What is the CGPSC Age Limit?
The Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC) conducts the highly sought-after State Service Exam (SSE) to recruit Group A and Group B officers, including Deputy Collectors and DSPs.
Unlike most states that have a uniform base age limit, Chhattisgarh offers a massive strategic advantage to its native residents. For candidates belonging to other states, the maximum age limit is strictly capped at 30 years. However, for a domicile resident of Chhattisgarh belonging to the Unreserved (General) category, the upper age limit is extended significantly to 40 years.
Category-wise Relaxations (For CG Domiciles Only)
The Government of Chhattisgarh provides additional age relaxations on top of the 40-year base limit for its native residents belonging to reserved categories and women.
| Category | Total Age Limit |
|---|---|
| Out of State Candidates (All Categories) | 30 Years |
| Chhattisgarh Domicile (Unreserved / General) | 40 Years |
| Chhattisgarh Domicile (OBC / SC / ST) | 45 Years |
| Chhattisgarh Domicile (Female - All Categories) | 45 Years |
Absolute Cap: As per CGPSC rules, regardless of how many relaxations a candidate qualifies for (e.g., an SC Female candidate), the absolute maximum age limit cannot exceed 45 years under any circumstance.
The "Crucial Date" for CGPSC
CGPSC generally reckons age limits as of 1st January of the examination year. Therefore, if you are targeting the 2026 exam cycle, your age will be computed exactly on January 1, 2026.
