Guidelines for Uploading Photograph for XAT 2027 Application

Ensure your photograph is a recent, passport-sized color image taken with a relaxed expression while looking directly at the camera. Avoid harsh shadows or squinting eyes, and ensure there is no "red-eye" from flash. If you wear glasses, they must be free of reflections so your eyes remain clearly visible. Hats, caps, and dark glasses are strictly prohibited, though religious headwear is permitted provided it does not obscure your face. Most importantly save your scan as a JPG, JPEG, or PNG file with a minimum resolution of 200 DPI, and the scanned file must be under 1MB.
