Understanding age limits is essential before filling out any online recruitment form in India. Every commission (such as UPSC, SSC, IBPS, or State PSCs) specifies a strict cut-off date. If your age is even one day above the upper limit on that specific date, your application will be automatically rejected during scrutiny.
