    Yes friend you are eligible to apply for the civil service exam under OBC category.

    You will also receive the age relaxation and reservation in the merit lists

    OBC candidates get the age relaxation of 3 years. Its mean that you can apply for civil exam till the age of 33 years.

    And you will also get the relaxation in attempts , you can give 7 attempts in civil service exam.
