Rules for each document
Colour photograph with your name and the photo date written on it

- Chapter 9 upload list (every category): “Latest Scanned coloured photograph with white background clearly mentioned date and name of the candidate on the photograph.”
- The advertisement gives NO pixel, cm, KB or file-format limit for the photo.
Signature
- Chapter 9 upload list: “Scanned Signature of the Candidate.” No size, KB, format or ink colour is stated in the advertisement.
Matriculation (10th) certificate
- “Scanned Copy of Matriculation Certificate” — mandatory for every category. No format or size stated.
- Para 8.4: scan from the original document so the whole document is visible; “If any certificate is printed on both sides, then both sides should be scanned and uploaded.”
Category / reservation certificates (Haryana bonafide resident, DSC/OSC, BC-A/BC-B, EWS, ESM, PwBD, sports, etc.)
- Only for candidates claiming that category. No format or size stated.
- Issue-date rules from the advertisement: BC-A / BC-B / EWS certificate issued on or after 01.04.2026; DSC / OSC certificate issued after 13.11.2024; PwBD and ESP certificates issued before the closing date; ESM family-member eligibility certificate issued/renewed on or after 20.06.2025 — all on or before the closing date.

General instructions
- Apply on the One Time Registration portal onetimeregn.haryana.gov.in (linked from hssc.gov.in as “Apply for CET Group D-05/2026”). Candidates registered for CET 1/2022 or CET 1/2025 reuse the same CET registration number.
- Para 8.7: “Only scanned documents uploaded with application form shall be considered for deciding the eligibility criteria.” Documents not uploaded with the form are not considered later.
- Biometric (thumb or facial) data is taken at the examination; a mismatch at any later stage cancels candidature on the ground of impersonation.
- Advt. No. 06/2026 (CET Phase-II, Group-C) repeats the same photo and signature wording; its undertaking is Annexure V.
Where these numbers come from
Every value on this page is taken from the official Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) documents below. If a newer notification is out, it takes priority.
- HSSC Advt. No. 05/2026 — CET for Group-D posts (18.06.2026), Chapters 8–9
- HSSC public notice extending Advt. No. 05/2026 closing date (03.07.2026)
- HSSC Advt. No. 06/2026 — CET Phase-II for Group-C posts (22.06.2026)
- Haryana OTR portal user manual (2021 document, archived 23.03.2025) — older 500 KB note
- HSSC CET-2022 notice on improper photographs (archived 31.10.2022) — older 2 × 2 inch note
Where official sources disagree
- No official file-size, pixel or format limit was found for 2026. The OTR portal returned HTTP 503 on 24.10.2026, so its upload screen could not be read.
- Older official guidance, NOT used as limits here: the OTR portal user manual (document created 01.04.2021; archived copy of 23.03.2025) shows the upload box text “Only .jpg Files of maximum size 500KB are allowed.” for both photo and signature; and a CET-2022 notice (31.10.2022) asked candidates with improper photos to upload “the latest photograph in colour and of the size of 2 inch x 2 inch”. Neither is restated in the 2026 advertisements.
- Resizer and coaching sites quote 20–50 KB, 40–150 KB, 10–20 KB and other figures — none comes from an HSSC document.
Next update: Re-check when the OTR portal is reachable again and when the CET Group-D 05/2026 exam schedule or the next CET advertisement is published.
