Hello,

Military criteria for appearing in UPSC civil services examination is that the candidate should have completed graduation and must be 21 years of age.
You are asking about Age relaxation, let me describe it. In UPSC there are six attempt for general candidates and the maximum age to attend the examination is 32.
For OBC category candidates the maximum attempt is 9 and maximum age to attend exam is 35.
For SC/ST category candidates 5 years relaxation is provided which makes age 37 as their age limit for appearing in the exam and the attempts are unlimited till maximum age limit.

I hope this helps.

Hello Aspirant,


Since you're just 19, you mustn't have completed your graduation.

To be eligible to give the prestigious UPSC exams, the candidate must be a graduate with age in range of 21 - 32 years and must be a citizen of India.
