Your Eligibility basically depends on your caste category. So if you belong to General or Unreserved category, then I am sorry to say that you are not eligible to attend IES Examination. But if you belong to SC/ ST/ OBC/ PH/ Ex-Servicemen category then you are eligible to appear in IES Examination.

<<>> If you belong to General/ Unreserved Category - You are NOT eligible

<<>> If you belong to SC/ ST/ OBC/ PH/ Ex-Servicemen category - You are Eligible

Minimum Age required to appear in IES Exam - 21 years (As on 1st January of the year of exam)

Maximum Age allowed to appear in IES Exam - 30 years (As on 1st January of the year of Exam)

As you will be 30 years and 3 months old, so you will not be eligible for IES Exam.

According to Eligibility Criteria of IES Exam, age limit is:
  • For General Candidates: 21 to 30 years
  • For OBC Candidates: 21 to 33 years
  • For SC/ST Candidates: 21 to 35 years
