Scroll Right ↔
| Category | Min Age | Max Age Limit (Post-Wise) | Statutory Relaxation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (General) | 18 to 21 Years | 27 to 32 Years
(e.g., Patwari is 27, Asst. Manager is 30) Calculated as of 28 March 2026. |
No Relaxation |
| OBC (Delhi Only) | + 3 Years | ||
| SC & ST Category | + 5 Years | ||

⚠️ The Critical “OBC-Delhi” Restriction:

If you hold an OBC certificate from UP, Haryana, Bihar, etc. (Outside Delhi OBC), you MUST apply under the Unreserved (UR) category. Applying as an OBC with an outside-state certificate leads to immediate rejection during DV.
