Raising of Maximum Age Limit for Job Aspirants
Posted On: 25 MAR 2021 12:29PM by PIB Delhi
For recruitment to
Central Government posts, the recruiting agencies, such as the Union Public
Service Commission (UPSC), have been making necessary arrangements for conduct
of examinations in a safe manner considering the COVID-19 Pandemic safety
protocols. While conducting Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination-2020 on
04.10.2020, the UPSC also gave an option to the candidates to change the centre
for Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination-2020 so that candidates who had
moved to a different location before/during the COVID-19 pandemic could also
appear in the Examination. As such, the need for increasing the maximum age
limit for recruitment to various categories of posts under the Central
Government, due to the pandemic and lockdown in the country, does not arise.
Insofar as the increase in maximum age limit by two years for all the eligible
unemployed youths, who are seeking State Government jobs is concerned, it is
for the concerned State Governments to decide.
This information was
provided by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of
North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances &
Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh in written reply to
questions in Rajya Sabha today.
