Sir/Mam,

Is there any age relaxation available for scheduled caste candidates for getting a government job? Can you please let me know the minimum criteria which is followed for getting the job? It will be really easy for me if you can provide me the instructions.

Thanks!

Dear Aspirant,
Yes, There is a provision in the constitution of India that criteria for those candidates who belong to some reserved catagory have given some relaxation.
Seat reserved>>
Here out of total, 49.5% seats are reserved for reserved catagory (OBC = 27% , SC = 15% & ST = 7.5%)
Age relaxation>>
to get any government jobs age can be extended upto 3 years for OBC & 5 years for SC & ST aspirants.
good luck.

To getting a govt. sector the criteria is same for all the casts, but in case of age and percentage different casts get different age relaxation and different percentage criteria.
The BC cast candidate get 3 years age relaxation in govt. sector jobs.
The SC/ST cast candidates get 5 years age relaxation in govt. sector jobs.
For SC/ST cast candidate the minimum percentage required to compete for a govt. sector exam is 45% (in case of Gen 50% minimum requirement).

But if you go for the defense sector than there is not any provisional regarding age relaxation. The age criteria for the all casts are same.
