SSC CGL photo requirements
SSC CGL 2026 does not take an uploaded photo. The photo is captured live with a webcam or mobile inside the application form (para 9.5 and Annexure-IV). Use good light and a plain background, keep the camera at eye level, and do not wear a cap, mask or glasses. Photographing an existing photo leads to rejection.
🔒 Your photo is processed on this device. It is never uploaded.
Drag the picture so your face fits inside the oval, with your eyes near the line. Use the slider to zoom.
