Photo Specifications

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I use the same photo I uploaded online?
The uploaded photo was a live capture. The new instruction requires a recent physical photograph (not older than 6 months) to be pasted, likely for better identification and to ensure the photo is current.
What if I have already pasted the old photo?
If you've already printed your e-call letter, carefully remove the old photo (if possible without tearing) and paste a new recent one. Better to print a fresh copy and use the correct photo.
Is this notice applicable to all RRB regions?
Yes, this advisory is issued by the Railway Recruitment Boards centrally. It applies to all candidates under CEN 05/2025 across all zones.
What are the exact dimensions of the photograph?
The notice does not specify new dimensions. Use standard passport size (2x2 inch or 35mm x 45mm) colour photograph with white background, as typically required.
