How to calculate age for a government job application

  1. Enter your date of birth exactly as recorded in your official documents.
  2. Enter the age cut-off date stated in the recruitment notification. Do not automatically use today's date unless the notification says so.
  3. For an eligibility check, optionally enter the minimum and maximum age prescribed for the post.
  4. If an age relaxation applies to you, enter the permitted number of additional years. Check the official notification for the applicable category and conditions.
  5. Select Calculate Age to see your exact age and the indicative age-limit result.
Important: This calculator is a support tool, not an official eligibility decision. Recruitment authorities may apply specific rules for cut-off dates, date-of-birth proof, category relaxations, service conditions and rounding. Always verify your eligibility from the official notification.

Why is the cut-off date important?

Recruitment notifications usually calculate a candidate's age as on a specified date. Your age on the application date or the current date may be different from your age on that cut-off date. Always use the exact date provided by the recruiting authority.
