Age Eligibility Calculator

Your exact age on the exam's cut-off date, and whether you're eligible after age relaxation.

These are the usual relaxations for central government jobs. Some exams and states use different rules, so check your notification.

Your age

How age is counted for exams

Every notification gives a cut-off date ("age as on 01-08-2026"). Your age is counted on that date, not on the day you apply. If the limit is 18–27 years, you must have turned 18 by that date and not yet turned 28.

Frequently asked questions

What does "not more than 27 years" mean?

You are eligible up to the day before your 28th birthday, counted on the cut-off date.

How is relaxation added?

Relaxation raises only the upper age limit. For example, 27 years + 3 years for OBC = 30 years.

Is my date of birth saved?

No. The calculation happens on your device and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
