How age is counted for a government exam

  1. Find the cut-off date in the notification. It is a fixed date, not the day you apply.
  2. Work out your age on that date in years, months and days.
  3. Add the relaxation for your category to the General upper limit.
  4. You are eligible if you have completed the minimum age and have not completed one year beyond your maximum.

Example: with a General upper limit of 32 and a cut-off of 1 August, a candidate born on 2 August 1993 is still within the limit, while one born on 1 August 1993 has turned 33 and is not.

Frequently Asked Questions

On which date is my age counted?

On the cut-off date printed in the exam notification, not on the day you apply.

How is age relaxation applied?

The usual pattern adds 3 years for OBC (non-creamy layer), 5 for SC/ST, and 10, 13 or 15 for PwBD in General/EWS, OBC and SC/ST. EWS gets none. Check the notification for exceptions.

Is the result official?

No. It is a quick check. The exam notification decides eligibility.

What if I turn the minimum age after the cut-off date?

You are not eligible for that cycle. The calculator tells you the date you reach the minimum age so you can plan for the next notification.

Do EWS candidates get age relaxation?

No. EWS candidates are treated like General category for age limits, though they may get other benefits such as fee concessions.
