Hello Aspirant

To fulfill the eligibility criteria for UPSC ,you  need to  be at least  21  years  old on 1st August of your year of appearing for UPSC examination. Since you have not mentioned your proper date of birth it would be difficult to provide accurate details, but anyway you can't appear for the Exam because you will be less than 21 years in age in the year 2023, irrespective of your Date of Birth.

So, No you can't appear for the exam in 2023, you can appear in 2024 though if you satisfy the following eligibility criteria:

• You  must  have  a  bachelor's  degree in any discipline   from a  recognized university.
• You  need to  be at least  21  years  old   to be  eligible as on 1st of August of the year in which you are appearing for the exam.
