ORIGINAL FILE3.2MB smartphone image with background shadow

TOOLKB OUTPUT85.2KB, 350 × 450 px, clean white background

SYSTEM.TROUBLESHOOTING

Why is the portal rejecting my upload?

Most application rejections are caused by hidden dimension or background mismatches rather than KB limits alone.

Issue 1

NTA portal error: 'File size less than 10KB'

Cause: Aggressive third-party compression dropping the file below NTA's 10KB minimum threshold.

Fix: Use ToolKB's CUET preset which targets 100KB, well above the 10KB boundary.

Issue 2

Signature rejected as 'Illegible or below 4KB'

Cause: Compacting the signature file too heavily.

Fix: Set signature target to 15KB to 20KB using our signature tool.

Issue 3

iPhone photo format rejected

Cause: iPhones save in HEIC format, which government portals reject.

Fix: ToolKB decodes HEIC in Safari, or use our free HEIC-to-JPG converter first.

Issue 4

Face coverage less than 80% rejection warning

Cause: Photo taken from too far away showing half body.

Fix: Crop photo so face from chin to hair occupies 80% of image canvas.

Issue 5

Off-white or outdoor background rejection

Cause: NTA requires plain white background.

Fix: Retake photo in front of a white wall or plain sheet.

Issue 6

Name and date stamp on CUET photos

Cause: Candidates wondering if date stamp is required.

Fix: NTA bulletin for CUET does not mandate date stamp, but plain white background and 80% face coverage are strictly verified.
