No you can't give IPS Entrance examination with 18 years of age. To participate in IPS Entrance Examination then you should reach 21 years of age.

IPS stands for Indian Police Service and this Examination is Conducted by Indian Police Service.

I am sorry to say that you are not eligible to become IPS officer as you are having the age of only 18 years.

The minimum age criteria that is required for the candidates to become IPS officer is by 21-30 years.

Relaxation in upper age limit upto 3 years for the candidates of OBC category.

The selection procedure would involve

You should have completed your Graduation with any of the stream from a recognized university to apply for this Exam.

Candidates who are pursuing final year of Graduation can also apply for this Exam but they should be able to shoe the proof of passing in Graduation when they appear for Interview.

So, first try to complete your Graduation with the stream as per your interest.
