Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) exams are conducted independently by each state's own education department or selection commission — UPTET by UPESSC in Uttar Pradesh, and similarly separate boards run MPTET, HTET, Bihar STET, and others. Each sets its own photo and signature rules, on its own portal. This guide covers the common pattern, one fully-verified example, and how to find your exact state's requirement.
Why State TET Requirements Differ by State
Unlike CTET (the central TET, run by CBSE with one consistent nationwide specification), every individual state's TET is a separate exam entirely — different eligibility rules, different exam pattern, and a separately-built application portal with its own photo/signature instructions. A spec that's correct for UPTET is not guaranteed to be correct for MPTET or HTET, even though all three test the same underlying teaching-eligibility competency.
UPTET — A Fully-Verified Example
Of the State TET exams we've checked, UPTET (conducted by UPESSC, the UP Education Service Selection Commission) is the one with a fully independently-verified specification. It also carries a genuinely useful distinguishing detail: it accepts both JPG and PNG format — unusual, since almost every other exam on this site is JPEG-only. See our dedicated UPTET guide for the complete breakdown, including a ready-to-use resizer preset.
| Parameter | UPTET (verified) |
|---|---|
| Photo Dimensions | 35mm × 45mm |
| Photo File Size | 30 KB – 300 KB |
| Signature Dimensions | 35mm × 15mm |
| Signature File Size | 10 KB – 200 KB |
| Accepted Formats | JPG or PNG |

MPTET, HTET, Bihar STET, and other state-level teacher eligibility tests are also widely searched — but we haven't yet independently verified their exact photo specifications to the same standard as UPTET. Rather than publish a guessed number, here's the honest state of things: we'll add these states as dedicated guides once verified, and in the meantime, the Universal Compressor below works for any state once you know your own exact requirement.
How to Find Your Exact State TET Photo Requirement
- Download the official notification PDF from your state's TET conducting body's website — never rely on a coaching institute's summary alone
- Search the PDF for the photo and signature specifications, usually within the application instructions
- Note the exact dimensions, KB limit, and accepted file formats — some state TETs (like UPTET) accept PNG as well as JPG, which is worth confirming rather than assuming JPEG-only
- Keep the notification PDF saved — most state TET portals reject an upload at the form level with an on-screen error if your file doesn't match

Use the Universal Image Compressor to hit your state's specific KB limit, and the Crop tool to set the correct aspect ratio once you know your exact requirement.

Do's
- Always read your own state's current TET notification in full before taking or uploading a photo
- Check whether your state's TET accepts PNG as well as JPG — UPTET does, but don't assume every state TET follows the same rule
- Save the notification PDF so you can re-check the exact spec during form filling
Don'ts
- Do not assume a photo prepared for one state's TET will automatically work for a different state's TET
- Do not confuse a State TET (like UPTET) with CTET — CTET is the separate central exam run by CBSE with its own specification
- Do not guess at the KB limit — state TET portals commonly enforce both a minimum and a maximum, and guessing wrong causes an upload rejection

State TET फोटो साइज़ — हिंदी में जानकारी
बहुत से उम्मीदवार पूछते हैं — State TET फोटो साइज़ कितना होना चाहिए? इसका कोई एक तय जवाब नहीं है, क्योंकि हर राज्य का TET (जैसे UPTET, MPTET, HTET) अपने राज्य के शिक्षा विभाग या चयन आयोग द्वारा अलग से आयोजित किया जाता है।
हमने अभी तक सिर्फ़ UPTET का स्पेसिफिकेशन पूरी तरह वेरीफ़ाई किया है — फोटो 35mm × 45mm (30-300KB), सिग्नेचर 35mm × 15mm (10-200KB), और यह JPG और PNG दोनों फॉर्मेट स्वीकार करता है। MPTET, HTET जैसे दूसरे राज्यों के सही नंबर जानने के लिए अपने राज्य का आधिकारिक नोटिफिकेशन ज़रूर देखें।
सही dimensions और KB लिमिट पता चलने के बाद, SarkariKagaz.pro का फ्री टूल इस्तेमाल करें — फोटो को अपने राज्य की लिमिट के अनुसार तुरंत बदलें। यह टूल पूरी तरह मुफ़्त है और आपकी फोटो कभी भी किसी सर्वर पर अपलोड नहीं होती।
