UPSC age limit cut-off of August 1 challenged by aspirants in letters to CJI

India Today  

A group of at least 15 civil service exam aspirants has approached Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna with individual letters, challenging the current age eligibility rule. They argue that the regulation, which sets August 1 as the cut-off date for determining the maximum age limit, is discriminatory and violates the principle of equal opportunity. Under the existing regulations, general category candidates must not have reached 32 years of age by August 1 of the exam year. While the civil services preliminary exam is typically held in May, this rule means that candidates who turn 32 on July 31 are ineligible, whereas those who turn 32 after August 1 are eligible to apply, despite being of the same age.
