Har sarkari bharti me age limit hoti hai — 18-27, 18-30, 21-30 jaise — aur har category ko usme relaxation milta hai. SC/ST ko 5 saal, OBC ko 3 saal, PwD ko 10 saal tak — lekin har exam ka rule alag hai, isliye notification ka age calculation dhyan se padhna zaroori hai.
1General age limits (common)
- 10th/12th level — 18-27 saal (SSC MTS, GD, Railway Group D)
- Graduation level — 18-30 saal (SSC CGL, Bank PO), 20-28 (IBPS Clerk, SBI Clerk), 21-30 (RBI Grade B, UPSC)
- Police — 18-25 (constable), 20-25 (SI) — state-wise alag
- Teaching — 18-40 tak (state teacher)
Category-wise relaxation (central norms — state me alag ho sakta hai):
- SC/ST — 5 saal
- OBC NCL — 3 saal
- PwD General — 10 saal, PwD OBC — 13 saal, PwD SC/ST — 15 saal (PwD guide)
- Ex-servicemen — service years + 3 saal (exact formula notification me) (ESM guide)
- Women — kai states me extra 2-5 saal (state-wise) (Women jobs guide)
- Sports quota — kai jagah 5 saal tak (Sports quota guide)
2Age kaise calculate hoti hai
- Cutoff date notification me di hoti hai (jaise 01-08-2026) — us date pe tumhari age count hoti hai
- DOB 10th certificate se li jati hai — exact honi chahiye
- Relaxation us cutoff date pe add hoti hai — matlab agar general 27 hai aur tum OBC ho to 27+3=30 tak eligible
3Common mistakes
- Cutoff date galat samajhna — form bharne ki date nahi, notification me di hui cutoff date
- OBC certificate purana — NCL validity 1 saal, purana hua to general me count hoge (Reservation guide)
- Age proof galat — 10th certificate hi final hai
- Multiple relaxations ka confusion — ek se zyada relaxation (jaise OBC + PwD) ka rule notification me hota hai — usually highest wala milta hai, cumulative nahi (exam ke hisaab se alag)
4Preparation tip
