    yes, you are considered for IAS 2012 if you have filled it this year during mar/apiril as now application has been already closed by upsc even if you are falls in general cateogory.

    as UPSC put-up the upper age limit cut-off on the closing date of application which is in april and then you are approximately below 30 years of the age which is age cut-of for the general cateogory

    besides that you have :-

    relaxation for obc is 3 years which is 21-33 years ,he/she can give the examination.

    relaxation for SC/ST is 5 years which is 21-35 years ,he/she can give the examination.

    so go according to your category.

    good luck.

    Dear,
    The age limit of the UPSC CSAT examination is 21-30years. There is also age relaxation of 3years for OBC, 5years for SC/ST and 10years for PH candidates. If you dont complete the chances to appear within the age limit (4 chances for general candidates, 7 chances for OBC and upto the age limit chances for SC/ST/PH candidates), and if you are in the reserved categories, then You can appear the examination. The advertisement for 2012 has already been published. And if you apply this year, then you definitely get the chance to appear. For further details, please visit www.upsc.gov.in Thanks...

    Hey friend,

    Yeah you can write the CSAT and the main exam at the age of 30 years as you satisfy the age limit needed for writing them.

    The Indian Civil Service exam is conducted every year for the posts of IAS,IPS,IFS

    There are criteria's which you need to possess and they may include such as:

    > Candidate should be a citizen of India

    > The age limit is that the candidate must have 21-30 years.

    > For SC/ST it is 21-35 and for OBC it is 21-33 years.

    > Education qualification needed is that the candidate must have completed a degree from a recognized university with a fair percentage.

    If you satisfy all these above criteria's then you can apply for the exams

    Dear, Sorry to say that if you belongs to General Category than you are not eligible. Because as per the Advertisement of Civil Services Exam-2011 published by the UPSC "You must not have attain the age of 30 yrs. on 1.8.11". So, the same thing happened this year that is on 2012. But, if you belongs to OBC than you can apply up to 33 yrs. and if you belongs to SC/ST than you can apply up to 35 yrs. Dear, if you are dam sure that you are interested only in Civil Services than you can also proceed to your states PUBLIC COMMISSION.Thanx.

    Re: Am I eligible for CSAT and its mains at the age of 30 years? My date of birth is 01-08-1982.

    The age limit for the various catagory is below :
    21-30 for general cast
    21-33 for obc cast
    21-35 for SC/ST cast
    21-35 for ex-serviceman
    21-40 for physically handicapped .

    now as your age will be 30 in current year and according to above criteria , if you belong to general cast then you have no chance for giving the exam .

    But if you not belong to general cast then you are eligible for the exam .

    So if you not eligible then go for the other exam but otherwise if eligible then start the preparation for the exam and give it .

    good luck

    1. General 21 years to 30 years
    2. OBC 21 years to 33 years
    3. SC/ST 21 years to 35 years
