Laying out the three signatures
Leave a little space between the signatures so they do not overlap, and keep them roughly the same width. The final image is 600 × 450 pixels, which leaves each signature enough height to stay readable. If your notice asks for a different shape, change the width and height: anything from 350 to 1000 pixels on each side is accepted.
Clean-up and framing
The page uses Keep everything framing, so no signature is cut at the edges, and White paper, dark ink, which removes the grey cast of indoor photos. Prepare your UPSC photo with the same 20–300 KB rule.
Frequently asked questions
Why three signatures?
Recent UPSC notices ask for the signature three times in one image, so they can compare your writing reliably at later stages. A single signature may be rejected.
Can I use blue ink?
The notice asks for black ink. Blue scans lighter and can look faint at small sizes.
What if the three signatures look slightly different?
That is normal. Sign naturally, at your usual speed, rather than trying to make them identical.
