Hi aspirant,

The date of birth mentioned by you is not valid and does we cannot predict whether you would be eligible for writing the UPSC examination in 2025 or not in terms of age limitations. If your age would lie between 21 to 32 years by the end of August 2025, you would be eligible for writing the UPSC examination because candidates in their final year or awaiting results, candidates are also eligible to appear for UPSC preliminary Examination.

Hope it helps!
