Age Limit for Primary teacher in government schools for OBC

I have completed JBT. I am interested in government job. What is the maximum age limit to enroll as primary teacher in government schools?

Teaching profession is one of the most reputed and noble professions. Junior Basic Training (JBT) is a two years duration diploma course. The course can be done after qualifying 12th.

According to my knowledge, the maximum age limit for OBC candidates is 42 years.
General: 18-39 years
SC/ST : 18-44 years
OBC : 18-42 years
PH : 18-49 years

In the state of Uttar Pradesh, from 2011 the maximum age limit for General category is extended to 40 years and 45 years for OBC category candidates.
