How to check your age as on a date
- Enter your date of birth as on your Class 10 certificate. Most recruitment bodies treat that as the official record.
- Enter the “as on” or cut-off date from the notification, for example 1 August of the exam year. Press Today to measure from today instead.
- Read your age in years, months and days.
- To check eligibility, enter the minimum and maximum age, and any relaxation you are entitled to.
How age limits work
“Age 18 to 32 as on 1 August” usually means you must have turned 18 by 1 August, and must not have turned 33 by then. Notifications normally state the result as a date range, such as “born not before 2 August 1993 and not after 1 August 2008”. The tool shows the same kind of range for the limits you type, so you can compare it with the notification.
Relaxation in upper age
Many government recruitments relax the upper age limit for certain categories, such as reserved categories, persons with disabilities and ex-servicemen. The amount varies by recruitment and category, and is listed in the notification. Enter your relaxation in years and it is added to the maximum age.
Other uses
- Age as on 1 April or 1 June for school admission cut-offs.
- Exact age for insurance, pension or retirement calculations.
- Counting the days to a birthday or anniversary.
How the age is counted
Whole years first, then whole months, then the remaining days, the same way a person would count on a calendar. Someone born on 29 February is treated as turning a year older on 28 February in non-leap years.
Questions people ask
Which date of birth should I use?
The one in your Class 10 or matriculation certificate, unless the notification says otherwise.
Does 'age 21 to 30' include people who are exactly 30?
Usually yes: you are eligible until the day before your 31st birthday. Always follow the exact dates in the notification.
Is this calculation official?
No. It helps you check quickly. The notification and the recruiting body decide eligibility.
