    First of all
    LET ME KNOW .. WHICH CATEGORY YOU BELONG TO ..
    As per my Calculations ... by THIS YEAR 12/12/2013 .. you will successfully complete your "" 21 "" YEARS

    Also follow the below AGE LIMIT CRITERIA


    If you are ..


    GENERAL CANDIDATE -- NOT ELIGIBLE

    SC / ST CANDIDATE --- ELIGIBLE ( Because there is 5 years relaxation )

    dear aspirant,

    you did not mentioned about your category. if you are from general category then you can't apply for SCRA exam and if you are from OBC or SC/ST categories then you can apply for SCRA exam in 2014. According to UPSC for SCRA your age must be within 17 years to 21 years. there is also applicable relaxation in upper age limit upto 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST aspirants.

    for SCRA you must have completed or pursuing in 12th with Mathematics and Physics or Chemistry from recognized Board or college.

    SCRA is conducted by UPSc every year for the posts in Railways. SCRA exam is good way to join Indian Railways for various posts.

    Good Luck....

    hi
    I am sorry to say but you are not eligible for giving the SCRA exam that is about to held in the year 2014.
    For giving this exam, it is compulsory that you should be a 12th class passed student with physics, chemistry and mathematics as your main subjects and your age should be in between 17-21 years.
    And next year you will cross 21 years age therefore you are not allowed to give the exam.

    SCRA stands for Special Class Railway Apprentice. The UPSC conducts SCRA examination every year.

    The essential requisites for SCRA examination are:

    * Candidate must have completed higher secondary (12th) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main subjects from any recognized board with 55% marks.

    * SC/ST candidates with 50% marks in +2 are eligible for this examination.

    * Appearing candidates in class 12th are ineligible for this examination.

    * Age limit criteria:

    17-21 years (for General candidates)

    A relaxation in upper age of 3 years and 5 years is granted to OBC and SC/ST candidates respectively.

    Now, according to your query

    if you belong to General category you are ineligible for the examination next year but if you belong to OBC / SC / ST category you can apply for the examination.

    Thanks.
