as per upsc norms
the person under general category can appear for upsc exams from 21 to 30 years old. IE... the candidate should not complete 30 years as on august 1st of that year you are going to appear for the preliminary exam. As per your date of birth you born in june month 1983,so as on 2013 august 1st you completed 30 years, which will not satisfy the needs of upsc norms.in case of 2012 you could be 29 years old as on june and could not completed 30 years.

so you have only one chance to write the exam in general category ie in the year of 2012 you can appear for the 1st stage of exam.

good luck
