Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

As per the date of birth your age right now stands as 27 if I’m not wrong & soon 28 in November.

As the age limit for this exam is 19-25 years, you have unfortunately crossed the age limit of 25 hence you are not eligible for giving this examination.

I hope this helps.
All the very best for your future endeavours
