SSC CHSL Age Limit Criteria
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) conducts the Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL) examination annually to recruit candidates for various posts like Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA), and Data Entry Operator (DEO). One of the primary eligibility hurdles for aspirants is the SSC CHSL Age Limit.
Generally, the standard age bracket for the Unreserved (UR) category is 18 to 27 years. This means the candidate must have been born not earlier than the specified date and not later than the cut-off date mentioned in the official notification. However, the SSC provides significant age relaxations for reserved categories as per government norms.
