CSS Age Calculator

31 December of the year before the examination (31-12-2026 for CE-2027).

An upper limit of N years means you must not have reached your Nth birthday on the date age is counted. Turning N on that very date makes you over-age by one day.

There is none: the rules forbid any relaxation other than the 2 years below. The age limit is 21 to 30.

At most one 2-year concession, never two together, and no general relaxation.

• Scheduled Caste and Buddhist candidates: 2 years. Proof: Certificate from the Deputy Commissioner.

1. Enter your date of birth. The cut-off date is 31 December of the year before the examination - 31 December 2026 for CSS 2027.
2. The limit is 21 to 30 years. There is no general relaxation for CSS.
3. Tick a relaxation if one applies to you: 2 years, and only one of them.
4. You see your exact age on the cut-off date and each step of the working.

• Counting your age on the day the advertisement was published. Age is reckoned on the closing date for applications unless the advertisement names another date.
• Using a different date of birth from the one on your Matric certificate and CNIC. Recruiters go by your documents; if they differ, sort that out first.
• Adding the general relaxation yourself when the advertisement says the age limit already includes it. It is then counted only once.
• Assuming a relaxation applies without the proof. A relaxation that is not proved with the document the advertisement asks for is refused at scrutiny.
