Age Calculator for Government Exams
Every notification fixes a cut-off date (for example 1 January or 1 August) and a minimum and maximum age. Enter your date of birth and the notification's details to see your exact age and whether you qualify after category relaxation.
Relaxations shown are the standard central-government rules. Ex-servicemen, departmental candidates, widows and some states have different relaxations — check your notification.
How the cut-off date works
Your age is counted on a fixed date written in the notification — not on the day you apply. If an exam says 18–27 years as on 1 August, a candidate born on 2 August 1999 is 26 on that date and eligible, while someone born on 1 August 1998 has already turned 28 and is not. The calculator also gives the exact range of birth dates that qualify, which is how most notifications phrase it ("born not before … and not later than …").
Standard age relaxation
Under central-government rules the upper age limit is relaxed by 3 years for OBC (non-creamy layer), 5 years for SC/ST, and 10 years for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (13 for PwBD-OBC, 15 for PwBD-SC/ST). EWS candidates get no age relaxation in central recruitment. Ex-servicemen usually get their military service plus 3 years, and departmental or state-specific rules vary.
