Re: Age limit for IAS and IPS exam for OBC category students? Am I eligible for it at the age of 31?

Hi
For giving the IAS exam, the age limit for the general category is 21-30 years.
For obc, it is 21-33 years of age and for sc,st it is 21-35 years.
And the number of attempts for the general category are 4, for obc, its 7 and there is no limit for the sc st students.
Now, as your age is 31, and you belong to the obc category, then you're eligible for giving the IAS exam, but only on this condition that your total number of attempts so far is less than 7.
For more details, you can go to

Re: Age limit for IAS and IPS exam for OBC category students? Am I eligible for it at the age of 31?

Respected sir,
IAS entrance examination is one of the toughest examination which is conducted to recruit the top brains of India.
For the reason to administer the system.

IAS entrance exam has no bar of branch stream and field it only requires Mental maturity of the applicants.

The Age criteria that need to be fulfilled by the aspirants of IAS/IPS all are as follows.

One more thing before that as I didn't said IAS/IPS all are the services to get recruited in these services all the aspirants of IAS and also IPS aspirants. and many more aspirants have to apply for a common entrance exam.
that common entrance exam is nothing but Civil service entrance exam.

This Civil services examination is conducted by UPSC once in a year.

Now about age criteria are as follows.

you should minimum have 21 years of age
and there is certain relaxation for reserved categories.

i.e., for OBC Category the maximum age being 30 years are relaxed upto 33 years

for Sc/ST candidates the maximum age is relaxed upto 35 years.

So you will get relaxation upto 33 years
the age limit criteria is different for the different categories .
1) for the general category candidate having age between 21 to 30 years can appear in the ias or ips exam.
2) while there is relaxation of the 3 years than upper age limit for the obc category candidates.
3) and there relaxation of 5 years for the sc/st category candidates.

All the best for your preparation

Exam for IAS and IPS is conducted by UPSC, in fact there is a same exam for both the posts.

The candidates appearing for the IAS exam must be of age group 21-30 years and a maximum of 4 attempts is provided to a general category candidate.

OBC candidates have 3 years of age relaxation and a maximum of 7 attempts are provided.

So, even if you are 31 years and you are an OBC candidate, you are eligible for the exam provided you still have your attempts remaining.

Hi

IAS entrance examination is one of the toughest examination which is conducted to recruit the top brains of India.
For the reason to administer the system.

IAS entrance exam has no bar of branch stream and field it only requires Mental maturity of the applicants.

The Age criteria that need to be fulfilled by the aspirants of IAS/IPS all are as follows.

One more thing before that as I didn't said IAS/IPS all are the services to get recruited in these services all the aspirants of IAS and also IPS aspirants. and many more aspirants have to apply for a common entrance exam.
that common entrance exam is nothing but Civil service entrance exam.

This Civil services examination is conducted by UPSC once in a year.

Now about age criteria are as follows.

you should minimum have 21 years of age
and there is certain relaxation for reserved categories.

i.e., for OBC Category the maximum age being 30 years are relaxed upto 33 years

for Sc/ST candidates the maximum age is relaxed upto 35 years.

So you will get relaxation upto 33 years

All the best for your preparation

Regards
