-check the current year's official brochure rather than relying on a previous cycle's figures — this is one of the exams where specs genuinely do move year to year.
Frequently asked questions
Why do GATE photo specs seem to change every year?
A different IIT or IISc organizes GATE each year, and each publishes its own brochure — always check the current year's official specifications rather than a previous cycle's.
What is the GATE photo size?
Typically 5KB to 200KB, 3.5×4.5cm, JPEG/JPG, white background — verify against your specific year's brochure.
What if my GATE application is marked "defective"?
You'll be notified via email/SMS and given a window to re-upload corrected photo/signature — it does not mean automatic rejection.
