Hello Arun,

According to the tag you have mentioned with the question, you want to ask for eligibility of UPSC Civil Services Exam. So Arun, unfortunately you are now not eligible to appear for UPSC Civil Services Exam because as per the latest eligibility criteria for UPSC Civil Services Exam, the candidates having their age of 21 to 32 Years on August 1st of the examination year, are only eligible to appear in UPSC Civil Services Exam and as you have mentioned that you are 38 years old so you are not eligible for UPSC Civil Services Exam. But yes if you have any kind of disability like blindness and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing, locomotor disability including acid attack, cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, victims and muscular dystrophy, intellectual disability, autism, specific learning disability and mental illness then you will be given age relaxation of 10 years so in this case if you belongs to General category you can appear for UPSC Civil Services Exam till 42 years of age.
