Dear student,

Yes, you will be eligible for UPSC exam in 2025.

The minimum age a student should have for UPSC exam is 21 years old and the age of candidate should be less than 32 years for general category students, whereas there are some relaxation in age limits for reservation availing candidates.

As you have mentioned that your date of birth is 4 May 2004, so by the end April month of 2025, your age will be 21 years old and hence you are eligible to sit for the exam because age is considered keeping 1 August of the year of examination as a measuring point, so by August you will be 21+ in age.

I hope this answer helps you.
