REET draws lakhs of applicants every cycle competing for a limited number of teaching posts across Rajasthan, and the exam authority rejects applications outright when the uploaded photo or signature does not match the prescribed format. With such heavy competition for every vacancy, spending an extra two minutes checking your file sizes before you hit submit is worth it.
Below are the exact photo and signature specifications you need, as per the latest official REET notification, so your application clears the first time without needing a correction window.
Photo Size Requirements
Your REET photograph should be sized 3.5cm x 4.5cm, roughly 200 x 230 pixels, with a file size between 20KB and 100KB, uploaded in JPEG format. It should be a recent color photo, ideally not older than six months, taken against a white or light background, with your face making up about 70-80 percent of the frame and looking directly at the camera. Caps, headwear, and sunglasses are not allowed unless worn for religious reasons that do not obscure your face. Sitting for a proper studio photo rather than a home selfie makes it much easier to land inside the correct KB range without losing image quality, and it also gives you a clean, evenly lit background without the shadows a home wall often produces.
Signature Size Requirements
The signature should be sized approximately 3.5cm x 1.5cm, around 140 x 60 pixels, with a file size between 10KB and 50KB, in JPEG format. Sign with black or dark blue ink on plain white paper, and make sure your signature is clear and legible and not written entirely in capital letters. It should be scanned rather than photographed for the sharpest result, since a photographed signature often picks up shadows or an uneven background that a flatbed scan avoids.
Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected
A large share of REET application rejections come down to file size, since candidates upload photos straight from their phone camera without compressing them to fit within the 100KB cap. Uploading a signature in all capital letters instead of a normal running signature is another common error that gets flagged during scrutiny. Some applicants use an old photograph that no longer resembles their current appearance, which creates problems during identity verification at the exam center. Using a format other than JPEG, such as PNG or a screenshot of a scanned PDF, is also a frequent and completely avoidable mistake, as is uploading a signature scanned at an angle instead of straight, or a photo where the background has a visible shadow line behind the head.
