Hello, I hope you are doing well

The age criteria depends upon the post for which you want to apply. There is a slight relaxation for OBC Candidates in the upper age limit, An OBC Candidate can give the exam till 3 years after the upper age limit.

It means an OBC Candidate can give the exam till 33 years of age. But, since you are already 33 years and 11 months old, you are not eligible to give the exam.

The upper age limit relaxation for SC and ST candidate is 5 years and 10 years for PWD Candidate.

Hope this helps.
