This form captures your photo live during the online application (webcam or phone camera) — there is nothing to upload or resize.
JKSSB takes your photo live through your device camera while you fill the form, and the form won't submit until the face check passes. JKSSB does not accept uploaded photos or screenshots for this advertisement (Annexure-A of the instructions notice dated 9 October 2026). Use a laptop webcam or a phone camera in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, sit in even light with no bright window behind you, and take off caps, masks and dark glasses. If the check fails you can try again. Applications run from 14 October to 12 November 2026, 11:59 PM.
The notice gives a range or a physical size, not one exact pixel size. Treat these dimensions as a target and check the notes and the quoted notice text below.
JKSSB asks for a clear signature of 10 KB to 20 KB, 1.5 cm high and 3.5 cm wide (instructions notice of 9 October 2026, point 8; the advertisement also prints 10 KB to 20 KB). It gives no pixel size, so our resizer makes 280 x 120 pixels, the same 3.5 by 1.5 shape at about 200 DPI. The advertisement warns that a blurred or unreadable signature gets the application rejected. Applications close on 12 November 2026 at 11:59 PM.

About the JKSSB Class-IV (MTS) application form
The JKSSB Class-IV (MTS) and Sanitation Worker Recruitment 2026 (Advt. No. 09 of 2026) is conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB). The online application portal has strict requirements for photo and signature uploads — images outside the specified dimensions or file size are automatically rejected.
The photograph is captured live by the online application (or the authority's app) — you don't upload or resize a photo. The signature should be about 280×120 pixels and between 10 and 20 KB.
Common reasons JKSSB Class-IV (MTS) forms get rejected
- A live photo that breaks the photo rules in the notice.
- Live photo too dark or blurred.
- Wrong file format. The notice asks for JPG.
Tips and tricks for the JKSSB Class-IV (MTS) upload
- 1There is no photo to upload. The form takes a live photo through your camera and won't submit until the face check passes, so have a laptop or phone with a working camera ready.
- 2For the face check, face a plain, light wall with no window behind you, keep your head straight and close to the camera, and take off caps, masks and dark glasses. Only one face may be in the frame.
- 3Draw a box 3.5 cm wide and 1.5 cm high on white paper, sign inside it in dark ink, and crop to the box before you resize.
- 4The signature must be between 10 KB and 20 KB. Under 10 KB? Save it at a higher JPG quality instead of stretching a small image. Over 20 KB? Lower the quality first.
- 5Check your qualification before you pay. MTS posts need Matric and Sanitation Worker posts need 8th pass, and 10+2 is the highest qualification allowed, so a graduate can't apply.
- 6Your cadre and department preferences can't be changed after you submit, even if JKSSB opens an edit window later. Decide them before you start.
