RRB ALP upload sizes
Assistant Loco Pilot (CEN 01/2026), conducted by Railway Recruitment Boards. Sizes below are from the CEN 01/2026 (applications 15.05.2026 to 14.06.2026).
| Upload | Official size | Pixels used here | File size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signature | Signature: JPG/JPEG, 30 KB to 49 KB, minimum 140 x 60 pixels (width x height), scanned at minimum 100 DPI, centred in a 35 mm x 20 mm box. (para 13.5.1) | 420 × 180 (our choice) | 30–49 KB |
Rules to follow
Signature
Sign in black ink on white paper.
Cursive signature; not in block or capital letters.
140 x 60 px is a MINIMUM, not a target: a 140 x 60 JPEG cannot reach 30 KB, so the scan must be larger.
Good to know
No photo file is uploaded. The photo is captured live by webcam or the phone's front camera during the application.
Live photo: no cap, mask or glasses/spectacles; non-white (preferably dark) clothing; face centred; you can retake before submitting. Photographing a printed or digital photo leads to rejection.
SC/ST certificate (free travel pass only): PDF under 400 KB.
Read by a sub-agent from the CEN PDF in the browser; the RRB firewall now blocks direct downloads, so it was not re-checked in this pass.
If the live photo does not match, upload Annexure-IX signed by a Class-I Gazetted Officer.
