<p><a href="https://easyphoto.in/exam-requirements/upsc/">UPSC photo and signature requirements — easyPhoto</a></p>About UPSC CSE
UPSC CSE is the Civil Services Examination that recruits for the IAS, IPS, IFS and allied services. The current UPSC instructions use a prepared photo upload, a separate mandatory live photograph, and one image containing three signatures; they do not list a digital name-and-date strip.
About the UPSC photo & signature requirement
UPSC's current portal requires both an uploaded passport-size photograph and a live photograph captured during the application. The live image is matched with the uploaded photo. The signature upload must show the candidate's signature three times vertically on one plain-white image.
