| Requirement | Value |

MAHACET states the requirement in centimetres, but the file picker shows pixels. At 300 dpi — the standard reading for scanned documents — 3.5 cm is 413 pixels and 4.5 cm is 531.
The signature is 3.5 × 1.5 cm, or 413 × 177 pixels, and must stay under 30 KB while remaining above 1 KB.
The same specification covers every CAP admission run through the portal — LLB, MBA, MCA, B.Ed and engineering — so one file serves them all. The full working is in the MHT-CET guide.
