How you should look in the photograph
This examination hasn’t published rules about spectacles, headwear or expression, or we haven’t found them. We haven’t invented any.
Where these rules came from
We have not been able to confirm every value against an official document for this cycle. Check your own notification before submitting.
We could not find this exam's own published file rules. What we have comes from a secondary reference: KCET 2026 photograph specification.
est. marks a figure this exam has not published, where we chose a sensible value. There are 7 on this page. Your file is prepared to it, and the report we give you names every one.
Report an issue Tell us and we will re-check it against the notification. Rules change between cycles, and we would rather hear it from you than have you find out at the portal.
