ExamKitCUET UG 2026: photo and signature size
The CUET (UG) 2026 bulletin asked for a recent colour photo of 10-200 KB (white background, face about 80% with ears visible) and a signature of 10-50 KB. The signature limit is smaller than JEE Main’s or NEET’s 100 KB, so a signature made for those exams may be too big here.
Applications for CUET (UG) 2026 closed in January 2026, and the 2027 bulletin has not been released. This page shows the 2026 rules and will be updated when the new bulletin is out.
