CUET (UG) 2026: colour passport JPG 10–200 KB with 80 percent face, and a signature JPG of 10–50 KB. Pixels are not stated.

Your image never leaves this phone. The resize happens on this device. ExamPicResizer does not receive the file.

Part of this preset is not a number printed in the notice. The table says which part. If the form disagrees, follow the form.

Prepare the file

No official pixel size. The long edge is scaled to 1,000 pixels so a phone camera file can fall inside the KB range. Change the crop if you need the face to fill more of the frame.

JPEG or PNG from the camera roll works. The original file is not modified.

What the notice says

The CUET (UG) 2026 bulletin asks for a recent colour passport photograph, 80 percent face including ears, no mask, white background, JPG, 10 KB to 200 KB. A live photo is taken in the form as well.
