Applied Statutory Concession Breakdown:
OBC:+3 Years
Upper Age Ceiling Relaxed to 35 YearsYour permissible application window is between 21 and 35 years as on the statutory cutoff benchmark date defined in the exam notice (e.g. 1st August). Non-cumulative rules competed for the highest single concession, with cumulative relaxations (such as PwD) added on top.
Effective Maximum Age35 Years+3 years over base ceiling (32y)
Statutory Age Window21 – 35 YrsMinimum age (21y) remains unchanged
Total Relaxation Granted+3 YrsAcross 1 qualifying rules

Check the exam's exact cutoff date (often 1st January or 1st August). Your age on that benchmark date determines eligibility, not your age when submitting the form.

How Statutory Age Relaxation Works

Understand the crucial legal distinction between competing non-cumulative exemptions and additive cumulative concessions, and why minimum entry ages remain immovable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Non-cumulative relaxations compete — only the highest one is applied. Cumulative relaxations add on top of whatever non-cumulative relaxation was granted. For example, if you're SC (+5, non-cumulative) and PwD (+10, cumulative), you get 5 + 10 = 15 years total. If you're OBC (+3, non-cumulative) and SC (+5, non-cumulative), only SC's 5 applies — they don't add.
