Common Rejection Reasons
The unusual 3.5×1.5cm shape means a passport-style photo prepared for another UPSC exam (like CSE's square OTR format) will not fit and must be re-cropped specifically for CAPF AC.
Submitting a photo without the required printed date directly on the image is a distinct CAPF AC-specific rejection reason not seen on most other UPSC forms.

UPSC CAPF (Assistant Commandant) recruits Group A gazetted officers across BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, and SSB. Both the photo and signature are specified at an unusually compact 3.5cm×1.5cm, between 20KB and 300KB — a notably different, wider ratio than the passport-style photos used by most other exams, and worth double-checking against the current notification since this shape is atypical even among UPSC's own exam family. The photo must also include the date it was taken, printed directly on the image, with a light background.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the CAPF AC photo such an unusual shape?
UPSC specifies a compact 3.5×1.5cm format for CAPF AC — notably different from the passport-style photos used elsewhere, including UPSC's own CSE/NDA/CDS exams. Double-check this against your current notification since it's an atypical shape.
Does the CAPF AC photo need a printed date?
Yes — UPSC requires the photograph date to be printed directly on the image, with a light background.
