    Hi friend,
    Hope you are in good health!

    See the eligibility criteria for a general category candidate is that he must have attained the age of 21 years and must not have attained the age of 30 years on 1st August 2013.

    The upper age limit prescribed above will be relaxable:
    (i) upto a maximum of five years if a candidate belongs to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe.
    (ii) upto a maximum of five years if a candidate had ordinarily been domiciled in the State of Jammu & Kashmir during the period from the 1st January, 1980 to the 31st day of December, 1989.

    So if you go according to the above criteria,then I'm sorry to say that you fail to satisfy the criteria because you'll be 36 by 1st August 2013.

    But nevertheless,you can go for other exams!
    Bye!

    Sorry, dear you are not eligible for IAS exam, because you are over age.

    Your age is above the given criteria by UPSC

    Your age will above 35 year as on 1st August 2013.

    So you can not apply for this exam

    Best of Luck
