Rani,
'Not more than 30 years' in conventional sense means 'less than 31 years' meaning you can even be 30 years 364 days old (which is equal to 30 years, by definition, by the way) to be eligible to sit for the exam. Please note that.

Cheers!

Hi Sir, I am an IAS aspirant and have written Prelims 2010 and not cleared. I applied as GM since i belong to Vokkaliga ( karnataka ). I was 29 this year ( DOB: 09/08/1980 ). Was very upset for not clearing. But i saw my caste if its rural comes as OBC. I am going to get the OBC for my caste now. My question is: 1) Can i apply as OBC again? ( i have crossed 30 now ). 2) Since i applied as GM in my 1st attempt, will they accept my application? thanks, skasavar
