    Re: I was born in 1983. Can I appear in IAS exam -2013?

    Hello Friend,

    The maximum age limit is 30 yrs for general candidates. A candidate must not already reach 30 yrs of age on 1 Aug of the year of exam. So, if you were born before 1 Aug' 1983, you aren't eligible to appear in CSE 2013. But if you belong to OBC(non creamy layer) or SC/ST category, you are eligible to appear in IAS exam.

    Thanks,
    goyalk

    Re: I was born in 1983. Can I appear in IAS exam -2013?

    Hello

    NO YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE CIVIL SERVICES.

    The age limits are-
    ~21 to 30 years for General Candidate.
    ~21 to 33 years for OBC.
    ~21 to 35 years for SC/ST,ex-serviceman government service.
    ~21 to 40 years for physically handicapped.

    Your birth date is may/1983,now you must not have achieve the age of 30 years before 1st august in the examination year.But as your date of birth is may,you would attain the age of 30 years before 1st august.Hence,you are not applicable.

    NOTE:The assumptions have been made considering the fact that you belong to a general category.

    Re: I was born in 1983. Can I appear in IAS exam -2013?

    It would be clear, if you have mentioned your category also.

    Below is the eligibility criteria for IAS Exam:

    Educational qualification:

    Any degree from recognized university with at least one of the subjects namely Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and Zoology or a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture, Forestry or in Engineering or an equivalent qualification.

    Age Criteria:

    Minimum: 21 years
    Maximum: 30 years

    Upper age relaxation for reserved category candidates is as follows:

    3 years for OBC.
    5 years for SC/ST
    10 years for PWD & Ex service-men.

    So, as per the criteria, if you belong to any reserved category, then you have chances to apply for this exam.

    Next UPSC Civil services Preliminary exam is on 19-05-2013.

    Date of Notification: 02-02-2013.

    Last date for receipt of application: 04-03-2013.
