Why does UPSC require 110×140 specifically?
It's the digital equivalent of the standard Indian passport-size photograph (3.5 × 4.5 cm at 80 DPI). UPSC's portal specifically validates this size — uploading 100×140 or 120×140 fails the upload check.

Yes, if scanned at 80 DPI giving 110×140 pixels. Most photo studios provide a passport-size photograph alongside print copies — get this for any government online form.
