Frequently asked questions

What does 'age as on' a date mean?

It is the cut-off date on which your age is counted, such as 1 August 2026. Your age on that day decides eligibility.

How is the upper age limit counted?

Most notifications say you must not have attained the upper age on the cut-off date. For 21–32 on 1 Aug 2025, that means born not earlier than 2 Aug 1993 and not later than 1 Aug 2004.

How much age relaxation do categories get?

For most central government jobs: OBC 3 years, SC/ST 5 years and PwBD 10 years (13 for OBC, 15 for SC/ST). Some exams and states differ.

Can I add ex-servicemen or other relaxation?
