How Government Exams Calculate Age (The Method)
- Every notification has a cutoff date — usually 1 August or 1 January of the recruitment year (e.g. SSC uses 1 August for GD).
- Your age on that exact date counts — not your age on the application date or the exam date.
- The 10th certificate DOB is the proof — no other document overrides it.
- Relaxation applies to the upper limit — OBC +3, SC/ST +5, PwD +10 years (exam-specific rules vary).
- Example: SSC GD 2027 (cutoff 1 August 2027): a candidate born on 15 June 2004 is 23 years and 1.5 months old on the cutoff — eligible in the General category (23 not exceeded).
