Common Rejection Reasons
AFCAT uses a rectangular passport-style photo, unlike NDA/CDS's square format — a UPSC OTR photo reused here will be the wrong shape.
AFCAT's KB ranges differ from NDA/CDS's OTR limits — reusing a file prepared for a different defence exam can miss the target.

AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test), run by the Indian Air Force rather than through UPSC's OTR system, uses the more familiar passport-style rectangular photo (3.5×4.5cm) rather than NDA/CDS's square format — a genuinely different shape, so don't reuse a UPSC-prepared photo here. The KB range is tighter too, at 10-50KB. As with other defence entries, your photo carries through to SSB interview shortlisting, so prioritize a clear, professional, recent shot over convenience.
