This is because,

To be  eligible ,you  should not be more than  32 years  old  as on 1st August of the year of appearing for UPSC examination i.e as on 1st August 2023 for UPSC 2023 and you fulfill this criteria with your mentioned date of birth as  you will be 31 years old as on 1 August 2023 i. e less than 32 years and thus eligible.

For reference, UPSC eligibility  criteria is provided below:-

To help you further, here's a brief of your UPSC examination pattern

Your UPSC civil services examination consists of three stages

********prelims exam :- it is objective paper and is of qualifying nature , so you just  need to at least qualify it to be eligible for mains examination, the score /marks obtained by you in your prelims examination is not added up or used in your final merit. Your prelims exam consist of 2 papers: -

-----) general studies  1

-----) general studies II ( csat )

You get 2 hours for each paper


********Mains exam. :- it is descriptive /written examination . There are a total of 9 papers  which are listed below:-


-----) compulsory indian language.

-----) english

-----) essay

-----) general studies I

-----) general studies II

-----) general studies III

The compulsory indian language and english are qualifying in nature . You just need to qualify them. The marks obtained by you in these two papers will not be counted towards merit list.


*********Interview :- After qualifying mains, you have to go through interview round, and it is more of test of your personality rather than knowledge.
