IBPS Clerk Photo Specifications 2026
IBPS Clerk is the recruitment exam for the clerical cadre across participating public sector banks, run through the same IBPS Common Recruitment Process (CRP) portal that also handles IBPS PO, and conducted in prelims and mains stages. Because both exams share the same online registration system, the photo specifications you'll encounter for Clerk are broadly the same family of requirements as PO — but that doesn't mean every field is identical, so it's worth reading the fine print of your specific notification rather than assuming.
Here are the photo specifications for IBPS Clerk 2026:

Do's
- Take the photo against a plain white or light-coloured background
- Face the camera directly with both ears and your full face visible
- Wear formal attire suitable for a bank recruitment application
- Use soft, even lighting to avoid shadows or glare
- Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed
- Get a photo taken specifically for this recruitment cycle
- Double-check focus and sharpness before uploading
Don'ts
- Do not wear sunglasses, tinted glasses, or headgear (barring religious exceptions)
- Do not use a photo older than 3 months
- Do not apply heavy filters or beautification edits
- Do not assume your IBPS PO photo will pass the Clerk upload without re-checking
- Do not leave the signature field blank or submit a typed name in place of a handwritten signature
- Do not upload a signature scanned at an angle or with visible paper creases
A frequent mix-up: candidates who have already applied for IBPS PO assume the Clerk signature box uses the same dimensions, but some IBPS notifications specify a noticeably wider signature format (around 80mm × 30mm) for PO compared to Clerk. Uploading the wrong aspect ratio causes the crop to look distorted or gets flagged during verification. Always re-check the signature dimensions on your specific IBPS Clerk notification rather than reusing a PO file.
