Age Calculator — age as on a cut-off date
Government notifications fix age “as on” a specific date. Enter your date of birth and that date to see your exact age and whether you’re within the limit.
Use the cut-off date from the notification
Typical central government relaxation. Some exams use different rules or give an exact “born not before” date — follow your notification.
Quick answer: To check age eligibility: enter your date of birth, set “Age as on” to the cut-off date in the notification, and enter the minimum and maximum age. Pick your category to add relaxation (OBC +3, SC/ST +5 years in most central exams).
How to use the Age Calculator (Exam Eligibility)
- Enter your date of birth.
- Set the cut-off date from the notification.
- Enter the age limits and your category.
- Read your exact age and eligibility.
Frequently asked questions
What does “age as on 01-01-2026” mean?
Your age is calculated on that exact date, not today. Someone 26 years 11 months old on that date is still 26.
How much age relaxation do OBC and SC/ST get?
For most central government jobs: OBC 3 years, SC/ST 5 years, PwBD 10 years (plus 3 or 5 for OBC/SC/ST PwBD). Some states and exams differ — the notification decides.
Does the upper limit include the last day?
Notifications often give exact “born not before / not after” dates — use those when given. This calculator shows the earliest birth date that is within the upper limit.
