    Hello Friend,

    If you belong to general category, then you can't apply. The upper age limit for OBC(non creamy layer) is 33 yrs and for SC/ST is 35 years. OBC creamy layer is considered as general category. So, decide for you according to the category you fall under.

    Thanks,

    Dear UPSC board conducts various exams and if you are asking for Civil Services or Police Services or Economic Services or Forest Services then the age limitation is following for all over mentioned exams :

    >> Candidate's age should not be less than 21 years and more than 30 years

    >> Upper age relaxation would be provided to reserved category candidates

    >> 5 years upper age relaxation for SC/ST and 3 years upper age relaxation for OBC Category

    >> 10 years upper age relaxation for PWDs and 5 years upper age relaxation for Ex-Servicemen

    Note : If you belong to SC/ST or OBC category or any other mentioned category which gets relaxations in upper age then you are eligible to apply for UPSC exams otherwise if you are in general category then we are sorry that you have crossed the maximum age limit which is required for Civil Services exam and you can not apply for this exam because there is no relaxation provided to general category candidates for Civil Services or any other services exams by UPSC board and by Government too.

    Friend, if you belong to general category, then you are not allowed to appear for UPSC Examination. But if you belong to any reserved category, then you have very fair chances to apply for UPSC Examination. This can be well understand by you just have a look on the below mentioned age limits: * 21-30 years for General category * 21-33 years for OBC category * 21-35 years for Scheduled Caste category * 21-35 years for Scheduled Tribe categoryIf you belongs to any reserved category, then you should start preparing for UPSC Examinations right now.You must possess any bachelor degree as it is the basic required educational qualification.
