According to the new norms there has been changes by Government regarding age limit and also in number of attempts for all the categories. So here is the details for your doubt whether you are eligible for CSAT exam in the year 2016 or not.

Age Limit and Number of Attempts

For General category : Aspirants should not be less than 21 years but not more than 32 years. Aspirants can appear for CSAT exam for 6 times but not more than that.

In your question you have mentioned your year that is 1983 so according to the calculation your age in the year 2016 will be 33 years.
