[{"selector":"#anim-fd29a1fd-7bf5-46ac-bc4f-77a9a964e2e1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3c7bd1e1-c6e2-4493-bca3-543ecc7a2d23","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.18987%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1651c6a9-0917-42bd-b9f4-14cf8f40c54e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa0719c9-9d70-41de-938a-81bee1d7ed22","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.33547%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] There is no fixed number of attempts for GPSC exams; eligibility depends on age, not on how many times you've applied.

2. Age-Based Attempts

[{"selector":"#anim-180a0050-4416-4f1a-86a8-72aea2a0079d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9f0672ab-f6d7-40b1-b105-7a8ce8298ff9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.18987%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-730e3bf0-7666-4fb6-970c-fdc864c100e4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76f8061d-ff67-49be-92f3-279c7ae78454","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.33547%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] As long as you are within the eligible age limit , you can appear for GPSC exams regardless of the number of prior attempts.

3. General Category Example

[{"selector":"#anim-0e318779-5ac1-4b6f-81ee-585484264e35","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-882e47b7-65b3-4c4c-9cc1-57ae6c2e8cea","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-1deg) translate3d(115.18987%, 0px, 0) rotate(1deg)","rotate(-1deg) translate3d(0px, 0px, 0) rotate(1deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-acc17e03-fb8b-46f7-b149-e2bda46544a8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf5823e8-c4f8-49f5-9744-4a610cf5aece","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.33547%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] A general category candidate (max age 35) may get about 3–4 realistic attempts , depending on notification frequency.

4. Reserved Category Advantage

[{"selector":"#anim-6c1956f6-a613-47ca-9ec3-6218ebd03b73","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4925dbe0-29ae-4f1f-a7e1-8f22cc42ba2b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.13924%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ebd58d9f-1987-48fc-b3c3-57d4f8f26a26","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f3f6edd7-1002-415b-ae2c-fe5c3b42051d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.33547%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] SC, ST, SEBC, and female candidates have higher age limits , which naturally give them more attempt opportunities.

5. PWD Candidates

[{"selector":"#anim-8f45319d-0117-494b-9bf3-6a1f5b89af7b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ddd7aa85-2e66-42ad-8414-ad27322990e9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.08861%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9fd3314-6e7c-4f37-8371-7d5a227bc483","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee2632fd-142b-4d39-8edc-ec42125285ce","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.05751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Physically disabled candidates benefit from 10-year age relaxation , increasing total possible attempts significantly.

6. Official Clause

[{"selector":"#anim-f74cf3d3-cf73-4575-a1de-ecd2f9c8a6ac","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1fde52ae-a1d3-4642-b65e-ed8a01e29b94","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.55696%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14a03ad8-c474-456c-832c-615286f2dedb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1475042f-9f23-48b5-904d-9f19fb60aaf5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.29393%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] GPSC officially does not cap the number of attempts in any of its recent notifications — only age criteria is enforced.
