This discussion clarifies the age limit for the RAS (Rajasthan Administrative Service) exam. For general candidates, the upper age limit is 40, but this extends to 45 for non-gazetted Rajasthan government employees. Further age relaxations apply: 10 years for SC/ST/OBC and women, and 5 years for general category women. This means a non-gazetted general category woman could potentially apply up to the age of 50. Age is calculated as of January 1st of the recruitment year.
