    Re: What is the minimum required age for UPSC exam - 2013?

    UPSC stands for Union Public Service Commission.
    It is the autonomus body formed under the article 315 0f the Indian Constitution
    to make recruitments to administrative and Civil Services at the Union and State level
    through conduct of competitive exams at the All India Level.

    UPSC conducts various exams at the Undergraduates level viz. NDA and SCRA Exams
    and at the graduate level it conducts exams like Civil Services Exam,CDS,Engineering Services exam,
    Central Police Forces,CMS,IES,etc.

    Age Limit is set for various UPSC exams and may differ from exam to exam.
    Relaxation of age limit is provided to candidates of the reserved category like
    OBC by +3yrs 0f upper age limit,SC/ST by +5yrs,PH by +10yrs,etc.

    Age Limit For some of the Exams conducted by UPSC :

    Undergraduate Level Exam :
    NDA Exam-16.5-19yrs
    SCRA Exam-17-21yrs

    Graduate Level Exam :
    CDS-19-25yrs
    CPF-20-25yrs
    IES-21-30yr
    IFS-21-30yrs

    I think you are interested to know the minimum age required to appear in the UPSC Civil Services Exam(CSE)-2013.
    UPSC CSE is conducted every year to make recruitments to 24 services/posts.

    Age Limit For CSE 2013 :
    General category-21-30yrs on 1st August 2013.
    OBC-21-33yrs
    SC/ST-21-35yrs

    So minimum age for CSE 2013 is atleast 21yrs on 1st August 2013.

    Visit www.upsc.gov.in for more details.
    Kindly go through the exam notification to get exact details of age limit.
