The path to a career in BSc Nursing, B.Pharm (Pharmacy), or Paramedical Sciences is one of the most respected journeys in India. Whether you are appearing for JENPAS-UG 2026 (conducted by WBJEEB) or similar state-level nursing entrances, your registration portal is the first technical test.
One small mistake in your Photograph or Signature can lead to your application getting flagged or rejected. In 2026, many boards use automated checks that focus on clarity, white background, and file size limits.
At SarkariPixel.in, we follow a simple gold standard for portal uploads: Enhance → Resize → Compress. This guide breaks down a safe checklist and shows you how to prepare documents that look professional and stay within KB limits'without uploading your files to a server.

1) JENPAS-UG & BSc Nursing 2026: the technical checklist
Nursing and pharmacy portals often follow common patterns (WBJEEB / NTA-style): tight KB limits, required white background, and readable signatures. Use the table below as a starting checklistand always verify the latest notification on your portal before final upload.
| Document type | Dimensions | File size (KB) | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport Photograph | 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm | 10200 KB | White background, face clear, no shadows |
| Official Signature | 4.0 cm × 2.0 cm | 4–30 KB | Black ink on white paper, cropped tightly |
| 10th Admit Card / Marksheet | PDF format | Under 300 KB | Age proof; all text must remain readable |
| Caste Certificate (if applicable) | PDF format | Under 300 KB | Ensure stamp/signature remains sharp |
Accuracy note: Some portals may ask for pixels instead of cm, or slightly different KB ranges. Treat the table as a practical checklist and follow your portal's latest instructions for final submission.
2) Preparing the medical standard photograph
For BSc Nursing and Pharmacy admissions, your photo must look professional: clean background, sharp facial features, and correct aspect ratio.
The gold standard steps
- Natural light: Take the photo in daylight facing a window. Avoid harsh overhead lights that create shadows under the eyes.
- Solid white background: A plain white wall/sheet is safest. Patterned or dark backgrounds are a common rejection reason.
- Enhance: If the photo looks grainy, open Enhance Lab to improve clarity and background consistency before resizing.
- Resize to 3.5 • 4.5: Use Resize Lab to match the required dimensions/aspect ratio so your face doesn't look stretched on the admit card.
3) Signature guide: hitting the 30 KB target without blur
Signatures in nursing forms are often capped at a tiny 30 KB. The key is not maximum compressionit's readability first.
Common problem
Blue ink can look faint after compression, and large blank areas (white paper margins) waste file size. Both can push you into the too blurry zone.
The fix
- Use a black gel pen on clean white paper.
- Crop tightly around the signature (remove extra margins).
- Compress with a target: In Compression Lab, use the Target KB option (for example, aim ~25 KB). If it becomes too faint, slightly increase the target KB until it's clearly readable.
4) Using the SarkariPixel Launch Toolkit (NTA/SSC preset)
Even if there isn't a dedicated Nursing button, the NTA and SSC Toolkit presets are practical for JENPAS-UG style uploads because they match common ratios and low-KB targets.
Quick pick
- NTA preset: helpful when you want a slightly higher-resolution, cleaner-looking upload first.
- SSC preset: useful for the classic 3.5×4.5 cm photo workflow and strict low-KB compression order.
Why the Toolkit helps
- Guided order: the Toolkit keeps you on the safe sequence'Enhance first, Resize second, Compress last.
- Less trial & error: presets start you near typical portal limits so you only fine-tune.
- Mobile-first: most aspirants fill forms on phones; the workflow is designed for mobile browsers.
5) Age proof: converting 10th admit card to PDF (under 300 KB)
JENPAS-UG style portals commonly ask for your 10th admit card/marksheet as age proof. The requirement is often PDF and under 300 KB.
Technical reminder: SarkariPixel does not compress PDFs directly. A safe way to produce a smaller PDF is to make the image smaller first, then convert it to PDF.
- Take a clear photo (avoid glare; keep the paper flat).
- Use Compression Lab to aim near ~2–50 KB (or whatever your portal needs) while keeping text readable.
- Use Images → PDF to convert the compressed image into a PDF.
This keeps your Date of Birth and roll details readable while staying closer to size limits.
6) Privacy: why future health professionals trust client-side tools
As a future nurse, pharmacist, or paramedical professional, you already understand data privacy. Uploading Aadhar, marksheets, and certificates to free sites can be risky if files are stored or logged.
- 100% client-side: your documents stay on your device.
- No file database: we don't collect a library of your uploads.
- Runs in your browser: processing happens locally (in-browser).
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I wear a white lab coat in my JENPAS photo?
If the portal doesn't restrict clothing, it's usually allowed. But since the background must be white, a white coat can blend into the background. Safer option: wear normal formal/casual clothing with contrast.
My signature is only 3 KB. Is that okay?
If the minimum is 4 KB, extremely small signatures can become unreadable. Increase quality slightly (or raise your target KB) until the ink looks sharp while staying under the maximum limit.
I don't have a scanner. Can I use my phone camera?
Yes. Use good lighting, keep the page flat, and avoid shadows. Then clean it in Enhance Lab, resize to the required ratio, and compress last.
