Key facts
- Each exam sets its own age rule, usually as a date-of-birth window in the official notice.
- Category relaxations widen the upper limit (e.g. UPSC: OBC +3, SC/ST +5, PwBD +10 years).
- JEE Main, CUET-UG and CLAT UG have no age limit — eligibility depends on Class 12 or the university.
- NEET-UG needs you to be 17 by 31 December of the exam year, with no upper limit.
- "Projected" rows roll this year's rule forward. Confirm against next year's notice when it's out.
Worked example
Born 15 Jun 2007, General, UPSC CSE 2026:
Window 2 Aug 1994 – 1 Aug 2005 → too young
Same person for NEET-UG 2026: turned 17 well before 31 Dec 2026 → eligible.
FAQs
Which date of birth counts?
The one on your Class 10 (matriculation) certificate. Most exams don't accept later changes.
Do relaxations combine?
Sometimes (for example PwBD plus OBC in UPSC). This tool applies one category; read the notice for combined cases.
Age-eligible means I can apply?
Not always. Check the other conditions listed for each exam — Class 12 year, attempts, nationality.
