No minimum age is stated. Relaxation for SC, ST, OBC and PwBD candidates follows Government of India rules, and the notification does not give the years. Ex-servicemen also get relaxation as per GoI rules. There is no age bar for permanent BHU employees. For Group C posts, time already worked in BHU on a project, scheme, contract or daily-wage basis can count toward age relaxation if one stretch was longer than six months.
