Guys, in the history of changing anything in such matters (such as law degrees being 4 years now, or 2 year work experience for masters, or MBA requirements of 16 years education etc and etc and etc), nothing gets changed abruptly and with immediate affect.

EVEN IF they change the criteria to a minimum 16 years of education for CSS, it would not be applied before 2019.

Therefore it is in the best interest of EVERYONE that ALL changes take place.

Age relaxation boost to 30 years, however, does not negatively affect anyone. If possible - although unlikely - it gets approved as a single/independent change, will help many aspirants in appearing coming year.
