Sir, Right now I am 33 years age and general candidate. As per the recent news in gr-A age group would be 36 from 2008 in WBCS. I am a Ph.D. holder. I wanted to know if there is any provision of age relaxation for Ph.D general candidates. Thank you

As per notification of Jan the age limit of WBCS increased up to 36 for A 39 for B and 40 for C& D. So what's wrong happened in advertisements recently published. Government should correct this mistake for so many hopeless aspirants.
