Questions people ask

What is the SSC CGL age limit for 2026?

Generally 18–27 years as on 01-08-2026 for most posts (some posts allow up to 30 or 32), with +3 years relaxation for OBC and +5 years for SC/ST. Always verify against the official notification, since limits differ by post.

How is age calculated for SSC CGL eligibility?

Your exact age is counted as on the notified cutoff date (01-08-2026 for SSC CGL 2026), not on the exam date or the date you apply — this tool sets that cutoff for you automatically.

What age relaxation applies for OBC, SC and ST candidates?

The commonly notified relaxation is 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST, added to the base upper age limit. PwD and ex-servicemen categories get further relaxation not shown here — check the official notification for your category.

What happens if I am over-age?

The eligibility table marks the category ✗ and shows the margin by which you exceed the limit — for example 'over by 1 yr 3 mo'. This is only an estimate; the final decision rests with SSC.

Is the 01-08-2026 cutoff date confirmed?

It is the cutoff commonly used for the SSC CGL cycle referenced here, but SSC can and does change the exact date between notifications. Confirm it against the official notification before you apply.
