UPSC Age Calculator 2025

UPSC age calculator: quick eligibility check by cutoff date

1) Core idea

Pick your DOB and the UPSC cutoff date (often 1 Aug of the exam year). We compute your exact age on that date and compare it with category limits.

2) Flow you can trust

• Calendar age is computed in years → months → days, respecting real month lengths.
• Eligibility rows reflect common limits: General (21–32), OBC (21–35), SC/ST (21–37), PwBD (21–42).
• Cutoff presets and DOB presets speed up what‑if checks.

3) Sanity checks

• DOB must be before the cutoff date.
• Always verify the current year’s official UPSC notification for final rules.
• Local timezone can shift boundaries at midnight, but calendar math remains consistent.

4) Shortcuts

• Use DOB “Age 21/25/30/35/37/38/40” buttons to snap to common scenarios.
• Use cutoff presets (1 Aug 2026/2027/2028/2030) to test future attempts.

5) Pitfalls

• Hitting the upper age “attained/not attained” boundary depends on the exact cutoff policy.
• Relaxations and attempt counts vary by category and specific UPSC rules.

6) Micro examples

• DOB 02/08/1993 with cutoff 01/08/2025 → 31y 11m 30d (General still within 32).
• DOB 01/08/1993 with cutoff 01/08/2025 → 32y 0m 0d (check “attained upper age” rule).

7) Mini‑FAQ

• Default cutoff? Often 1 Aug of the exam year; confirm in the notification.
• Future years? Yes—change the cutoff date.

8) Action tip

Save your cutoff year and try multiple DOB presets to see how close you are to boundaries under each category.
