Yes, at 34 years of age, you can attend the Group 4 examination, but your eligibility mainly depends on your category and the state conducting the exam.

For Tamil Nadu Group 4 (TNPSC Group IV) examination, the minimum age required is 18 years. Regarding the upper age limit, there is no maximum age limit for candidates belonging to reserved categories such as SC, SC(A), ST, BC, BCM, MBC/DNC, and Destitute Widows of all castes. This means that if you belong to any of these categories, you are fully eligible to apply even at 34 years of age.

However, for candidates belonging to the General (Unreserved) category, the upper age limit is usually 30 years for most Group 4 posts. In such a case, a 34-year-old General category candidate would not be eligible unless there is a specific age relaxation notified in that year’s official notification.

It is also important to note that age eligibility is calculated as per the cut-off date mentioned in the official Group 4 notification, so you should always check that detail carefully. Educational qualification requirements and other eligibility conditions must also be fulfilled to apply successfully.

In short, if you belong to a reserved category, you can safely apply for the Group 4 exam at 34 years of age. If you are from the General category, you may not be eligible due to the upper age limit restriction. Always refer to the latest official notification before applying to avoid any issues.

All the best for your preparation and future attempts.
