The first thing is that you should be a graduate and have to appear for Civils exams. It is of two sections or two phases.

If you qualify in Prelims then you have to appear for mains.
If you qualify in Mains then as per your performance you would be given designations like IAS or IPS etc.

All the Best!

Top rankers will be allotted IFS (Indian Foreign Service) and IAS. Then it will be the turn for IPS.
However, if one specifically likes IPS, he can choose it even if he is in the top ranks.
