Quick Answer / Key Information
Service / Topic: OSSC CGL age limit
Official Portal: OSSC website
Application Mode: Read the Age clause in the advertisement on ossc.gov.in
Estimated Timeline: As per Odisha Right to Public Services Act (ORTPSA)
Required Documents (Summary): HSC (Class 10) certificate for date of birth
Prescribed Fees: Standard government statutory fee (or free as prescribed)

In OSSC’s latest graduate-level advertisement, CGLRE Specialist-2025 (Advt. No. 5919/OSSC), the OSSC CGL age limit is 21 to 42 years as on 1 January 2025. So you must have been born between 2 January 1983 and 1 January 2004.

How to check:

  1. Visit the OSSC website and open Advertisements.
  2. Open the detailed advertisement of your exam and read the “Age” clause.
  3. Add your relaxation: 5 years for SEBC, SC, ST and women candidates, 10 years for PwD candidates, and the defence service period for ex-servicemen.
  4. Check your date of birth as written in your HSC (Class 10) certificate; OSSC accepts only that.

Only one relaxation applies, so use the one that helps you most. The cut-off date can change with each new advertisement, so always check the current one.
