Ex-servicemen are eligible for a five-year age relaxation, which applies to those who have completed a minimum of five years of military service and meet specific release conditions.

Candidates from SC, ST, OBC, and PwBD categories who also qualify as ex-servicemen can benefit from cumulative age relaxations. However, if there are no reserved vacancies for these categories, they may still apply but will not receive any age relaxations.
