How to check your age for a government job
- Enter your date of birth exactly as it appears on your CNIC or matric certificate.
- Enter the closing date, or the specific date the advertisement says age will be counted on.
- Enter the minimum and maximum age from the advertisement, for example 18 to 30 years.
- Add any age relaxation you are entitled to. The calculator adds it to the maximum age.
You will see whether you are eligible, under age or over age, and by exactly how many years, months and days.
What is age relaxation?
Many federal and provincial recruitment rules in Pakistan allow candidates in certain categories to apply above the normal upper age limit. Common examples include serving government employees, persons with disabilities, and candidates from specific regions. The number of years differs by commission, province and post, and it can change, so always take the figure from the advertisement or the commission's rules and enter it in the relaxation box.
Why the exact day matters
Commissions count age to the day. If the upper limit is 30 years and you are 30 years and 1 day old on the closing date, most advertisements treat you as over age. This calculator follows that strict reading. If an advertisement words it differently, follow the advertisement.
