Rules for each document
Live photograph (captured in the application form)
- Official (Advt. 08/2025 para 8): “आवेदक को आवेदन पत्र में लाइव फोटो Capture कर आवेदन को Submit किया जाना आवश्यक है।” No photo file is uploaded; no size / KB is stated.
- Wait for the 5-second timer, then blink 2–3 times; if the photo is taken with your eyes closed, capture it again.
- Look straight at the camera. Glasses are allowed if there is no glare on them; no black or sun-glasses.
- Well-lit, white or light-coloured background (“Enlightened Background”); the photo must not be blurred or dark.
- Your face must fill at least 50% of the photo; face and head not covered by cloth, shadow or hair; head, eyes, nose and chin clearly visible.
- You can recapture until the photo is clear, but not after Final Submit. The photo on the admit card / attendance sheet must match you at the exam, or you can be disqualified.
- Editing or tampering with the live photo using a photo-editor app cancels the candidature at any stage and can lead to legal action.
Signature (scanned)
- Official (Advt. 08/2025 para 9): “केवल जेपीईजी (JPEG) प्रारूप को स्वीकार किया जाएगा।” “जेपीईजी (JPEG) के लिए न्यूनतम पिक्सेल 280 × 80 से अधिकतम पिक्सेल 560 × 160 होना चाहिए।” “फाईल का आकार 20 के.बी. से 50 के.बी. तक होना चाहिए।” “हस्ताक्षर का आकार 50 के.बी. से ज्यादा नहीं होना चाहिए।”

- Only you may sign. “मोबाईल फोन का उपयोग कर लिया गया हस्ताक्षर का फोटोग्राफ स्वीकार नहीं किया जायेगा।” The signature on the admit card / attendance sheet must match the uploaded one.
Colour photo for exam day (2.5 × 2.5 cm, not older than 1 month)

General instructions
- Apply on the SSO portal (sso.rajasthan.gov.in) → Recruitment Portal. The live photo, signatures and thumb impression are made in the One Time Registration (OTR) and fetched into each application automatically.
- State Recruitment Portal OTR manual (as on 02.01.2026): the KYC step asks for a live photo, a handwritten specimen and signatures in Hindi/English; the OTR one-time-edit list includes Live Photo, Handwritten Specimen, Full Signature (English), Full Signature (Hindi) and Left Thumb Impression. No size is published for the handwritten specimen.
- Aadhaar-based face authentication on the OTR profile became mandatory after 31.01.2026 — until it is done you cannot apply for any recruitment on the State Recruitment Portal.
- At the centre identity is checked against the photo ID, the admit-card photo and biometrics / face scan (RSSB exam-conduct guidelines, June 2026).
- “REET Mains” is the popular name for this RSSB teacher recruitment; REET itself (the teacher eligibility test) is conducted separately by BSER, Ajmer.
- The Teacher 2025 advertisements ask only for the live photo and one signature. The newer CET 2026 advertisements also ask for Hindi + English signatures and a left thumb impression in OTR — check the next teacher advertisement for the same.
- Amended advertisements of May 2026 revised the vacancies (Level-1 posts raised from 5,000 to 7,000); they do not touch the upload rules.
Where these numbers come from
Every value on this page is taken from the official Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) documents below. If a newer notification is out, it takes priority.
- RSSB Primary School Teacher Direct Recruitment-2025, Advt. 08/2025 (06.11.2025), paras 8–9
- RSSB Upper Primary School Teacher (Sanskrit) Direct Recruitment-2025, Advt. 09/2025 (06.11.2025)
- RSSB Primary School Teacher amended advertisement (07.05.2026)
- State Recruitment Portal — OTR user manual (as on 02.01.2026)
- RSSB “Instructions to upload photo and sign” (older; uploaded-photo rules)
Where official sources disagree
- RSSB's “Exam Guidelines” page still lists an older “Instructions to upload photo and sign” sheet (file created 2016) and the RSMSSB general-instruction booklet (2015/2019), which ask for an UPLOADED photo: “Photo should be in JPEG format with a size of 3.5 cm * 4.5 cm.” “JPEG photo should be a minimum pixel of 240 * 320 sizes and a maximum of 480 * 640 sizes (0.3 megapixels).” “The size of file should be in between 50 KB to 100 KB.” The current advertisements replace this with a live photo captured in OTR. The signature numbers (280 × 80 to 560 × 160 px, 20–50 KB, 7 × 2 cm box) are the same in the old and new documents.
Next update: No new Primary / Upper Primary teacher (REET Mains) advertisement on rssb.rajasthan.gov.in as of 24.10.2026 — re-check when it appears.
