Pro Tips for TANGEDCO Success

No Caps or Sunglasses

Ensure your head is fully visible. Do not wear caps, helmets, or dark glasses. Face must be illuminated evenly.

Solid Light Background

Choose a solid white or very light blue background. Avoid domestic backgrounds, curtains, or doors.

High-Quality Signature

TANGEDCO signatures must be between 10 KB and 20 KB. Use a black ballpoint pen on plain paper.

Common Rejection Mistakes to Avoid

File Name Special Characters

Naming files like 'my_photo#2026.jpg' can crash the legacy TNEB upload portal. Use simple names like 'photo.jpg'.

Spectacles or Glare

Wearing sunglasses, hats, or spectacles that hide your eyes. Both ears and eyes must be clearly visible.

Using Faint Signatures

Signing with a dry pen or pencil, which makes the signature faint and illegible when compressed below 20KB.

Official Photography & Scanning Guidelines

✓

Simple Filename Format: Save the processed files with basic names (e.g., 'photo.jpg', 'sign.jpg') to avoid upload errors.

✓

Solid Light Backdrop: Stand in front of a solid white or light blue backdrop. Avoid shadows on the wall.

✓

Even Bright Lighting: Make sure there are no shadows on your face or ears.

✓

Sign on White Paper: Always sign in black ink on clean white unruled paper.

Frequently Asked Questions about TANGEDCO Photos

Q.What is the photo size for TNEB/TANGEDCO applications?

Photos must measure 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm with a file size strictly between 20 KB and 50 KB, in JPEG format.

Q.How do I avoid upload errors on the TNEB site?

The TNEB portal strictly rejects files with incorrect dimensions or file names containing special characters. Rename your file to a simple name like 'photo.jpg' before uploading.

Q.Can I use blue ink for the TNEB signature?

No. Black ink is strongly recommended for TNEB/TANGEDCO signatures to ensure high contrast and clear scanning visibility.

Why use our TANGEDCO Resizer?

TANGEDCO/TNEB recruitment portals have legacy upload scripts that are prone to throwing vague errors when file sizes deviate slightly. Our tool outputs standard-compliant JPEG headers that pass these validations without issues.
