Re: Age limits and number of attempts for UPSC?

You did not mention the highest level of academic qualification that you have. In order to be eligible to apply for civil services, you should have completed your Graduation with any of the stream from a recognized university.

Civil Services exam is the common written exam to be placed in all the civil services like
IAS
IPS
IFS
IRS etc.

As per your query, her is the information regarding age criteria

Candidates of General category should be in the age group of 21-30 years.
Relaxation in upper age limit upto 3 years for the candidates of OBC category.
Relaxation in upper age limit upto 5 years for the candidates of SC or ST category.
For the candidates with physical disabilities, the relaxation in upper age limit will be provided upto 10 years.

Number of attempts :
For General category : Maximum of 4 attempts
For OBC category : Maximum of 7 attempts
For SC or ST category : No limit on number of attempts

If you possess this criteria, you can apply for civil services exam.

For updated information on this Exam, I suggest you to visit

Re: Age limits and number of attempts for UPSC?

hi,
UPSC exam stands for union public service commision.
Age limit is 21 to 30 years.
Age relaxation is given by goverment rules.
A maximum of 4 attempts is permitted to every candidate and 7 to those belonging to Other Backward Classes. There is no restriction on the number of attempts in the case of SC/ST candidates. All this, provided you are still under the age limit. A physically handicapped person will get as many attempts as any other non-handicapped candidate of his/her community, but if they are from the general category they will get 7 attempts. It is wiser to be mentally ready for several attempts as cracking the Civil Services Exams is a tough nut to crack the first time around; and if you do qualify you may want to attempt again to improve your ranking and therefore your service allotment.

Re: Age limits and number of attempts for UPSC?

Hi,

I have a doubt here. When filling the prelims application form i mentioned that i belong to OBC category as my father`s income was less than 450,000. But after few days if filling the form (after the last date of filling the form) i came to know that for govenrment employees (my father is a retired govt officer), only their position is considered for determining if you belong to OBC creamy/non creamy layer. My father was recuited as a class II officer and got promoted to Class I before he turned 40. So as per the rule i don`t belong to the non creamy layer. So i wanted to change my application form but UPSC doesnot allow it. My question is if i clear the prelims with marks greater then the general cutoff marks will i be able to change the details in the main application form?

Regards,
samrat

Re: Age limits and number of attempts for UPSC?

To appear within the limit of 4 number of attempts, is somehow fair but unjustified as there are many number of candidates from the poverty and underprivileged sections among the status of General candidates with a full grown talents, and unable to utilized due to weak in the financial and economic streangth. the limit must be considered for extension for 6 times by the UPSC BOARD.

General candidates have got 4 attempts while OBC candidates get 7 and SC/ST there is no limit for no. of attempts.You should be under the age limit of 21 to 30
years.
There is not going to be any change as far as no. of attempts is considered.

Hi,

CSAT has replace the previous prelims pattern of the Civil services exam.
CSAT will consist of general knowledge and aptitude. you don't need to select and prepare and subject this time and you need to choose subjects for Mains only.
A candidate must have attained the age of 21 years and must not have attained the age of 30 years. there are relaxations also.
Every candidate appearing at the Civil Services Examination, who is otherwise eligible, shall be permitted four attempts at the examination.
