This form captures your photo live during the online application (webcam or phone camera) — there is nothing to upload or resize.
RRB took the photo live inside the application (webcam or phone front camera), so there was no photo file to upload. Applications closed on 14 August 2026 and the CBT is on 12 and 13 October 2026. For the CBT, CBAT, document verification and medical you need a colour passport photo no older than two months on that day, and your appearance must match the live photo.
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.
JPG/JPEG, 30 to 49 KB, at least 140 × 60 px, scanned at 100 DPI or more. Black ink on white paper in running (joined-up) handwriting, not block or capital letters, centred in a 50 mm × 20 mm box (wider than the 35 mm box in other 2026 RRB notices).

About the RRB Section Controller application form
The RRB Section Controller Recruitment (7th CPC Level 6) is conducted by the Railway Recruitment Boards. 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 140×60 pixels and between 30 and 49 KB on plain white paper in black ink.
Common reasons RRB Section Controller forms get rejected
- A live photo that breaks the photo rules in the notice.
- Wrong file format. The notice asks for JPG.
- Signature on lined or coloured paper instead of plain white.
Tips and tricks for the RRB Section Controller upload
- 1Applications are closed, so your live photo and signature are locked. RRB checks your face against the live photo at the CBT, so turn up looking the way you did in it.
- 2Take a new colour passport photo for exam day. RRB wants one no older than two months on the date of the CBT, and the same rule applies again at the CBAT, document verification and medical, so a photo from when you applied in July or August will be too old. Our print-sheet tool fits several copies on one 4×6 sheet.
- 3Leave the self-declaration paragraph, signature and left thumb impression boxes on the e-call letter blank. You fill them in the exam hall in front of the invigilator; writing them at home or signing in capitals gets you rejected.
- 4Skip henna on your hands and feet before the exam. RRB says it gets in the way of the biometric capture.
- 5Bring your original Aadhaar or an e-verified Aadhaar printout, and keep your Aadhaar unlocked with UIDAI before exam day.
