Sarkari Job Application Assistant: age check, photo resizer and application tracker

Three things trip up most applicants: age on the cut-off date, photo and signature size limits, and losing track of deadlines. This assistant handles all three on your phone. Your photos never leave your device.

QUICK ANSWERFor central government jobs, the upper age limit is relaxed by 3 years for OBC, 5 years for SC/ST and 10 years for PwBD (13 for OBC-PwBD, 15 for SC/ST-PwBD), calculated on the cut-off date in the notification. Photos are usually asked as JPG of about 20–50 KB and signatures 10–20 KB, but always follow your notification. Use this tool to check age, resize images and track applications.

✔ Rules checked on 04 Nov 2026 from official sources: Staff Selection Commission · UPSC · DoPT. Not a government website; the final decision is always the department’s.

Avoid the four common application mistakes

Read the notification for the exact cut-off date for age and qualification, the category certificate format (OBC-NCL central format, EWS Income & Asset certificate for the right financial year) and the image specifications. Many applications are rejected for a blurred photo, a signature in capital letters, or a photo older than the allowed limit.

Pay the fee only on the official site, take a printout of the final submitted form and fee receipt, and note your registration number and password. Keep a tracker of admit card and exam dates; this tool’s tracker saves them on your phone.

Frequently asked questions

How is age calculated for government jobs?

Age is calculated on the cut-off date given in the notification (for example 1 January or 1 August of the exam year). This tool shows your exact age in years, months and days on that date and whether you are within the limit after relaxation.

What is the age relaxation for OBC, SC and ST?

For most central government posts: OBC (non-creamy layer) 3 years, SC/ST 5 years, PwBD 10 years (13 for OBC and 15 for SC/ST PwBD), and ex-servicemen get relaxation for military service plus 3 years. Some posts have different rules, so the notification is final.

How do I reduce photo size to 20–50 KB?

Upload your photo in the resizer, choose the width and height in pixels and the KB range from the notification, and download the JPG. The tool lowers the quality step by step until the file fits the range.

Are my photos uploaded to your server?

No. Resizing happens inside your browser. The photo never leaves your phone.

Is this tool free? Do I need to log in?

Yes, it is completely free and works without login on any phone. Nothing you type is uploaded; it stays in your browser.

Is FastFee a government website?

No. FastFee is a private Indian fintech. These free tools summarise official rules and always link to the official government portal, where the final decision is made.
