Minimum age is 21 years. Maximum depends on category: OBC +3 yrs, SC/ST +5 yrs, PwD up to +10 yrs, Ex-servicemen +5 yrs.

Understanding UPSC Age Rules

UPSC exams use a strict age criteria combining minimum age, maximum age, and category-based relaxations. This calculator ensures accurate age breakdown (years, months, days) on the chosen cutoff date.

Why Cutoff Date Matters

Normal Age Limits:

  • Minimum Age: 21 years
  • Maximum Age (General): 32 years
  • OBC: 32 + 3 = 35 years
  • SC/ST: 32 + 5 = 37 years
  • PwD: up to 10 years extra (varies)
  • Ex-Servicemen: +5 years
