Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2026

VERIFIED against the actual current-cycle SSC CHSL 2026 notification PDF (Notice_of_adv_chsl_2026.pdf, 88 pages, published on ssc.gov.in, application window 07.09.2026-07.10.2026). This directly checks (rather than assumes) the prior pass's 'SSC common standard' hypothesis for CHSL, and confirms it largely holds, with two important corrections: (1) PHOTOGRAPH IS NOT A SEPARATE UPLOADED FILE. Like CGL, the CHSL Online Application Module captures the candidate's photograph LIVE via webcam/mobile camera; candidates unable to use a camera may use a QR code to capture via a mobile app instead. There is no user-supplied photo file with an independent KB/pixel spec in the notice text. The photo values above (200x230px, 20-50KB) are the conventional legacy figures used by resizer tools, NOT stated in the current notice -- treat as placeholder only. (2) THE SAME CM INCONSISTENCY FOUND IN CGL IS ALSO PRESENT IN CHSL'S OWN NOTICE: the main instructions (e.g. 'vi. Candidates are required to upload the scanned signature...') state the signature should be 'about 6.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height)', while a later 'documents to keep ready before OTR' checklist item states 'about 4.0 cm (width) x 2.0 cm (height)' for the same signature upload. Both clauses agree on JPEG format, 10-20 KB. This file uses the main-instructions figure (6.0x2.0cm) as authoritative and documents the 4.0x2.0cm conflicting figure here for transparency. The 140x60px figure is a conventional pixel-equivalent, not stated verbatim (the notice only gives cm + KB, no explicit pixel dimension). No signature ink colour is specified in the notice text.
