    Yes dear,

    The exam notification is declared by the upsc in the month of the march-2013. But you complete the age 30 years in the month of the May.


    So you have one chance to give the exam.


    The age limit for the exam is the 21 to 30 years.4 times you give the exam.


    Best of luck.

    Hi
    I am very sorry to say but you are not eligible for giving the upsc civil services examination at the age of 30 years.
    The reason being that the age limit for giving this examination is 21-30 years.
    And as you belong to the general category there is no reservation for you and hence unfortunately you are not eligible

    • For IAS, civil services examination is conducted by the UPSC every year.
    • It has total three stages which are preliminary exam, main exam and interview.
    • Since the exam of year 2013 has already been conducted, you can not apply for the same.
    • But however for next year also, you are not eligibile to apply for this exam due to overage.
    • The age limit prescribed here is 21 years to 30 years.
    • There is no age relaxations for the general category students.
