Pick your exam, enter your DOB and category — get the exact relaxation math, not just a yes/no guess.
Verify before you decide. Category relaxation rules (SC/ST +5, OBC +3, PwD +10 to +15) are the standard pattern followed across most central exams and rarely change. The minimum/maximum age and reference date for each exam, however, are set fresh in every notification — always confirm those two figures against your specific year's official notification before deciding not to apply.
Government exam age limits have two moving parts that trip people up: the exact age-on-a-specific-date calculation, and category-based relaxation that can stack (a PwD candidate from an SC background doesn't just get +5 or +10 — they get the combined relaxation). This tool automates both calculations and shows the full arithmetic so you can verify it yourself, rather than just showing a pass/fail badge you have to trust blindly.

For exams not in the preset list, select "Other / Manual Entry" and enter the minimum age, maximum age, and reference date exactly as stated in your notification — the relaxation math still applies automatically.
