About the Lok Sewa age eligibility calculator

Lok Sewa Aayog sets a minimum and maximum age for each advertised post. For most general posts the band is 18 to 35 years. Women and candidates with disabilities generally get an upper limit of 40, while health-service posts can go up to 45. This calculator checks your completed age on the application deadline and tells you whether you fall inside the band.

Why the deadline matters

Age is not counted on the day you fill the form. It is counted as of the last date for submitting the application, which is stated in the vacancy notice. A candidate who is 35 on the deadline may still be eligible; one who has already turned 36 is not, even if the form was filled earlier. Enter both your date of birth and the deadline shown in the notice.

Women, disability and health posts

For standard posts, women and candidates with disabilities get an upper age limit of 40, subject to the rules in the advertisement. Health-service posts have a separate ceiling, commonly 45. If you are a permanent employee of an organised institution, the upper limit may not apply when you apply through the prescribed internal process. The calculator includes a checkbox for that exemption.

Age is only one requirement

Meeting the age band does not make you eligible on its own. Each post also requires a specific educational qualification, experience, training or licence. Some technical and gazetted posts have a higher minimum age of 21. Always read the full vacancy notice and the Civil Service Act before applying.

How the age is calculated

The tool converts your BS or AD date of birth, works out completed years, months and days on the deadline, and compares that with the selected post. It also shows the latest and earliest dates of birth that would fall inside the band, which is useful for checking family members or friends.

Frequently asked questions

What is the age limit for Lok Sewa in Nepal?
Most general posts require candidates to be at least 18 and not more than 35 years old. Women and candidates with disabilities generally get an upper limit of 40, and health-service posts can go up to 45. The exact rule is printed in each vacancy notice.
Is Lok Sewa age calculated in BS or AD?
Both are accepted as long as the dates are correct. The age is the same whichever calendar you use; the calculator converts BS to AD internally and then compares the dates.
What is the deadline used for the age calculation?
The last date for submitting the application, as stated in the vacancy notice. The default in this tool is 2083/04/26 BS, the regular 2083 advertisement deadline, but you should change it to match your notice.
Can I apply after turning 35?
For a general post, no: you must not have completed 36 years by the deadline. Women, candidates with disabilities, health-service candidates and some permanent employees have different ceilings, so check the applicable category in the calculator.
Does a permanent government job exempt me from the age limit?
Permanent employees of organised institutions may be exempt from the upper age limit when applying through the prescribed internal process. The minimum age still applies, and the vacancy notice may add service requirements.
Does meeting the age limit guarantee eligibility?
No. You must also meet the education, experience, training and licence requirements for the post. Age is only the first filter.
