2) OBC candidates ( non creamy ) can give the exam 7 times within their allowed age limit. they are also given upper age relaxation for 3 years. so the permissible age limit for them is 21- 33 years of age.
3) However there is no restriction on number of attempts for SC/ST candidates. They can appear any number of times as long as they fullfill the age criteria .
Sc/ST candidates are given age relaxation for 5 years . So the eligible age limit is 21- 35 years.
the reference date for calculating age is 1st august of the year you are applying for the exam.
