UPSC stands for the Union Public Service Commission. UPSC has been conducting various civil service examinations of Class-I & Class-II for many years. It has been rated as 'A' level examination in India.

You have not mentioned about any particular exam for which you want to know the upper age limit. UPSC conducts many exam in a year such as IAS (Indian Administrative Service), IPS (Indian Police Service), NDA (National Defence Academy), IES (Indian Engineering Service) and IFS (Indian Forest Service).

Generally candidates who have done their bachelor degree in any discipline are eligible for IAS & IPS exam. For IES they should have done their bachelor in Engineering.

For NDA, candidates should have completed at least their 10+2 with PCM subjects.

Now talking about the age criteria, age of candidates should be between 21 to 30 years except NDA. For NDA examination age of candidates should be between 16.5 to 19 years.

Age Relaxation (except NDA):

• For OBC ~ 3 years
