📝 UPSC Civil Services Examination is one of India’s most prestigious and challenging competitive exams, with over a million aspirants every year vying for a few hundred top government positions (such as in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) or Indian Police Service (IPS)).
🤔 UPSC aspirants are often perplexed by the question, “How Many Attempts for UPSC?” and whether they can appear for the UPSC Civil Services Exam after a particular age limit is reached.
📚 To ensure fair competition, the IAS Exam has strict limits on the number of attempts and the age of eligibility for different categories (as per the latest UPSC guidelines).
🧾 The total attempt limit for UPSC is as follows –
🔹 General Category: Up to 6 attempts (upper age limit 32 years).
🔹 Other Backward Classes (OBC): Up to 9 attempts (age limit 35 years).
🔹 Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST): Unlimited attempts (age limit 37 years).
🔹 Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD): Up to 42 years. Therefore, a 40-year-old candidate can appear for the exam if they belong to the PwBD category.
🔹 EWS Category: 6 attempts until the age of 32 years.
