Key Difference: RRB vs SSC Photo Limit

RRB NTPC has a 40 KB photo limit while SSC allows up to 50 KB. This is a common mistake — aspirants use their SSC photo (which may be 48 KB) for RRB NTPC and get rejected. Always re-compress to 40 KB specifically for Railway forms.

⚠️ RRB NTPC signature is stricter: The signature must be 5–15 KB — very small. Make sure your signature scan is clean and the background is white. A scan with a grey or yellowish background will be larger in file size. Use our White Scan Fix preset to clean it up before resizing.
