Govt Exam Age Calculator – Age as on Cut-off Date
Find your exact age in years, months and days on the date mentioned in the notification, and check whether you are eligible.
How to use the Exam Age Eligibility Calculator
- Enter your date of birth as per your matriculation (10th) certificate.
- Enter the 'age as on' date from the notification – often 1st January of the year.
- Fill in the minimum age, maximum age and any relaxation you are entitled to.
- Press Check to see your exact age and eligibility.
Why the cut-off date matters
Every recruitment notification fixes a date on which your age is counted, for example "age as on 01.01.2026". Your age on the day you apply does not matter. Being even one day over the upper limit on the cut-off date makes you ineligible, so it is worth checking precisely.
How age relaxation works
Reserved categories such as SC, ST, SEBC, women and persons with disabilities often get extra years on the upper age limit. Ex-servicemen may get relaxation equal to their service. Add the years applicable to you in the relaxation box – they are added to the maximum age.
Documents used for age proof
- HSC / Class 10 certificate (most common).
- Birth certificate where accepted.
Make sure the date of birth on your form exactly matches your certificate.
