Frequently Asked Questions

What is the file size limit for RRB recruitment portal?

RRB portals (rrbcdg.gov.in, rrb.gov.in etc.) typically require certificates under 500KB, photos under 50KB JPEG, and signatures under 20KB. Limits vary slightly by post — always verify with the official RRB notification.

Which RRB exams need document compression?

RRB NTPC (Non-Technical Popular Categories), RRB Group D (Level 1), RRB JE (Junior Engineer), RRB ALP (Assistant Loco Pilot), RRB SRDCE, and RRC Apprentice recruitment all require compressed document uploads.

Can I compress ITI or vocational certificate for RRB?

Yes. ITI NCVT/SCVT certificates, apprenticeship certificates, and vocational training certificates are often 1–3MB when scanned. BharatDocSeva compresses them to under 500KB with all seal and signature details intact.

What if the RRB portal still rejects my file after compression?

If the portal continues to reject, try compressing below the stated limit (e.g., target 400KB instead of 500KB) to account for any browser-side size measurement differences. Also ensure the file is a PDF not a JPEG when the portal requires PDF.
