    * Its very good to know that you are keen and have an urge to appear for Civil services exam.....!!

    * But you see that the age limit to appear for this exam is 21 to 30 years..!

    * This is the age limit which has been fixed by the Union Public Service Commission, India..

    * The age limit is same for open categories but is relaxable upto 3 years for BC and upto 5 years for SC and ST candidates...!

    * So maximum 35 years of age for SC/ST and 33 for BC to appear...!

    * You haven't mentioned your caste but said that you are 38 currently...

    * If you be any caste, you have crossed the maximum age limit ....!

    * So, sorry to say this that you are not eligible in the grounds of age ...

    * And you cannot appear for Civil services exam of UPSC....!!

    * Dont worry...Since you serve the Government already.....!!

    Sorry to say,

    You are not eligible for the exam; there is no age relaxation for the government employee for the civil service exam.


    The age limit for the exam is the 21 to 30 years for the unreserved category.


    The age relaxation for the reserved category.


    3 years for the OBC category and 5 years for the SC/ST cateogy.


    So there is no age relaxation for you.


    Best of luck for the future

    So friend you are overage this criteria .

    Cool Re: My age is 38. I'm a government servant. Can I appear in Civil Services?

    hello sir,


    i am really to say sir that you have now crossed the age limit.

    because for CIVIL SERVICE age should be 21 to 30 years.

    age relaxation for obc 3 years, sc/st 5 years, for ex-servicemen 5 years, for ph 10 years.

    so you can see clearly that you have crossed age limit.


    all the best
