The Staff Selection Commission Multi-Tasking (Non-Technical) Staff and Havaldar (CBIC & CBN) examination is highly sought after. However, the age eligibility criteria can be confusing because SSC divides the vacancies into two distinct age groups.

By using our age calculator for ssc mts 2026, you can input your Date of Birth, select your reservation category, and instantly see which of the two age groups you are eligible for.

What is the 18-25 and 18-27 age group in SSC MTS?

The SSC Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) exam defines its age limits in two separate brackets, which are mapped to different departments and posts:

• 18-25 Years Age Group: This is the primary age bracket. It covers the vast majority of standard MTS vacancies across various Ministries, Departments, and Offices of the Government of India. If you fall in this bracket, you are eligible for these posts.
• 18-27 Years Age Group: This slightly older bracket is specifically designed for the post of Havaldar in the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) and Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN), as well as a few specific MTS posts in certain designated departments.

If a candidate is 24 years old, they are eligible to be considered for vacancies in both age groups. If a candidate is 26 years old (Unreserved), they are overage for the 18-25 group but are still eligible to compete for the 18-27 group (Havaldar and specific MTS posts).

Category Relaxations in SSC MTS

The Staff Selection Commission provides standard age relaxations for reserved categories. These relaxations apply to the upper limits of both the 18-25 and 18-27 age groups.

• OBC Candidates: Get a 3-year relaxation. (Max age becomes 28 for Group 1; 30 for Group 2).
• SC / ST Candidates: Get a 5-year relaxation. (Max age becomes 30 for Group 1; 32 for Group 2).
• PwBD (Unreserved): Get a 10-year relaxation.
