"Due to corona pandemic, competitive examinations for jobs could not be conducted on time for two years, so candidates will be given two years relaxation in upper age limit in upcoming competitive examinations," Gehlot tweeted.

कोविड के कारण दो वर्षों तक नौकरी के लिए प्रतियोगी परीक्षाएं समय पर आयोजित नहीं हो सकीं इसलिए आगामी प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं में अभ्यर्थियों को ऊपरी आयुसीमा में दो वर्षों की छूट दी जाएगी।
