Hello,

To be eligible for the IBPS SO (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection Specialist Officer) exam under the general category, candidates typically need to be within the age range of 20 to 30 years as of a specific cutoff date , which is generally defined in the notification for that exam cycle.

Born on May 20, 1995, you would be 29 years old in 2024. If the cutoff date falls within that year and the upper age limit remains at 30 years, you would still be eligible to apply under the general category for that cycle .
