Check your age as on the exam cut-off date for eligibility.
SSC exams calculate your age "as on" a specific cut-off date, not your birthday. Enter your Date of Birth and the exam's official cut-off date to instantly see your exact age in years, months and days for eligibility checking.
This is a general age calculation for reference only — always confirm exact SSC age-limit eligibility (including any relaxation for reserved categories) from the official notification.
Please enter both dates, with Date of Birth before the Cut-off Date.
Select your Date of Birth and the exam's Cut-off / Exam Date (this is published in the official notification, usually as "age as on 01-08-2025" or similar). Click Calculate Age to instantly see your exact age in years, months and days as on that date.
SSC does not use your age on the day you apply or take the exam — eligibility is always based on your age as on a fixed cut-off date mentioned in the notification. This is why two candidates born a few months apart can have different eligibility for the same exam cycle.
Age limits vary by exam and post — for example, SSC CHSL is generally 18–27 years, SSC CGL varies by post (18–27, 18–30, or 20–30), SSC MTS is 18–25 years, and SSC CPO is generally 20–25 years. Reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-servicemen) get age relaxation as per government rules — always verify limits from the official notification for your target exam.
Because SSC eligibility uses your age as on the official cut-off date, not today's date or your exam date.
No, it calculates your exact age only — you should add any applicable age relaxation separately as per your category and the official notification.
Check the dedicated exam page for your target post — for example SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, SSC MTS or SSC GD — each lists the exact age bracket and category-wise relaxation table.
The relaxation years (3 for OBC, 5 for SC/ST, and more for PwBD/Ex-servicemen combinations) are fairly standard across most SSC exams, but always confirm the exact figures from your target exam's official notification.
