Hello Aspirant,

See as per your Date of Birth, in August 2023 you will be approx. 32 years but will not complete 32 years so you would be considered as eligible for your last attempt of UPSC i.e. UPSC 2023 because the age limit for UPSC IAS exam is 21 year to 32 year and in November 2023 you will complete 32 years so you will be no more eligible for it until and unless you are from some reserved category with following age relaxation as per the reservation criteria of UPSC :-

>>>> OBC - 3 years
