Exam Age Calculator
Your exact age on the cut-off date, and whether you meet the limit — with category relaxations.
Exam eligibility is judged by your age as on the notification cut-off date, not the day you apply. Enter your date of birth, the cut-off, your target post and category, and this calculator returns your exact age and whether you meet the limit once relaxations (OBC, SC/ST, PwBD) apply.
Exam Eligibility
Age as on cut-off date
Are you eligible? Age as on the cut-off date
Indian government and bank recruitment exams set the age limit as your age “as on” a fixed cut-off date — usually 1 January or 1 August of the recruitment year — not the day you apply. This calculator works out your exact age on that date and tells you whether you fall inside the allowed range for your post once category relaxations are applied.
Pick your date of birth, set the cut-off with the quick presets or a custom date, choose the post you’re targeting and your reservation category. You’ll get your precise age in years, months and days, the effective age band after relaxation, and a clear eligible / not-eligible verdict.
How the limits work
Most posts have both a minimum and a maximum age. You must have reached the minimum age and not crossed the maximum (base limit plus any relaxation) on the cut-off date, measured exactly to the day. Being even one month over the maximum makes you ineligible, which is why an exact calculation matters. If your target exam isn’t listed, choose “custom limits” and enter the minimum and maximum yourself.

For age on any date without the exam framing, use the chronological age calculator. To find your everyday age, the main age calculator gives years, months, days, hours and seconds. To work backwards from an age to a birth year, try the reverse age calculator.
Disclaimer: This is an estimate to help you check eligibility quickly. Always confirm your final eligibility against the official recruitment notification before paying any application fee.
