Hello Aspirant,

Yes, as a 33 years and 9 months old OBC candidate, you can apply for most of the posts in SSC CGL with the benefit of age relaxation by three years provided to OBC candidates. So, in an effective sense, your upper age limit would be 33 years for posts with upper age limit 30 years and 36 years for posts in which the upper limit is 33 years. You are eligible for Assistant Audit Officer and Inspector of Income Tax posts. Just make sure you meet the educational qualification for AAO, which may include a desirable qualification in CA/MBA/Cost Accounting, etc.

HEY THERE!!!

• At 33 years and 11 months old, as an OBC candidate, your eligibility for most SSC CGL positions—particularly prominent Group B roles like Assistant Audit Officer or Inspector of Income Tax—is unfortunately limited.
• The standard upper age limit for these posts stands at 30 years, with a 3-year relaxation for OBC candidates, capping eligibility at 33 years. Given your age, you exceed this threshold by nearly a year.
• Nevertheless, certain Group C roles under SSC CGL do permit a higher age limit: typically up to 32 years plus the OBC relaxation, totaling 35 years.
• For these posts, you may still qualify. It is advisable to consult the official SSC CGL notification for comprehensive, post-specific age requirements before proceeding with your application.
