The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) has very specific guidelines for image uploads in the GATE Online Application Processing System (GOAPS). Unlike many other exams, GATE allows for a wider range of file sizes but has strict aspect ratio requirements.
For the GATE 2026 application, the photograph must be of high quality with dimensions generally matching a 3.5cm x 4.5cm aspect ratio (converted to 275x354 pixels in this tool). The file size limit is generous, typically between 5KB and 1MB (1000KB). The signature requires a rectangular aspect ratio, specifically 400x115 pixels, with a file size between 5KB and 200KB.
This tool ensures your uploads meet these precise GOAPS technical standards, preventing application rejection due to image discrepancies.
The standard requirement typically matches a 3.5cm width x 4.5cm height aspect ratio. In pixels, this is often standardized to 275 pixels width by 354 pixels height for optimal quality.
The GATE application allows a file size range between 5 KB and 1000 KB (1 MB). This allows for high-quality images to be uploaded.
The signature file must be between 5 KB and 200 KB. The dimensions should be rectangular, approximately 400 pixels width x 115 pixels height.
The photograph must have a white or very light-colored background. Using dark or busy backgrounds may lead to rejection.
Sign with a black or dark blue ink pen on clean white paper. Ensure the signature occupies the majority of the scanned area.
No, selfies are not allowed. You must use a formal passport-sized photograph where your face covers 60-70% of the image area and you are looking directly at the camera.
The GOAPS portal only accepts images in JPEG or JPG format. This tool automatically converts PNG or other formats to the required JPG format.
