Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about age eligibility and our calculator.

How accurate is the age calculation?
Our calculator uses the exact cut-off dates specified in official exam notifications. We account for leap years and specific month lengths to provide 100% accurate results down to the day.
Does it support category-wise relaxation?
Yes, we support automatic age relaxation calculations for OBC (3 years), SC/ST (5 years), PwD (10-15 years), and other categories as per government norms.
Is my personal data stored?
No, absolutely not. All calculations happen instantly in your web browser. We do not store or transmit your date of birth or any other personal details to any server.
What exams are covered?
We cover all major central and state government exams including UPSC Civil Services, SSC CGL/CHSL/MTS, IBPS/SBI Bank Exams, Railways (RRB NTPC/Group D), and various State PSCs.
Can I check eligibility for future exams?
Yes! While we use the latest official notification dates by default, you can manually adjust the 'As on Date' to check your eligibility for upcoming or future exam cycles.
What if I don't know the reference date?
Don't worry. Our tool pre-fills the reference date based on the latest notification for the selected exam. You only need to verify it with the official advertisement if needed.
How is 'Age as on' calculated?
It determines your exact age on a specific 'cut-off date' set by the exam authority (e.g., Jan 1st or Aug 1st). If your age is even one day above the limit on that date, you may be ineligible.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, ExamMint Age is completely free for all aspirants. Our mission is to simplify the application process for government job seekers.
