03 August 2025 Good question! Here's how it generally works:

---

### What is the **Date of Qualification**?

* The **date of qualification** is usually the **date you *passed* the final exam**, i.e., the exam *result date*.
* Even if you cleared the exam in December 2009, if the official result declaration (passing date) was in February 2010, then **February 2010** is considered your qualification date.

---

### Regarding FCI notification where qualification, age, experience are reckoned as on 1-1-2010:

* Since your **result date (qualification) is February 2010**, and the cutoff is 1-Jan-2010, **you would NOT be eligible** because as of 1-Jan-2010, you were not yet qualified.
* Passing exam date (exam held in December) is not considered — what matters is the official date of passing.

---

### Summary:

| Factor | Your Status |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Exam date | December 2009 |
| Result/qualification date | February 2010 |
| Cutoff date in notification | 1 January 2010 |
| Eligibility for FCI | Not eligible (qualification after cutoff) |

---

### What to do?

* For applications not specifying a cutoff date, you can mention **February 2010** as your date of qualification.
* For jobs or notifications with a cutoff date before your result date, unfortunately, you may not qualify.
