Any chance of age reduction in civil services from 2017 ?

Hi i dont wanna speculate i dont wanna create chaos im 29 now and this is my third attempt but due to lack of preparation im not confident so i wanna quit my job next year and give my best shot but my friends are saying it would be a bad idea and that government may reduce number of age and attempts is this really possible i wanna take a break from my job im a gen cat so can i assume i will have six attempts till im 32 ?

    Ok


    It seems u r a newbie...let me explain u

    The cut off date for age is 1 august of the year u will appear in exam..if u want to appear in 2019 ..u must not have completed 32 on 1 aug 2019....this can happen only if u r born after 1 Aug 1987 .
  • From next year it will be 1st June as upsc is getting back to the old model of conducting cse exams.
