How it's calculated
The UKPSC PCS 2026 notice prints the exact range of dates of birth allowed as on 1 July 2026. The calculator checks your date of birth against that range. A relaxation only moves the earliest allowed date of birth back; the minimum age does not change.
Estimate only. Official results, marks and eligibility are decided by the Uttarakhand Public Service Commission. Verify on the official website.
Worked example: born 2 July 1983
For 21–42 years, dates of birth from 2 July 1984 to 1 July 2005 are allowed. Born 2 July 1983, a candidate is 42 years 11 months old on 1 July 2026, so without relaxation they are over the limit.
With the Uttarakhand SC / ST / OBC relaxation (5 years), the earliest allowed date of birth becomes 2 July 1979, so the same candidate is eligible.
