Questions
How is age calculated for government exams?
On a fixed cut-off date stated in the notification — not the exam date and not the date you apply. That single fact decides most borderline cases, which is why this calculator asks for the cut-off separately.
What age relaxation do I get?
Typically three years for OBC non-creamy-layer, five for SC/ST, ten for PwBD, and three for ex-servicemen after deducting military service. Individual notifications override these, so every value here is editable.
Are these limits official?
No. They are transcribed from public sources and none has been verified against a notification, which the page states on every result. Age limits change every cycle and differ by post within the same exam.
I am just over the limit. Is that final?
Not necessarily. Many exams have several posts with different upper limits, and state exams often relax further for domicile categories. The notification is the only authority.
