Government exams after graduation
A degree moves you from the constable-and-clerk tier to officer and manager tracks — CGL desks, bank PO, Railway NTPC, police SI.
Listed below is every exam meribari tracks that a graduate qualifies for. Because eligibility works upward, that includes not just the graduate-level examinations but every 10th and 12th level exam as well — grouped accordingly so nothing is hidden.
The graduate-level records here span banking (IBPS PO and Clerk), SSC CGL, Railway NTPC and UP Police SI. Each carries its own age cut-off date — only UP SI's is confirmed on record so far; where a cut-off is unconfirmed, the entry below says so instead of quoting a bare number.
11 exams listed · 11 verified from the official notification · 0 compiled from public sources and flagged below. More are added as each is verified against its notification.

Frequently asked
Which government exams can I apply for after graduation?
meribari currently tracks 11 exams open to candidates with graduation: IBPS Clerk, IBPS PO, RRB NTPC Graduate, SSC CGL, UP SI (open to graduates and above); RRB NTPC UG, SSC CHSL, UP Constable (open to 12th pass and above); RRB Group D, SSC GD, SSC MTS (open to 10th pass and above).

What is the age limit for government exams after graduation?
There is no single limit — every exam reckons age against its own cut-off date. For 11 of the 11 exams listed here the cut-off is confirmed on record:
| Exam | Base age limit | As on |
|---|---|---|
| SSC GD | 18–23 years | 01 Jan 2026 |
| UP Constable | Varies by category & gender | 01 Jul 2025 |
| UP SI | 21–28 years | 01 Jul 2025 |

| IBPS Clerk | 20–28 years | 01 Aug 2026 |
Can a graduate apply for exams whose minimum is only 10th or 12th pass?
Yes. Eligibility works upward, not downward: an exam that asks for 10th pass accepts anyone with 10th pass or higher, so a graduate can apply for every exam on this page regardless of which level group it sits in. What you cannot do is the reverse — a candidate without graduation cannot apply for exams that list it as the minimum.
Why does this page list fewer exams than other websites?
Because every entry here comes from a record in our eligibility database, with its source and verification state shown. Most sites scrape coaching aggregators and list hundreds of exams nobody has checked; we would rather show 11 exams where the qualification, the age cut-off date and what is still unconfirmed are stated plainly. More exams are being added as each one is verified against its official notification.
How do I check which of these I actually qualify for?
Use the Exam Finder. Enter your date of birth, qualification, category and state once — it checks you against every exam meribari tracks and tells you why you qualify or not, including relaxations for your category. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Not sure which exams you qualify for?
Answer a few questions about your age, qualification and category — the Finder checks you against every exam we track, right on your phone, nothing sent anywhere.
