      Dear Vikram,

      It is worth to start preparing for UPSC exams at any age. You do have your chances for clearing IAS, if you can do a serious effort. There is no proof for UPSC preference for low age candidates and don’t worry on those lines. ClearIAS.com suggests you to start preparation at the earliest. All the best!

  69. Smaheshwari says

    February 22, 2016 at 12:14 pm

    Whether age limit of 32 years for general category is relevant as on the date of filling the form or by 32 age you should be done with your ias exams. E.g. I was born in Jan 1987, as on Feb 2016 I have completed 29 years and two months. So I I appear for 2017 prelim exam, I would be completing 30.5 years. Now suppose if someone completes 32 years and passed out IAS prelim exam, so can that person appear for mains exams or not.

    • ClearIAS.com says

      February 24, 2016 at 7:42 am

      @Smaheshwari: Age on Aug 1 is considered. It does not matter if you cross 32 after you gave Prelims.

    Consider a person is from General category (IAS limit 32 years) and joined Army as an officer at age of 25 yrs, then he happens to retire/leave at age of 30 yrs, now what will be the Upper limit for him
    (I) would it be 32 yrs as he is from Gen. category or will it be 37 yrs because now he is Ex-Servicemen ?
    (II) Or will it be something totally different for Gen + Ex Servicemen like in case of OBC + Ex servicemen ?

    Will UPSC allow me to appear for the exam in 2017, since I miss the age limit by such a small margin?

    Is it correct that general and reserved people’s age limits are different? A day can change your destiny but here government is giving reserved people years to set their career. I have no problem with reserved people but my concern is only even we should get quite more age relaxation.

    There should be an age limit of 40years.People with experience in different fields can also join. With experience administration can be better. Then what about those who were unaware and realise late that they want to get into ias. Shouldnt they get a chance too like many others who get chances based on other criteria like caste, income and disability.

    • ClearIAS.com says

      February 8, 2018 at 9:28 am

      Hi Sonam, there was age relaxation for J&K aspirants, until December 31, 2015. See link – https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Age-bar-for-IAS-exam-will-continue-to-be-relaxed-for-Kashmiri-aspirants/articleshow/44658412.cms. But it seems the same has not been extended since. As we always insist (and mentioned in the disclaimer above), always check the UPSC notification for the latest information, as government/UPSC alter the criteria often.

      PS: You may check with UPSC office for further clarification. If you crossed the age-limit, believe that you are destined for something better. All the best!

    Please ClearIas clear my doubt too, I’m in 5th semester now and according to UPSC Eligibility Criteria I’m eligible for UPSC exam. Suppose I’ve done the Prelims (on 3rd June 2018) and make it to the Mains (on 3rd Nov 2018) but I’m confuse when they gonna ask for the proof of graduation degree before Mains or after Mains, if they ask before Mains I don’t think it is possible to submit but if they ask after Mains I.e before Personal Test (which will be held in 2019 July- August I guess) I think it will be bit chance’s to submit the graduation certificate…. please ClearIas let me know this!!!!!

      Hi Vishal, please use this age calculator. As per UPSC requirements, if you are a general category candidate, to attempt UPSC Prelims 2019, you should not cross 32 years as on August 1, 2019.

      In other words, if you are a general category candidate, you must have been born not earlier than 2nd August, 1987 and not later than 1st August, 1998 – to appear for UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Exam 2019.
