CM Hemant Soren Extends JPSC Age Limit to 2022 Cutoff Date

Relief swept through Jharkhand’s aspirant community after Chief Minister Hemant Soren informed the legislative assembly of a four-year upward revision in the maximum age eligibility for the 14th JPSC Combined Civil Services Exam. Shifting the age cutoff from the earlier August 2026 benchmark to August 2022, the change grants breathing room to candidates aged out by delays in exam cycles. Aspirants had been seeking leeway, and Soren’s declaration delivered four years, quelling petitions and delivering on demands for fairer recruitment access in the state’s administrative machinery.
