Pro Tips for GATE Success

High Resolution Minimums

GATE has strict rules. Photos must be at least 240x320 px (width by height), and signatures at least 80x280 px.

Neutral Face Expression

Both ears and shoulders must be fully visible with your eyes looking directly into the camera.

High Contrast Ink

For the signature scan, sign with black ink only on clean white paper. Blue ink is highly discouraged.

Common Rejection Mistakes to Avoid

Uploading Below Minimum Pixels

GATE validators check image headers. If your photo is under 240x320 pixels, it will fail.

Flash Reflections on Glasses

Spec glare is the number one cause of GATE application rejection. Take the photo without glasses.

Ruling Lines in Signature Scan

Signing on lined paper instead of unruled white sheets.

Official Photography & Scanning Guidelines

✓

Studio Light Capture: Ensure your face has even, bright light with no shadows behind you.

✓

Tuck Hair Behind Ears: Both ears must be clearly visible. Hair should not drape across forehead.

✓

Sign within Designated Area: Draw a clean boundary box if needed, sign in black ink, and crop closely.
