Hi

You can surely appear in the exam. For ex-servicemen the age relaxation is 10 years

You are entitled to claim age relaxation in view of your Navy service for 8 years which falls under ex-servicemen category.

There is a relaxation given to the army personnel but it is only for 5 years, which gives the maximum age for the army personnel as 35 years.

Beyond that you are not allowed to give the exam

Dear Client,

Ex servicemen who have rendered at least 5 years military service and have been released but Commissioned Officers (ECOs/SSCOs) who have been released on their own accord are not eligible to take the concession.

Also, A defence personnel cannot take the UPSC civil services while in service. However, a short service commissioned (SSC) officer in the army can take the exam if he has less than two years of service left.

Check your eligibility going through above.

you should have ex-serviceman certificate issued by the department where you last served. generally the qualifying service for concession under ex-servicemen quota shall be prescribed in the application form itself, you can verify the information from the application form or from the advertisement.

the concession you have already availed for the purpose of employment with CRPF may be cited as reason for rejecting your application if you submit any seeking concession or age relaxation.

But it is not an end, you may try your luck.

Firslty, UPSC conducts number of state as well as national level exams.

Secondly, yes, you should be eligible for the same as you may be discharged as a selective candidate of UPSC, but not for the same post as of now you want to appear.
