What CUET PG covers
CUET PG is the postgraduate arm of the Common University Entrance Test, run by the National Testing Agency for admission to postgraduate programmes at central and other participating universities. It is separate from the undergraduate CUET paper, and a candidate sitting one is not automatically routed into the other.
The recorded specification is narrower than the undergraduate version: a 3.5 by 4.5 centimetre photograph at 200 DPI capped at 200 KB with a 10 KB floor, and a 3.5 by 1.5 centimetre signature capped at 30 KB with a 4 KB floor. Those are quoted in centimetres rather than pixels, so the tool converts through the stated resolution instead of treating the numbers as a pixel count, which matters here because the figures are small enough to be misread at a glance.
This page sets out the numbers CUET PG actually asks for. It is not a general guide to cropping or to the tool interface, because those instructions do not change from one exam to the next and they are written up separately.
What the CUET PG form asks you to upload
The application expects a pair of files, and each is checked on its own. They are:
- A photograph at 3.5 x 4.5 cm, no heavier than 200 KB and no lighter than 10 KB.
- A signature at 3.5 x 1.5 cm, no heavier than 30 KB and no lighter than 4 KB.
| Item | Size | Unit | Format | Max file size | Min | DPI | File name |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photo | 3.5 x 4.5 | cm | JPEG | 200 KB | 10 KB | 200 | Passport_Photograph |
| Signature | 3.5 x 1.5 | cm | JPEG | 30 KB | 4 KB | 200 | Signature |
The CUET PG numbers, and why they matter
Notice that the CUET PG figures are measurements in centimetres, not pixels. At 200 DPI a 3.5 by 4.5 centimetre frame is a specific pixel count, and the tool derives it rather than guessing. A photo that is the right number of pixels but the wrong DPI reads as the wrong size to a portal that checks both.
The CUET PG photograph allowance runs up to 200 KB with a floor of 10 KB. Since there is little or nothing to overshoot downwards, the practical pressure on this record is the ceiling rather than the floor.
The CUET PG form expects a specific file name pattern. The stored name is Passport_Photograph. Use the name the tool generates rather than the name your camera gave the file, since the portal validates the name as well as the image.
If the CUET PG application refuses your file
- A CUET PG rejection usually comes down to one of two things. Either the file is over 200 KB because the crop left too much empty background, or the photo itself has a non plain background, a tilt, or a filter. Fix the weight first since it is measurable, then the photograph.
- For the CUET PG signature, keep the crop tight around the ink. The 3.5 x 1.5 cm frame is small, so every extra millimetre of empty paper is weight you do not have, and the 30 KB ceiling does not leave room for it.
- A third attempt with the same settings will produce the same result. Read the current notification again, because the specification is corrected by corrigendum from time to time and the values in this tool follow the specification as recorded.
Frequently Asked Questions
The mechanics of the crop step, the face mask overlay, and the compression trade-off are identical across all of these tools, so they have their own guide instead of a section on every page. Open the official NTA website.
