Frequently asked questions
On which date is age calculated for government exams?
Age is reckoned on a fixed "cutoff date" set in the notification — commonly 1 August of the exam year for SSC and UPSC, and 1 January for Railway (RRB) exams. Pick the matching cutoff above; the calculator gives your exact age on that date.
How much age relaxation do OBC, SC and ST candidates get?
For most central-government exams: OBC (non-creamy-layer) +3 years, SC/ST +5 years, and PwBD +10 (Gen/EWS) / +13 (OBC) / +15 (SC/ST) years, over the upper age limit. Ex-servicemen and other categories have their own rules — confirm on the official notification.
How do I check if I am eligible by age?
Enter your date of birth, choose the cutoff, pick your category, then enter the minimum and maximum age from your exam notification. The tool applies the relaxation and tells you whether you are within the limit and the earliest/latest date of birth allowed.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser — your date of birth is never uploaded or stored.
