Hello Sir,
If you wish to apply for the PCS J exam, you must satisfy all the required criteria. The eligibility criteria are categorized into different parameters such as age limit, educational qualification, nationality, character, etc. Your candidature can be canceled if you fail to meet the given requirements.
1. The UPSC PCS J examination requires the minimum age of the candidate, while filling the application form to be 22 years, and maximum age to be 35 years.
2. However, the commission gives a certain age relaxation to SCs, STs, OBCs, Ex-serviceman, emergency commissioned officers, and short service commissioned officers, and Physically handicapped citizens.
3. Since you are an ex- serviceman retired from the Indian Air Force, you will be granted an age relaxation of more than 5 years. Thus, you are eligible for this exam and can easily appear for it.
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
