Does Gap year or drop year of jee neet aspirant affect in civil services exam or any government exam in Future ?

Hi,

I don't think it will affect you while giving any government exam. For any government exam there will be a eligibility criteria and certain age limit.

For civil services exam the eligibility age is 21 years and should have a degree from any recognized University.

• The age limit is 32 years for general Category and EWS Category i.e., till the age of 32 years you can give this exam.
• For OBC Category it is 35 years.
• For SC/ST, it is 37 years.

In the same way, other government exams also will have certain age limits.

Hope it helps!
