Verify your eligibility systematically before filling the form
Government-job eligibility is not only age and degree. Cutoff date, category relaxation, nationality, physical standards, typing or computer skill, experience and valid documents can all affect selection. IUC Academy offers guidance; the official notification is the final legal authority.

Eligibility Checker — Detailed Overview
Eligibility criteria are the legal foundation of government recruitment. If you do not meet the essential criteria, you can be disqualified at the document-verification or interview stage even after submitting the form, and the fee is not refunded. So every candidate should cross-check age limit, educational qualification, nationality, category status and post-specific conditions (such as height, chest measurement, typing speed and computer proficiency) before applying. Age and category relaxation rules follow a similar pattern in almost every central exam, but the exact number of years can differ in each notification.

Important points
Key facts about Eligibility Checker
These points are a quick reference; detailed rules are always in the official notification.
Crucial date
Age is always calculated as on the 'crucial date' specified in the notification (usually the last date of application), not the current date.
Category certificate validity
An OBC-NCL certificate has limited validity (typically the current financial year); an old certificate can be rejected.
Multiple relaxation
Some candidates (for example OBC + PwBD) can combine two relaxations, but the total is capped at a maximum, which the notification specifies.
Domicile requirement
State-level recruitment often makes the state's domicile or residence certificate mandatory; central recruitment generally does not.

Frequently asked
Common questions about Eligibility Checker
Treat these answers as general guidance; for case-specific doubts use the official helpdesk or grievance portal.
Can I apply if my qualification result is awaited?
Many exams let 'result awaited' candidates apply conditionally, but the final qualification proof must be submitted by the document-verification stage. The rule can differ in each notification, so always confirm it.
Until what date should my category certificate be valid?
Most exams ask for an OBC-NCL certificate of the current financial year. SC/ST certificates do not expire but must be in the prescribed format.
Is the fee refunded if I turn out to be ineligible?
No. The application fee is generally non-refundable even if you do not meet the eligibility criteria, so verify the criteria thoroughly before applying.
