Since you are worried only about the age criteria lets limit ou discussion to that itself.

AGE CRITERIA-
Lower Limit- 21 years as on 1st August of the year in which exam is to be held.
Upper limit- 32 for the general candidates
35 for the OBC's
37 for SC's and ST's
42 for physically handicapped

Now you age will be 31 years complete in august 2016 so are eligible for the CIVIL services exam. but that will be your last chance to appear for the exam because by the next year you will exceed the age limit of 32 years by one month.

Below is the complete eligibility criteria required for the candidates to apply for this exam.
