For the Central Warehousing Corporation Assistant Manager and Junior Executive Recruitment 2026, the photo must be 200×230 pixels, 20–50 KB, in JPG format on a white background. The signature must be 140×60 pixels and 10–20 KB. Resize yours with the tool above. It's free and runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Upload a recent colour passport-style photo, 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm, 200 x 230 pixels (preferred), 20 KB to 50 KB, JPG or JPEG, on a light background, preferably white. CWC doesn't accept caps, hats or dark glasses; religious headwear is fine if it doesn't cover your face. The form also asks for a live photo taken with your webcam or phone (Capture Photo, or scan the QR code), so you need both the uploaded file and the live photo. Applications are open from 17 October to 15 November 2026.

About the CWC application form
The Central Warehousing Corporation Assistant Manager and Junior Executive Recruitment 2026 is conducted by the Central Warehousing Corporation. The online application portal has strict requirements for photo and signature uploads — images outside the specified dimensions or file size are automatically rejected.
For the photograph, you need a colour image of 200×230 pixels with file size between 20 KB and 50 KB, saved in JPG format with a white background. The signature must be 140×60 pixels and between 10 and 20 KB.
Common reasons CWC forms get rejected
- File size over 50 KB (most common — phone photos are often 2–5 MB).
- Dimensions not exactly 200×230 pixels.
- Coloured or patterned background — the form asks for a plain white background.
- Wrong file format. The notice asks for JPG.
- Signature on lined or coloured paper instead of plain white.
Tips and tricks for the CWC upload
- 1Final-year students can't apply. You need the final mark sheet or certificate in hand by 15 November 2026; a result that comes out after that date doesn't count.
- 2The form needs four files: photo, signature, left thumb impression and a hand-written declaration. Your application won't register until you upload all four, so make them before you start.
- 3Write the declaration in your own handwriting, in English, using the exact text from the notice: "I, (Name of the candidate), hereby declare that all the information submitted by me in the application form is correct, true and valid. I will present the supporting documents as and when required."
- 4Keep printed copies of the photo you upload and don't change your look until the process is over. CWC can disqualify you if you can't show the same photo at a later stage.
- 5You can apply for more than one post, but each post needs its own form and its own fee. If you submit two forms for the same post, only the latest complete one stays and the other fee is lost.
- 6For Assistant Manager (Finance), articleship doesn't count toward the three years of experience. Only regular employment does.
