Frequently asked questions
What does "age as on 1 August" mean?
Your age is worked out on that cut-off date, not on the day you apply. Someone born on 2 August 2000 is 25 years, 11 months and 30 days old on 1 August 2026 and turns 26 only the next day.
If the limit is 18–27, can I apply at 27?
Not if you've already turned 27 on the cut-off date. The notices print it as a date-of-birth window: for SSC CHSL 2026 (18–27 as on 1 August 2026) you must be born between 2 August 1999 and 1 August 2008. The calculator uses exactly this rule.
How much age relaxation do OBC, SC/ST and PwBD candidates get?
In these exams, usually 3 years for OBC (non-creamy layer), 5 for SC/ST, and 10 for PwBD (13 for PwBD who are OBC, 15 for PwBD who are SC/ST). EWS candidates get no age relaxation. Ex-servicemen, widows and departmental candidates have special rules that differ by exam.
Are the exam dates and limits up to date?
They come from each body's latest notice, checked on 12 November 2026, and each exam links to its notice. New notices can change them, so always confirm in the official notice before applying.
Is this an official eligibility check?
No. It applies the published rules, but only the recruiting body decides eligibility, based on your certificates.
