UPSC stands for Union Public Service Commission. UPSC is going to conduct a wide variety of examinations every year like
-Civil services examination
-SCRA (Special Class Railway Apprentices Examination)
-NDA Exam
-Engineering Services Exam
-CDS Exam
-Geologists Exam
-Combined Medical Services Exam.

The eligibility criteria is different from one exam to other exam.

You did not mention the specific UPSC Exam which you are going to appear. So, I am unable to provide you the required age limit.

But one thing is must that you will not be having any relaxation in upper age limit as like SC/ST candidates for all the UPSC Exams.

You can find the date of various UPSC Exams and the other relevant information in the official website of UPSC. Here it is,

Hello friend,
Since the Union Public Service Commission conducts various exams and you may write those for which you are eligible. Now, a candidate, belonging to general category, is not eligible to write any of the exams conducted by UPSC after the age of 30 years.
This maximum age limit is applicable to exams like:
Civil Service Exam
Engineering Service Exam
Indian Economic Service Exam
Indian Forest Service

So, if you have crossed 30 years, i am afraid that you won't be eligible to write any of the exams conducted by union public service exam.

Age limit criteria differs as per exam .Since upsc conducts so many exams ,it is really very difficult for me to provide you correct answer. But i am trying to provide you best information :
  • For NDA exam it is 16.5 to 19 years
  • For almost all other upsc exam which need a graduation degree , your age should lie between 21 to 30 years
  • For latest updates about upsc exams please visit the official website of upsc that is http://www.upsc.gov.in or read employement news regularly.

Thanks
