How we worked this out
- State PSC limits differ from state to state, so we don't guess yours.
- Put the upper age limit for your category in the box above, and we'll count your sittings.
- Age is counted on a cut-off date in each notice, so this can be off by one. Check the official notice for your year.
- How much it matters to you: 7 out of 10. It only changes the order on your statement.

How it works
Every state public service commission sets its own age limit. For General candidates in Uttar Pradesh, it's 40.
Extra years by category are set by each state too, and are often only for people from that state.
Put in the limit for your category from your state's notice, and we count your sittings at one a year.
