How this tool works
This calculator counts your age in completed years, months and days on July 1, 2026, the TNPSC cut-off date for CTSE (Diploma / ITI Level), and compares it with the age limit (18–32 years) after adding your category's relaxation. Exactly the minimum age on that date counts as eligible; reaching the maximum age on that date does not, and the result shows the birth-date range to compare with the notification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the age limit cut-off date for TNPSC CTSE Diploma/ITI 2026?
For most posts in this recruitment, the age limit is strictly calculated as of 01.07.2026. However, for the post of Junior Training Officer (JTO) across all trades, the cut-off date to calculate the minimum age of 21 years is uniquely set to 01.08.2026.
What does 'No Maximum Age Limit' mean for reserved categories?
For candidates belonging to reserved categories (BC, BCM, MBC/DC, SC, SC(A), ST) possessing the prescribed educational qualification, 'No Maximum Age Limit' simply means they can apply for the exam up to the standard government retirement age of 60 years.
Is this age calculator officially provided by TNPSC?
No. FreeApplyTools is an independent utility platform. However, our engine is hardcoded to strictly follow the official TNPSC notification rules and cut-off dates for 2026. We recommend using this as a quick reference, but always cross-check with the official TNPSC notification for your specific exam and post.
What is the official Cut-off Date for age calculation?
For the 2026 cycle, TNPSC calculates your exact age as on July 1, 2026. Our calculator automatically uses this exact date.
Common CTSE (Diploma / ITI Level) 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"
TNPSC calculates age as on July 1, 2026 — not the exam date or application date. Our calculator already uses this exact date.
