GATE upload requirements
These are the typical documented values (checked Jul 2026). the official GATE site is hosted by a different IIT/IISc each year — search “GATE (year) official website”. Portals reject wrong sizes at upload — this page fixes each file to spec and checks your photo's quality automatically, entirely in your browser.
| Upload | Dimensions | File size |
|---|---|---|
| Photograph | 480×640 px | 5–200 KB · JPEG |
| Signature | 400×130 px | 3–100 KB · JPEG |
How it works
- Add each upload — photo from your phone is fine; signatures/thumb/declaration photographed on white paper. Everything is auto-fixed to exact pixels & KB, and the photo is quality-checked automatically.
- Pick the stage you're at — exam day, verification or counselling — and upload each document into its slot. We validate formats, convert photos to PDFs, unlock password-protected files and flag anything off.
- Build one PDF (with a ✓ checklist cover) or a ZIP — your proof that every document is in and correctly prepared.
