Sir, I am a graduate and a physically disabled candidate of general category. Tell me how much relaxation do I will get in IAS exam. I am orthopedically handicapped.

Relaxation for orthopaedically handicapped candidate in IAS exam:

> Relaxations are given to handicapped candidate in terms of age, qualification and cutoffs.

> Handicapped candidate with the general category is eligible for 7 attempts.

> Handicapped candidate with a general category is relaxed up to maximum age of 10 years.

The minimum age requirement to appear for IAS exam is 21 years as on 1st August of that year when the exam is going to held.
The upper age relaxation for OBC candidate is 35 years and for the Blind, Deaf-mute, Orthopedically handicapped person is 42 years.
In this exam there are certain restriction on the number of attempts also the General candidate can attempt only 6 times till 32 years of age, the OBC candidate can attempt 9 times till 35 years of age and Physically handicapped can attempt 9 times till 42 years. Your attempt only counts if you appear the preliminary exam if you fill the form and don’t appear for exam then it will not count.
