What does "age as on" mean in a recruitment notice?
It is the date your age is measured against, and it is often months before the exam. A notice saying "not more than 38 years as on 01-01-2026" means your age on 1 January 2026 is what counts, however old you are when you apply. Set that date as the cut-off here.
How do I check if I am eligible for a government job by age?
Enter your date of birth and the notice's cut-off date to get your exact age, then type the upper age limit the notice states into "Upper age limit" and any relaxation for your category into the next box. The tool then says whether you are within the limit and by how much time — or how far over. It is a guide; the notice is the authority on the exact numbers.
Am I eligible if I am just over the limit?
Possibly. Most Indian government notices relax the upper age for reserved categories — commonly three years for OBC and five for SC and ST, with further relaxation for PwD and ex-servicemen. Enter your relaxation in the box and the tool re-checks against the higher limit. The exact years are in the notice, and the notice is the authority.
How is the age calculated?
In whole calendar days, the way an official age check does it: months are borrowed from the actual calendar rather than assumed to be 30 days, and leap years are handled properly. A 29 February birth date counts its birthday on 1 March in a common year. The dates are handled as plain calendar dates, so the result does not shift by a day depending on your phone's timezone.
Which date of birth should I use?
The one on your matriculation certificate. That is the document boards accept as proof, and a mismatch with your application is a common reason for rejection.
Is anything I type saved or uploaded?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser, nothing is sent to a server, and nothing is stored — the numbers are gone when you close the page.
