HELLO,

If you are an ex serviceman and you want to apply for the Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level exam then you get some extra years added to the age limit based on your category

• if you belong to the general category you get three years of relaxation after subtracting the number of years you served in the military from your current age

• if you are from the other backward classes category you get six years

• if you are from the scheduled castes or scheduled tribes category you get eight years

now which jobs can ex servicemen apply for

you can apply for most jobs in group C and some jobs in group B but not all group B jobs allow ex servicemen to apply so it is important to check the job notification each year when the Staff Selection Commission releases it

To be considered an ex serviceman you should have

• served in the Indian Army Indian Navy or Indian Air Force

• been officially discharged or retired either because you chose to or because the military released you

• possibly received a pension or completed your full term of service

• if you are not a graduate then you must have served for at least fifteen years in the armed forces to apply

In simple words the Staff Selection Commission allows ex servicemen to apply for many government jobs with some age benefits but your service record and education level must meet their conditions

Hope it helps!
