Exam age limit calculators
Check whether your date of birth meets the age limit for India’s main government and defence exams, using the cutoff dates and relaxations from the official notices.
How these calculators work
Each calculator holds the rules from that exam’s latest official notification: the date your age is counted on, the minimum and maximum age, and any category relaxation. Where the next exam hasn’t been notified yet, it is marked expected and uses the previous rules, so you can plan ahead. Expected results are updated as soon as the new notice is published.
Indian exam notices treat the upper limit as an age you must not have reached on the cutoff date. For UPSC 2026, “21 to 32 years on 1 August 2026” means born between 2 August 1994 and 1 August 2005, so someone who turns 32 on or before 1 August is out.
For any other exam, use the age calculator: set “Age as on” to the cutoff date and enter the limits from the notice.
