Common Application Mistakes
- ✗File size too large:
If your photo is 2MB but the portal requires max 50KB, it will not upload. You must compress it.

Using cheap compression tools can pixelate your signature, leading to application rejection.
- ✗Wrong file extension:
Submitting a .png when only .jpg is allowed will result in an upload error.
