26 is fine for a graduate program. If he was in his 30s, chance is very slim.

God forbid bad things. He will live long Amen.

But if he dies today, did he die at 26 years 26+ or 27 years?

Your last birthday is your real age.

My younger brother was born on November 6th, 1996. He became 26 years old last year November. He is worried if he can still apply for bank graduate trainees vacancies in which the criteria for the fresh graduates is that they should be not more than 26 years old. Because he will be 27 years on November 6th this year. Just few months to go.


Can he still be considered 26 years? Or is he above the age limit?


Tell him to reduce his age or else they'll screen him out. Except he has a strong connection in that bank then no issue.

He is no longer 26 and doesn't meet up with the age criteria

He is already more than 26 years old.



He is 26 and 8 months.




is he 27?

He is 26+



Not 26.

The reference point is a "year".


Age is a continuous variable in this regard.



26+1 month is greater than 26.



For example, NYSC said 30 or below for service eligibility.




Because of certain disputes, some people turned it to 29 years max.





But it is actually 30 or below.




If your date of birth is 27/08/1993, for example. And you graduate 28/08/2023, you become immediately ineligible by being a day older than 30 years old.

An hour to his 27th birth day, he is 26 years.

Can you fill any form and input 26+?
Have you seen any online form with such things as 26 plus in there selection?

Tell that to organizations like NYSC.



And who told you the reference is year? You think we are talking about birthday day here?




We are talking about age.




Age includes day, month and year.




Organizations like NYSC does not just look at the year you were born. They look at the day and month as well.



If you are one day or a month past your 30th birth, you will be treated as above 30.




It is the same with this issue.




Someone between 26 and 27 will be treated as older than 26.

Most official forms would not ask you for your age as a whole number.




They would rather ask for date of birth which would include day/month/year.




That is because age is never really a discrete variable, exactly like time. It is continuous until you die.

Technically speaking he's still 26 until his next birthday!



You meant ordinarily speaking.




Because technically, age is calculated in months and years.




In medicine, even in in pathology, you would have cases tendered as "man has been dead for a day and 2 hours."




They will not say, "man has been dead for a day".




They would include the hours past one day because those hours are not useless. They are significant.

Age is not fractionalized officially



On the contrary, age is fractionalized officially.




In fact, there is hardly any documents that would ask for your age as a whole number.




If you have such an official document, it would still ask for your date of birth. DD/MM/YYYY





In fact, most official documents would only ask for your date of birth, and not your age as a whole number.




And that is because age is continuous.





26.9
27.0
27.1



27.1 is obviously greater than 27.0 but less than 27.2

Date of birth is just to detail and certify the age.

It is just like presenting SSCE as a requirement. The SSCE is the koko. The school you attended to get SSCE is just to get more information or details or proofs.

Some organizations will add more details and specify date of target. But in this case, the guy is 26

Ordinarily, the guy is 26.





But technically, he is above 26.





Ever heard about NYSC age limit?





It works exactly the same.





Your date of birth is used to calculate your true age, and then matched against your graduation to see if you are eligible to serve. Once you are even 30 years and 1 day old, you become ineligible.





I once entered a program which said entrants must not be older than 35.





The system rejected me because (at the time), I was 35 years and 4 months.





What did you think the system used to decide that? My date of birth, of course. I was 4 months past my 35th birthday. I was not 36 yet, but I was already older than 35.

No, he is not. He is still 26 years old. He is either 26 years or 27 years old.

You mean NYSC exempted you because of the few months after your 30 years age? Even though you are not yet 31 years old then??

Good day my brother,
My advice is that, either he will be considered or not, let him apply first. Nobody will penalize or prosecutes him for doing so.
Best regards.
