You haven't stated the category you belongs to. If you are from an general category, then at 30 years you won't be eligible for the civil services examination as per the criteria your age must be below 30 years. However if you comes under the OBC category, then with the age relaxations of three years in upper age limit, you will be eligible for civil services examination as maximum age becomes 33 years. And same thing applies to the sc/st category, here five years age relaxations is given in upper age limit which makes maximum age to 35 years. You need to provide the caste category certificate for that.

Yes a 30 years old age candidate can appear for UPSC - civil services exam but only following conditions :

1. When he/she belong to SC/ST category because SC/ST category candidates are allowed to appear for this exam till 35 years of age after getting relaxation of 5 years by the government rules

2. When he/she belong to OBC category because OBC category candidates get 3 years upper age relaxation by government and allowed to appear for exam till 33 years of age and total 7 times

3. When he/she belong to Ex-Servicemen category and PWD category because PWD candidates will get 10 years upper age relaxation and allowed till 40 years and Ex-Servicemen category candidates are allowed till 35 years of age

4. But if he/she belong to general category then not eligible to apply for civil services exam after 30 years of age and 4 times.

To give Civil services exam, the minimum required age limit is 21 years and maximum is 30 years for general category.

There is upper age relaxation as follows for reserved category candidates.

The minimum age limit is 21 years and maximum is 33 years for OBC Category.

The minimum age limit is 21 years and maximum is 35 years for SC/ST Category.

So, if you belong to general category, then you are not eligible to give Civil services exam.

But if you belong to any reserved category, then you have chances to apply for the exam.

This year civil services prelims exam was over and the result was also declared, Mains exam will be conducted in the month of December 2013.

Dear friend,

I would like to tell you that If you belong to General category then this is your last time that you can apply for the civil services exam.

Although if you belong to SC/St and OBC then you have time to appear for the exam.

Age criteria is an important aspect for the civil services exam.

There is an age relaxation scheme given only for the reserved categories.

If you come under any of the reserved category then there is nothing much to worry about.

Here below is the age criteria for the exam:-

General- It is 21 to 30 yrs for this category.

Minimum age limit is same for reserved categories also only the upper age limit varies.

OBC- If you belong to OBC category you have 3 yrs of gae relaxation i.e, you can appear for 33yrs maximum.

SC/ST- If you belong to this category you have 5 yrs of age relaxation i.e, you can appear for 35 yrs maximum.

PH- Upper age limit is 40 yrs.

Also you should keep in mind the number of attempts for the exam as it is also limited like:-

For General you can appear only 4 times.

For OBC its 7 attempts.

For SC/ST there is no restriction as such. you can appear as many times till you reach your upper age limit.

The age limit for General candidates is 2-30 years for Civil services.
There are relaxations based on caste and other factors as follows:

21-33years for OBC Non creamy layer candidates

21-35years for SC/ST candidates

21-35years for Ex Servicemen

21-40years for Physically handicapped persons

If you fall under any of these category then you are eligible for Civil Services.If you are from General candidate,you can not apply for Civil Service any more.

Dear Friend,

Civil services examination is conducts by UPSC Once in every year.

For that examination candidates should be graduate from any recognized university and also can apply in last year of graduation.

Age Limit :-

candidates must be under 21-30 years , 3 years of age relaxation for BC candidates and 5 years of age relaxation for SC/ST candidates.

So, at the age 30 years you are eligible for civil services examination.

Good Luck....

hi
I am sorry to say that being into the general category and being 30 years of age, you are not eligible for giving the upsc IAS exam. Because the age limit for giving this exam is 21-30 years. The age of the candidate should be less than 30 years of age.
There is a relaxation given to the obc and the sc/st category of 3 and 5 years respectively

The age limit for Civil Services exam is 21 to 30 years for General Category candidates.

If you are General Category candidate then you are not eligible to apply for Civil Services examination.

But if you belong to any of the reserved category then you can avail age relaxation and appear for Civil Services Examination.

SC/ST candidates get 5 years relaxation and OBC get 3 years relaxation. So if you belong to any of these category then surely you can apply for the exam.

Now it is up to you to decide whether you are eligible or not because you haven't mentioned your category in this question.

The selection is purely on merit and you have to score top marks in prelims, mains and interview to get selected for any civil service of your choice.

Yes ::
Age Criteria : 21yrs to 30yrs
