Understanding Bihar ITICAT Age Limits
To successfully apply for the Bihar ITICAT, the Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) requires candidates to be strictly between 17 and 60 years of age as of the official cutoff date (August 1, 2026). However, significant age relaxations are granted to candidates from reserved categories, allowing OBC, SC, ST, and PwBD applicants to apply beyond the base maximum limit. Our exact age calculator automatically applies these specific 2026 official notification rules to verify your eligibility instantly.

Is this age calculator officially provided by BCECEB?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility platform. However, our engine is hardcoded to strictly follow the official BCECEB notification rules and cut-off dates for 2026. We recommend using this as a quick reference, but always cross-check with the official BCECEB notification for your specific exam and post.
What is the official Cut-off Date for age calculation?
For the 2026 cycle, BCECEB calculates your exact age as on August 1, 2026. Our calculator automatically uses this exact date.
Common Bihar ITICAT Age Eligibility Errors
"Applying under wrong category relaxation"
Many candidates select General instead of their eligible reservation category, missing out on age relaxation of up to 5–10 years for OBC/SC/ST.
"Incorrect DOB entered during registration"
Even a single-day typo can render you ineligible. Always cross-check your DOB against your 10th certificate before submitting.
"Cut-off date confusion"
BCECEB calculates age as on August 1, 2026 — not the exam date or application date. Our calculator already uses this exact date.
