UPSC 2027 Date of Birth Criteria
The date-of-birth range is important because UPSC checks a candidate's age on a specific date mentioned in the examination notification.
For example, if the age cutoff date is 1 August 2027, a candidate's age is calculated on that date, not on the date of submitting the application or appearing for the examination.
The calculator uses the selected cutoff date to estimate the following:
- Minimum age requirement
- Maximum age according to category
- Additional age relaxation
- Earliest eligible date of birth
- Latest eligible date of birth
Always compare the calculator result with the date-of-birth conditions in the official notification before applying.
UPSC Age Relaxation Rules
General and EWS Category
The usual maximum age limit for General and EWS candidates is 32 years. No additional age relaxation is normally available under these categories.
OBC Category
Eligible OBC candidates belonging to the Non-Creamy Layer category generally receive three years of age relaxation. This makes the usual maximum age limit 35 years.
Candidates must meet the applicable OBC certificate and other eligibility requirements.
SC and ST Category
SC and ST candidates generally receive five years of age relaxation. Their usual maximum age limit is 37 years.
Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD)
Eligible PwBD candidates may receive age relaxation depending on their category. The usual relaxation is 10 years for General/EWS, 13 years for OBC and 15 years for SC/ST candidates.
The official notification explains the applicable disability categories and documentary requirements.
UPSC Age Limit Is Not the Only Eligibility Condition
Meeting the age requirement does not automatically make a candidate eligible for the Civil Services Examination.
Candidates should also check the following conditions:
- Educational qualification: The candidate must meet the prescribed graduation or equivalent qualification requirements.
- Nationality: Nationality conditions depend on the service applied for.
- Number of attempts: The permitted number of attempts varies by category.
- Category certificate: Candidates claiming reservation or age relaxation must meet the prescribed certificate requirements.
- Other conditions: Service-specific and disability-related eligibility rules may also apply.
The age calculator checks age only. It does not confirm the remaining eligibility conditions or calculate the number of attempts available.
