Yes, an officer who is already in service can join civil services after clearing the civil services exam.

i came to know through your website only that a serving army officer can join the civil services once he clears the exam but i want to know the legalities of it.

i have heared that armed forces officers will be given the choice of becoming volunteer ias or ips officer.they will have to clear an exam other than civil services exam.
