Hi

No, you are not eligible for UPSC 2023 examination with your date of birth ob 12th march 1991

This is because,

For general category, upper age limit is 32 years old as on 1st of August of the year of filling the form i. e means to be eligible you should not be more than 32 years old on 1st August 2022 in case of UPSC 2022

But with your mentioned date of birth , you will be more than 32 years old i. e 32 years and 4 months old as on 1st August 2023 and  thus not eligible for UPSC 2023

You are eligible only till UPSC 2022

For reference,

UPSC eligibility  criteria is provided below:-
