Use this free Age Calculator for Govt Exams to find your exact age in years, months and days on any date – especially the cut-off date mentioned in a government job notification. Most recruitments (SSC, Railway, Banking, State PSC) calculate the age limit as on a fixed date, not on the day you apply.
How to Use the Age Calculator
- Enter your date of birth exactly as written on your 10th certificate.
- Enter the cut-off date given in the notification (for example “age as on 1 August 2026”), or select an exam from the list.
- Click Calculate Age to see your age in years, months and days.
Why the Cut-off Date Matters
If a notification says the age limit is 18–27 years as on 1 August 2026, your age is checked on that date only. A candidate who turns 28 on 2 August 2026 is still eligible, while one who turned 28 on 31 July 2026 is not (unless age relaxation applies).
Common Age Relaxation in Central Govt Jobs
- SC / ST: 5 years
- OBC (Non-Creamy Layer): 3 years
- PwBD: 10 years (General), 13 years (OBC), 15 years (SC/ST)
- Ex-Servicemen: as per government rules
Relaxation rules can differ for state government jobs – always check the official notification.
