Common Rejection Reasons
A standard rectangular passport-style photo (like SSC's 200×230px) is rejected outright — NDA requires a minimum 350×350px square photo.

NDA & NA follows UPSC's OTR (One Time Registration) portal, which enforces a distinctive square photo format — minimum 350×350px up to 1000×1000px — unlike the rectangular passport-style photo most other exams use. Uploading a standard 200×230px SSC-style photo is a common and completely avoidable rejection reason here. NDA also requires three identical signatures stacked vertically, one below the other, on a single white sheet in black ink — not a single signature like most exams. Since NDA leads to an SSB interview, keep your uploaded photo genuinely representative of your current appearance.
