Hello Aspirant,

Unfortunately you won't be eligible for UPSC CSE 2022, this is because you will be having your age of more than 42 years on August 1st 2022, which violates the eligibility criteria because as per the eligibility criteria " the candidate should have not crossed age of maximum 42 years with 10 years of relaxation on the August 1st of examination year" with following age relaxation as per the reservation criteria of UPSC :-

>>>> OBC - 3 years

>>>> SC/ ST - 5 years

>>>> Defense Services Personnel, who got disabled during operations during hostilities with any foreign country or in a disturbed area and released as a consequence - 3 years

>>>> Ex-servicemen including Commissioned Officers (CO) and ECOs/ SSCOs who will render at least five years Military Service as of August 1, 2021, and have been released - 5 years

ECOs/SSCOs who have completed an initial period of assignment of five years of Military Service as of 1st August 2021 - 5 years

>>>> In the following cases: blindness and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing, locomotor disability including acid attack, cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, victims and muscular dystrophy, intellectual disability, autism, specific learning disability and mental illness - 10 years

>>>> Candidates ordinarily domiciled in the State of Jammu & Kashmir from January 1, 1981, to December 31, 1989. - 5 years

>>>> So as per the age criteria you are not eligible for UPSC IAS exam 2022 because the candidate should have not crossed age of maximum 42 years with 10 years of relaxation on the August 1st of examination year and you do.
