Every government exam has a minimum and maximum age, and reserved categories get extra years (called ‘age relaxation’). Pick your exam, enter your date of birth and category, and check in seconds whether your age fits — based on the age rules of recent notifications. Final eligibility is always decided by the official notification and the recruiting body; this checker is a preparation aid (see our Disclaimer).
