    Hello Friend,

    The maximum age limit is 30 yrs. A candidate must not already reach 30 yrs of age on 1 Aug of the year of exam. So, if you were born before 1 Aug' 1983, you aren't eligible to appear in CSE 2013.

    Thanks,
    goyalk

    * Age limit is a very important factor or criteria in UPSC exams..!

    * Open category generally has no relaxations of age like BC , SC and ST...!

    * Your age limit to appear for UPSC civil services exam is 21 to 30 years of age�.!

    * Therefore the maximum age limit for you to appear is nothing but thirty (30) years of age�!

    * If you cross 30 years of age , then you will not be able to appear for civil services exam..!

    * Incase if you are an open category physically challenged candidate like deaf, dumb, handicapped ,etc.. then you have an upper age limit relaxation of upto 10 years�!

    * For physically handicapped candidates, the age limit is 21 to 40 years..!

    Criteria/caste OC BC SC ST
    Age 21-30 21-33 21-35 21-35
    For physically challenged people it is 21 to 40 years of age

    * Apart from age restrictions, you can also make only 4 attempts as the maximum in open category�!

    * You must be a graduate and a citizen of India too to appear in UPSC�!

    * You can apply for the exam online at www.upsconline.nic.in

    ================================================

    Hi,


    According to the eligibility criteria,the candidate must be in the age group of 21-30 years.
    But for the Open category,the upper age limit has been given a relaxation of 5 years.
    Hence for you the upper age limit is 35 years.

    Best of Luck for the future!
