Questions people ask

What is the SSC CHSL age limit for 2026?

Generally 18–27 years as on 01-08-2026 for most CHSL posts, with +3 years relaxation for OBC and +5 years for SC/ST — the same band SSC uses for CGL. Some CHSL posts have historically differed slightly, so always check the post-wise limit in the official notification.

Is the SSC CHSL age limit the same as SSC CGL?

Mostly yes — both commonly use 18–27 as on 1 August of the exam year with the standard OBC/SC/ST relaxation — but CHSL recruits for different posts (LDC/JSA, DEO, Postal Assistant), and any post-specific variation is stated only in that year's official notification.

How is age calculated for SSC CHSL eligibility?

Your exact age is counted as on the notified cutoff date, not the exam date or your application date — this tool sets that cutoff for you automatically so there is no manual date math.

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

The commonly notified relaxation is 3 years for OBC and 5 years for SC/ST. PwD and ex-servicemen categories get further relaxation not shown in this table — check the official notification for your specific category.

What happens if I am over-age for CHSL?

The eligibility table marks the category with a cross and shows the margin you exceed the limit by. This is an estimate to help you plan — SSC's own scrutiny at the application stage is the final word.
