How to Resize Signature for GATE 2025
Upload your scanned signature or a clear photo of the signed paper. This page automatically applies the GATE signature defaults: 200 pixels width, 80 pixels height, and a target size inside the 5KB to 200KB range. GATE uniquely allows both JPG and PNG formats — use the format selector to choose your preferred format.
After upload, check the live preview. The signature should be readable and should not touch the edges. Adjust the target KB if needed and download after the status confirms the file is within the GATE range. Keep the same signature for admit card and document verification.
GATE Signature Requirements 2025 — Complete Guide
GATE 2025 requires signatures of 200×80 pixels, between 5KB and 200KB, in JPG or PNG format. GATE is one of the few national engineering exams that accepts PNG in addition to JPG, giving candidates more flexibility. The signature should be handwritten on white paper using black or dark blue ink, scanned at 300 DPI for the clearest result.
The GATE score is used for M.Tech admissions at IITs, NITs, and other institutes, as well as PSU (public sector undertaking) recruitment. The score is valid for three years. Keeping the same consistent signature throughout all applications reduces identity verification issues.
GATE Career Guide — M.Tech and PSU Jobs
GATE opens doors to prestigious M.Tech programs at IITs and NITs, often with MHRD stipend of ₹12,400 to ₹14,000 per month. Students graduating from IIT M.Tech programs frequently receive placements in top companies at ₹20-50 LPA or higher.
PSU recruitment through GATE is equally lucrative. Organizations such as ONGC, BHEL, NTPC, IOCL, BPCL, GAIL, and Power Grid Corporation recruit engineers directly based on GATE scores, with starting CTC ranging from ₹40,000 to ₹60,000 per month including allowances. These positions offer job security, housing allowance, medical benefits, and a stable long-term career.
GATE score is valid for three years, so a good score can be used across multiple application cycles. Engineers targeting both PSU recruitment and M.Tech admission often benefit from a single focused attempt. Research career, ISRO/DRDO recruitment, and teaching positions through GATE also remain popular career paths for top scorers.
