To come with flying colours in competitive examination one needs some time. Generally on average a candidate requires 3-4 years to cross the final hurdles. Therefore a longer time frame is definitely the need of the hour. A candidate by the time finishes his higher education is generally in the mid 20's. Also owing to serious personal issues and global pandemic a candidate might loose some valuable years. Therefore it is of utmost necessity to increase the age criteria of general candidates to atleast 35 years if not more. Many state Government have increased the upper age limit for general candidates in the range of 40-45 years to apply for Government jobs then Why cant Central Government, IBPS, SSC can't do the same? Hopefully all the concerned and appropriate authorities will solve this legitimate demand of general candidates.
