How many attempts are permitted in the UPSC CSE? What is the upper age limit for the IAS exam? Know the IAS exam eligibility details by reading this article.
IAS Exam eligibility as per the latest notification of UPSC (Union Public Services Commission) is discussed here.
We hope this post clears all doubts regarding the number of attempts, age limits, educational qualifications etc permitted for the UPSC Civil Services Exam (popularly known as the IAS exam).
Minimum Educational Qualifications to appear for UPSC Civil Services Exam | IAS Exam Eligibility
Any degree (graduation). From:
- any of the Universities incorporated by an Act of the Central or State Legislature in India.
- or other educational institutions established by an Act of Parliament.
- or declared to be deemed as a University Under Section-3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956.
- or possess an equivalent qualification.
Note: Final-year students can also apply.
For details refer to Educational Qualification Requirement for IAS Exam.
Minimum age to appear for UPSC IAS Exam | IAS Exam Eligibility
The minimum age to appear for IAS Exam is 21 years. This means that the candidate must have at least 21 years of age on 1st August of that given year when the exam is held. For example, if the candidate is appearing for 2023 prelims, he/she should be above 21 years of age by Aug 1, 2023.
Upper age limit to appear for UPSC IAS Exam | IAS Exam Eligibility
The upper age limit is also calculated on the date Aug 1. This means if the candidate is appearing for 2023 prelims, he/she should be below the mentioned maximum limit by Aug 1, 2023. The upper age limit is fixed differently for different categories, which is as given below.
- Upper age limit for the General category: 32 years.
- Upper age limit for OBC: 35 years.
- Upper age limit for SC/ST: 37 Years.
- Upper age limit for Defense Services personnel disabled in operations during hostilities with any foreign country or in a disturbed area and released as a consequence thereof: 35 years.
- Upper age limit for Ex-servicemen including Commissioned Officers and ECOs/SSCOs who have rendered at least five years of Military Service: 37 years.
- Upper age limit for blind, deaf-mute and Orthopaedically handicapped persons (general category): 42 years.
Apart from the mentioned limits, OBC/ SC/ ST candidates will get the benefit of cumulative age relaxation. This means age relaxations get added in special cases, say, for example, if the person is OBC + Ex-servicemen, he will get an extension of 3 + 5 = 8 years, ie his upper age limit now stands at 40 years.
How many attempts are allowed for UPSC Civil Services Exam?
A general category candidate has an age limit of 32 years, but that doesn’t mean that he can write this exam as many times as he wishes. There are some restrictions on the number of times this exam can be taken, which again is different for different categories.
- The number of attempts for the IAS exam: General Category: 6 attempts till 32 years of age.
- The number of attempts for the IAS exam: OBC: 9 attempts till 35 years of age.
- The number of attempts for the IAS exam: SC/ST: unlimited attempts till 37 years of age.
NB: Physically Handicapped /disabled candidates belonging to the General category will get the benefit of 9 attempts till the age prescribed by UPSC – 42 years.
How are attempts for Civil Service Exam calculated?
If you appear for any of the papers of the Civil Services Preliminary Exam, your attempt is counted. If you fill-up the UPSC application form but didn’t go to take the Preliminary Exam, your attempt will NOT BE COUNTED.

I have done hotel management can I applied for upsc.if possible please tell me.which subject I have to take.
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.
@Smaheshwari: Age on Aug 1 is considered. It does not matter if you cross 32 after you gave Prelims.

Hi,
My DOB is 1984. This is my 1st attempt. Am’I eligible?
Plz clearias help me in this issue of age relaxation bcz in yesterday notification jnk candidates don’t get any age relaxation …. I don’t know what could b the reason but I m very tense as I was not expecting this. Plz suggest sth what to do?
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!

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.
