The Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) Inter Level recruitment is one of the most anticipated opportunities for youth in Bihar. With over 12,000 vacancies for posts like Panchayat Sachiv, Revenue Staff, and LDC, the stakes are incredibly high. While the written exam is a test of your knowledge, the online application is a test of your technical patience.
Thousands of forms are rejected every year simply because the candidate uploaded a blurry 10th mark sheet or a signature that did not meet the 20KB limit. In the 2026 recruitment cycle, BSSC has upgraded its portal to enforce stricter document validation. As a fellow Bank Exam aspirant, I know that managing government forms while preparing for GK and Math is a heavy burden.
At SarkariPixel.in, we tailor tools for aspirants who submit photos, signatures, and certificates daily. In this guide, we break down the "Gold Standard" for BSSC Inter Level 2026 document preparation.
1) BSSC Inter Level 2026: The technical checklist
BSSC requires a combination of high-resolution images and clear PDF documents. If the text on your domicile certificate (Niwas Praman Patra) is not readable, your candidature can be affected during verification.
Official specification table (quick reference)
| Document type | Format | Dimensions | File size (KB) | Best SarkariPixel workflow |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passport photograph | JPG / JPEG | 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm | 20 KB – 50 KB | Toolkit (SSC preset) + Compress |
| Signature (English / Hindi) | JPG / JPEG | 3.5 cm × 1.5 cm | 10 KB – 20 KB | Enhance + Resize + Compress |
| 10th / 12th mark sheets | PDF only | N/A | 50 KB – 200 KB | PDF → Image → Compress images → Images → PDF |
| Caste / EWS certificate | PDF only | N/A | 50 KB – 200 KB | PDF → Image → Compress images → Images → PDF |
| Computer / typing certificate | PDF only | N/A | 50 KB – 200 KB | PDF → Image → Compress images → Images → PDF |
If the portal shows different ranges, follow the portal text as final authority.
2) Preparing the perfect BSSC photo & signature
BSSC often asks for signatures in both Hindi and English. Managing these two separate files alongside your photo can be confusing. The goal is simple: clean background, sharp text, correct cm sizing, and strict KB targets.
Step 1: Enhance the scans
Most students click photos of signatures and documents using mobile phones in low light. This makes signatures look gray and reduces contrast. Use the Enhance Lab first to lift background brightness and make the ink stand out.
Step 2: Use the SSC preset for BSSC
We do not have a button specifically labeled "BSSC" today, but the SSC preset in Launch Toolkit matches the common 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm photo standard used by many portals, including BSSC-style requirements.
- Select SSC preset: locks the 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm photo size with safe padding.
- Crop & resize: keep your face around 70%75% of the frame for best readability.
- Target KB: aim around 45 KB for the photo (inside 20–50 KB).
- Signatures: keep each signature around 15 KB (inside 10–20 KB).
3) The certificate challenge: PDF formatting for BSSC
Bihar state exams are strict about certificates. For Inter Level posts, you may need 10th and 12th documents, plus specialized documents like Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) or Computer Proficiency certificates in PDF format.
Why "small" PDF is not "good" PDF
Many online compressors shrink a PDF to 100 KB, but the text becomes blurry. If the verification officer cannot clearly read your certificate number, roll number, or issuing authority stamp, you are taking a risk.
The SarkariPixel solution (practical workflow)
- Take a straight, well-lit photo (avoid shadows and glare).
- Use Enhance Lab if the document looks dull.
- Convert with Images → PDF.
- If the PDF is still above the limit, use PDF → Image → Compress images → Images → PDF and aim for a safe target like 1–80 KB.
4) Why privacy-first is vital for Bihar students
In Bihar, many students visit Jan Seva Kendras or cyber cafes to fill forms. Often, personal documents (Aadhaar, mark sheets, signatures) end up saved on public computers. This is a real identity-risk.
SarkariPixel is client-side
- We do not upload your documents to our server.
- Processing happens locally in your browser's memory.
- When you close the tab, your processing session ends.
5) Common rejection traps in BSSC forms
- Hindi vs English signature: do not swap the two. Keep filenames clearly labeled.
- Shadows on certificates: do not let phone shadows cover totals, names, or certificate numbers.
- Expired certificates: EWS or NCL must be valid for the current cycle/financial year as per the notification.
6) Pro-tip: the "BSSC Digital Dossier"
Create a folder on your phone named BSSC_Ready. Keep:
- Photo: ~40–45 KB
- Signature (English): ~15 KB
- Signature (Hindi): ~15 KB
- Certificates: PDFs under 200 KB, readable
If the server starts lagging in the final days, you will not waste time resizing. You will simply upload and finish fast.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a photo with a background other than white?
A: BSSC typically prefers a white or light-colored background. Dark backgrounds increase the risk of failed verification at the exam center. Use Enhance Lab to clean up the background.
Q: My PDF is 2–10 KB. Will it be accepted?
A: If the portal limit is 200 KB, then no. Compress it to a safe target like 1–80 KB while keeping text readable.
Q: Can I scan my documents using a mobile app?
A: Yes, but avoid apps that add watermarks. A clean camera photo plus Enhance Lab usually produces a more portal-friendly result.
