The rules
- Upload a photo taken on or after the notification date with each application.
- Colour, passport size, white background, taken in a photo studio, front view showing both ears and part of the neck.
- Your name and the date of the photo must be printed at the bottom of it.
- Phone photos, selfies and photocopies of photos are not allowed.
- Draw a 6.0 × 2.0 cm box on white paper, sign inside it in blue or black ink, scan at 200 DPI and crop to the box.
What a checker cannot see
TNPSC asks for a studio photo. This can size it and add the name and date, but it cannot make a phone photo acceptable.
