    Re: How many times a student with Open Category can appear in UPSC exam?

    First of all i want to tell you that there is no such examination which is known as U.P.S.C. examination.
    U.P.S.C. is a central agency which conducts various examinations.
    Examinations which are conducted by U.P.S.C. are as follows:-

    1)Civil Service Examination
    2)Engineering Service Examination
    3)Indian Police Service Examination
    4)Indian Forest Service Examination
    5)Combined Medical Service Examination
    6)National Defense Academy & Naval Academy Examination (1) & (2)
    7)S.C.R.A.
    8)Combined Defense Service Examination (1) & (2)
    9)Geologists' Examination
    10)S.O./Steno (GD-B/GD-I) LTD. DEPTTL. Competitive Examination
    11)Central Police Forces(AC) Examination

    For Civil service examination/Indian police service exam/Indian forest service/Engineering service examination:-

    Number of attempts for open category is four
    For O.B.C. is seven
    For SC/ST is unlimited

    But for C.D.S. there is nothing like number of attempts.
    If the age of the candidate lies between the age limit candidate can apply for the examination.

    For INDIAN MILITARY ACADEMY:- 19-24 years
    FOR NAVAL ACADEMY:- 19-22 years
    FOR AIR FORCE ACADEMY:- 19-23 years
    FOR OFFICERS TRAINING ACADEMY:- 19-25 years

    For N.D.A. & N.A. exam also age must be lies between 16.5-19 years.
