and the maximum age is depending upon their category if their category is general then the maximum age limit is 30 years of age ,If the category is of OBC they will get 3 years relaxation and their max age limit is 33 years of age.

if they belong to sc/st category then their age limit is relaxed upto 5 years i.e., the maximum age limit is 35 years of age.
