    Re: Am I eligible for Civil Services Exam -2013 at the age of 33 years?

    Hi Aspirant,

    Sorry friend in the age of 33 years you can not apply for civil service exam.

    You crossed the age limit for civil service exam.

    You can apply for Civil Service exam only if you belong to SC/ST category.


    Here I write the eligibility criteria for civil service exam

    You should have graduation degree in any stream from recognized university or its equivalent.

    Final year candidates of graduation can also apply for Civil Service exam

    There is no restriction of percentage for civil service exam.

    You should be in age of 21 to 30 years.

    Age relaxation

    SC/ST + 5 years

    OBC + 3 years

    PH + 10 years

    You should be the citizen of India.

    So now you can apply for civil service exam only in one condition if you belong to Civil Service exam.

    Re: Am I eligible for Civil Services Exam -2013 at the age of 33 years?

    Dear friend,

    Civil services examination is conducted by UPSC once in a year.

    It has issued some guidelines and provisions for appearing in the exam.

    And as You said your age is 33 then according to age limit provided by UPSC If you belong to SC/ST then there is not a problem in applying for the civil services exam.

    Problem arises If you belong to General or OBC category because for these categories you have crossed the age limit and so you are not eligible for the exam.

    But you have chances to appear for the belonging to SC/ST category.

    Here below I am providing you the age limits for various categories which will make you more clear:-

    General- 21 to 30 yrs

    OBC- 21 to 33 yrs

    SC/ST- 21 to 35 yrs

    PH- 21 to 40 yrs

    Like wise there are also limited no. of attempts for the exam. You should also keep this in mind.

    General- 4 attempts

    OBC- 7 attempts

    SC/St- unlimited attempts

    Re: Am I eligible for Civil Services Exam -2013 at the age of 33 years?

    Well the age limit in civil service exam is purely depends upon your caste,which you didn't specify* For general caste age limit varies from 21 - 30 years* For OBC (Over Backward Class) it is from 21 - 33 years and* For SC (Schedule Caste) & ST (Schedule Tribe) varies from 21 - 35 years.So if you belong to SC or ST caste you can surely write civil service exams .....All the best....

    As per UPSC age eligibility if you belong to R category then only you can apply for Civil Services.More over in 2013 it is not possible because notification/date of application /submission of application ended in the 1st part of the year 2013.

    UPSC AGE eligibility(Civil Services):-

    1.General: 21-30 years.

    2.OBC: 21-33 years.

    3.S/C S/T: 21-35 years.

    So that you are eligible for Civil Services at the age of 34 years' if you belong to other then General/OBC category at the age of 24 years.

    Thank You,

    Dear Aspirant

    Though UPSC has fixed a minimum eligibility criteria for civil service examination but the benefits of reservation system can help if you belong to SC/ST category or OBCs category.Beacause these category has some privileges of age limit.

    The minimum eligibility criteria fixed by the commission for the age limits is 21 years irrespective of the category you belongs.The upper age limit has been fixed to 30 years.However upper age limits has been relaxed by 3 years for OBC category and 5 years for SC/ST respectively.So if you belong to SC/ST or OBCs category then you may try for civil service examination.
