Hello Preeti,
The age limit for SBI Clerk and IBPS Clerk 2025 is usually 20 to 28 years , with age relaxation for reserved categories.
Since you were born on October 5, 1996 , you will be 29 years old in 2025. This means you will not be eligible for these exams under the general category. However, if you belong to a reserved category (like OBC, SC, ST, etc.), you may get age relaxation.
Hope it helps !

You are 18 years old and currently pursuing a diploma in engineering, you do not meet the minimum age requirement of 20 years or the educational qualification of holding a bachelor's degree. Therefore, you are not currently eligible to apply for the IBPS Clerk examination.
You meet the age requirement for the RRB Clerk examination. However, since you have not yet completed a bachelor's degree, you do not meet the educational qualification criteria.
