    1. No Suman as your age should be 35 years as on last date for receipt of application which is 9-07-2015 but your date of birth is on 02-07-2015.

      1. But sir in some pages I saw candidate should be below 35 yrs as on 01.07.2015….So what is the real date 1st july or 9th july , should be counted!!!

      2. But I read in few pages(govt. job alert) that candidates should be below 35 yrs as on 1st july…So what is the real date 1st july or 9th july??? confused!!…Plz give me authentic information..

        1. Suman, Your Age should not be exceeding 35 years as on normal closing date. Since the normal closing date is 9 july 2015 and your date of birth is 2 July 2015. That means your age exceeds 35 years on normal closing date
