    As per the instruction of the UPSC maximum age limit for physically handicapped candidate is 40 years. If you are under 40 year then you are eligible.
    And if you are over 40 years then you can't..
    If you are over 40 years of age then you can try for State Civil Service Exam..
    Thanks..
