Indian government jobs have specific upper-age limits with category-based relaxation (OBC +3 years, SC/ST +5 years, PwD +10 years). Enter your DOB and the calculator shows your current age plus eligibility status for major exams: UPSC CSE (21-32), SSC CGL (18-27 or 18-30), Railway RRB (18-33), IBPS PO (20-30), and state PSCs.
When to use this
Use when: planning which exams you're still eligible for, deciding whether to attempt UPSC one more time before age-out, applying for SSC / Railway recruitment, checking category-relaxed eligibility (OBC / SC / ST / PwD / Ex-servicemen).
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the latest UPSC age cap?
21-32 years (general category) as of 2026. OBC: 21-35 (+3 years), SC/ST: 21-37 (+5 years), PwD: 21-42 (+10 years), Ex-servicemen: case-by-case relaxation. The calculator applies these automatically based on your selected category.
Does it account for the cutoff date?
Yes - most exams set the age cutoff date (Jan 1 of the exam year, July 1 for some). Pick the exam and the calculator uses the right cutoff. Example: UPSC 2026 uses Aug 1, 2026 as the cutoff, so your DOB must be between Aug 2, 1994 and Aug 1, 2005 for general category.
