- The table prints the minimum as “18/19 years” without splitting it by post; the calculator uses 19.
- The advertisement is a Marathi scan with no text layer, so these lines were read from the page images; each Source popover gives the Marathi line and an English translation.

Common Rajya Seva (State Service) 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"
MPSC calculates age as on April 1, 2026 — not the exam date or application date. Our calculator already uses this exact date.
