Can I Still Crack SSC CGL at 31 After Failing Mains for 2 Years?

Ans: Hi
It would be better to contact with a local counselor who can guide you in this situation very well. You are quite confused at this state and this confusion can't be resolved just by Question and Answer method.

Ans: Depends upon which post you are applying for. The age limit for most of the posts is 30 years. The age limit for Jr. Statistical Officer is 32 years. However, reserved category applicants receive age relaxation according to their category, which again depends upon 'your category' . Please visit the SSC's direct website to get the information in detail. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Ans: Uday Sir, thank you for reaching RediffGURU. Your concern is completely valid — and many parents face the same confusion after 10th, especially after taking a DMIT test. Let me explain everything in a clear and practical way: DMIT (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test) is based on fingerprint patterns and claims to assess a child’s inborn talents, personality, and learning style. While it can give some general insights, it is not scientifically proven and should not be the sole basis for career decisions. However, to some extent, Psychometric Test will be more helpful, compared to DMIT, providing some suitable career options for your son. So, use DMIT as a guidance tool, not as the final decision-maker. What Should You Focus on Instead? His Interest + Aptitude + Effort — These matter more than any test. Look at your son's performance in Maths, Science, English, etc. during SSC. Has he shown any interest in: Coding or Computers? Business or Finance? Design or Creativity? Communication or Language? Based on this, you/he can help select the right stream (Engineering | Medical | Commerce | Arts-Humanities) or he prefers Diploma (like CSE Diploma after 10th) if he's not confident about handling 11th-12th Science, then a diploma in Computer Engineering (CSE) is a good alternative. After 3 years of diploma, he can join 2nd year of Engineering (B.E/B.Tech) through lateral entry. But again, it should be based on his interest in technology or computers — not pressure.

Talk to your son — ask what he enjoys or dreams about. Use DMIT + school marks + family guidance together to decide. Don’t choose a stream only because “DMIT said so” or “log kya kahenge.” All the best for your Son's Bright Future!
