    Hi friend,

    I am very sorry to say that you cannot sit in the exam.
    There are some restrictions on the age of the candidates who can sit for the exam.
    The age criteria is as following:

    A candidate must have attained the age of 21 years and must not have attained the age of 30 years on 1st August, in the year of examination.

    The upper age limit prescribed above will be relaxable in the following cases:

    -> Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe: upto a maximum of five years.
    -> Other Backward Classes: upto a maximum of three years.
    ->State of Jammu & Kashmir (Domiciled during the period from the 1st January, 1980 to 31st December,
    1989): upto a maximum of five years.
    -> Defence Services personnel : upto a maximum of five years.

    Since you fail to satisfy this criteria,you cannot sit in the exam!

    bye!

    • No, you are not eligible for the civil services examination after attaining the age of 40 years.
    • For this, your age must be in between the 21 years to the 30 years.
    • If you are from other backward classes (OBC) category, then due to age relaxations of three years, the age limit becomes 21 years to 33 years.
    • If you are from an sc/st category, then five years relaxations in ages is given which makes the age limit 21 years to 35 years.
    • So you can see above, even considering all provision of Age relaxations, the upper age limit does not reach above 40 years, which makes you not eligible.

    Sorry 40 years old person is not eligible for IAS exam.

    The age limit for IAS exam is 21 to 30 years if you are general category.

    There is age relaxation for SC/ST for 5 years , 3 years for OBC and 10 years for Physically handicapped.

    I don�t think you are physically handicapped as you haven�t mentioned anything about it.

    Hence i am sorry to say that you are not eligible for IAS exam with this age.

    Hi

    I am really sorry to say that being 40 years old, YOU ARE NO MORE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY GOVERNMENT JOB !

    The required age limits for the UPSC exams lies within 16.5 years to a maximum 35 years (that too the latter for the SC/ST).

    Since you are way above it, I am really sorry you cannot apply for the Civil Service Examination.

    All the best

    civil services examination is a high level examination conducted by upsc every year.
    the age limit to appear for this examination is 21-30 years .

    as per your present age you are not eligible to appear for th e civil services examination.
    but there is an age relaxation for the obc and the SC/ST category aspirants .
    the age relaxation for the OBC aspirants is 3 years while the age relaxation for the SC/ST category is of 5 years.

    apart from that there is an age relaxation of 10 years for the physically handicap aspirants .
    so if you are physically handicap and OBC or SC/ST category aspirants then you can appear for this examination otherwise you can't .
