dear friend,

as you say you are belongs to the categories of Ex Serviceman and OBC.
for OBC you have relaxation of 3 years in upper age and for Ex-Serviceman you have relaxation of 5 years in upper age limit. so total relaxation for you in Upper age limit is 8 years.
so for you the age limit for IAS exam is: 21 years to 38 years. as you should not reach 38 years on 1 August 2012 so you can apply for IAS/IPS exam in 2012.
but as last date for submission for application form for IAS/IPS exam is already over. and next year you can able to apply for IAS/IPS exam.

in this year you have chance for apply in CPF exam. and if you have Engineering degree then you can also apply for IES exam.



Good Luck.......

sir,

the age relaxation is same for ex-services man which is for five years.

the age limit as under:-

for general- 21-30 years.
for sc/st -21-35 years.
for obc -21-33 years.

as you are an obc aspirant and also an ex service man than now your age is 38 years .

that means after getting age relaxation of five years you are not in between the age limit so you are not eligible for upsc examination.

The age criteria for the CSE exam is below :
21-30 for general cast
21-33 for obc cast
21-35 for sc/st cast
21-35 for ex-serviceman
21-40 for physically handicapped .

Now as you mentioned you are a soldier so that you belong to ex-serviceman catagory ,
In ex-serviceman catagory the maximum age limit is 35 .
Now your birth year is 1974 so that currently your age is 38 which is more than limit .

So as per the rules you are not eligible for the exam .

Because you can't fulfill the age criteria .

So go for other exams where you can eligible .

good luck

Dear

sorry to say you are not eligible for the exam. according to term and condition the age relaxation for the obc category is 4 years but your age 38 year. you also complete the age so you can not apply for the exam.

Hi Aspirant

And you will get the benefit of it and you will get the benefit of the obc category

As well as the ex-serviceman .You will get both benefits

And for the upsc civil services exam here is full Details :

-The candidate should be pass in Graduation from a recognized Indian university

-The candidate of final year of graduation are also eligible

-And the age limit is 21-30

-For the obc it is 21-33

-For the sc,st it is 21-35

-For the ph category it is 21-40

And as you are both a obc as well as ex-serviceman so

You will get age relaxation of 5 years as ex-serviceman and 3 years of obc candidate

Best of luck

to apply for the civil services examination the age limit is 21-30 years for the general category.

for the OBC category there is an age relaxation of 3 years.
and for the ex servicemen the age relaxation is 5 years more.

in your case
you will be an ex servicemen after your retirement and you are an OBC aspirant as well.

so you will get the age relaxation from both these factors .

on account of your category your age relaxation is 3 years.
and the age relaxation for being an ex servicemen is of 5 years more .

so you will get an age relaxation of 8 years for the upsc civil services examination.
but the number of attempts for you are same as that of an OBC candidate i.e 7 attempts
