GATE Photo Resizer — 480×640 px, Max 200 KB

Q: What is the GATE exam photo size requirement?

GATE requires a photo of 480x640 pixels under 200 KB, and a signature of 480x160 pixels under 100 KB, both in JPEG format.

Q: Why does GATE have a larger photo size than SSC or IBPS exams?

GATE uses a higher resolution requirement of 480x640 pixels compared to 200x230 pixels for SSC or IBPS, mainly because IIT and IISc organizing committees specify a more detailed photo standard for verification during the exam and counselling process.

Q: Can I use my JEE Main or NEET photo for GATE since they're also engineering-related exams?

No, GATE requires a different size of 480x640 pixels compared to 276x354 pixels for JEE Main and NEET, so the photo needs to be resized separately to meet GATE's specific dimensions.
