    Re: Can I appear to Civil Services Examination at the age of 38 yrs? I am a government servant.

    Sorry to say,
    You are not eligible for the exam. Because the age limit for the exam is the 21-30 years for the unreserved category.

    The age relaxation for the obc category is the 3 years, and age relaxation for the 5 years for the sc/st.

    There is no age relaxation for the government servant or the retired person.

    So you have only option you go with the present job,

    Best of luck for the exam

    Re: Can I appear to Civil Services Examination at the age of 38 yrs? I am a government servant.

    I am sorry to say dear that you are not eligible to apply for Civil Services exam because you have crossed the maximum age limitation which is mostly required for civil services exam and following :

    >> Age should not be less than 21 years and more than 30 years and relaxation in age as per government rules

    >> 5 years upper age relaxation would be provided to Scheduled Caste and S. Tribe category candidates

    >> 3 years upper age relaxation would be provided to Other Backward Classes Category candidates

    >> 10 years upper age relaxation would be provided to PWD Category candidates

    >> 5 years upper age relaxation would be provided to Ex-Servicemen Category candidates

    >> Relaxation for Widow, Divorced and Separated lady would be provided as per government guidelines

    No. of Attempts for various category candidates

    >> General Category candidates can apply for this exam only 4 times

    >> OBC Category candidates can apply for this exam only 7 times

    >> There is no limit for SC/ST/PWD/ESM candidates to apply but they can apply for this exam only till the maximum age limit means SC/ST/ESM may apply till 35 years and PWDs are eligible for 40 years.

    You have crossed your maximum age limit and if you belong to PWD category then you can apply otherwise there is no chance for you in civil services and any other government jobs also.

    All the best

    No you can not apply for UPSC exam after the age 38 , becuase you has overage.

    The age criteri is
    For gen. - 21 to 30
    For obc - 21 to 33
    For sc/st - 21 to 35

    So you overagethis age criteri.

    Hello

    NO YOU CAN NOT APPLY FOR THE CIVIL SERVICES.

    There is age relaxation for the ex-government service man,your age age has even crossed that limit.You must notice the following age limits that is for different candidates.
    The age limits are-

    1)21 to 30 years for general candidate
    21 to 33 years for OBC
    21 to 35 years for SC/ST
    21 to 35 years for ex-serviceman candidate.
    21 to 40 years for physically handicapped challenge persons.

    So you can see that your age has crossed the limit of the required limit,hence you are not applicable.For more details visit the official website of UPSC

    Well sorry to say you are not eligible for Civil Services examination.....

    The minimum eligibility for Civil services is you must complete the graduation from any recognized university.

    And the age is in between 21-30 years..The upper age limit will be applicable for ST/SC/OBC candidates....

    3 years for OBC

    5 years for ST/SC.....

    So you are not eligible for civil services examination........
