Middle class family will not stop you from becoming IPS.

Many people selected so far for IPS with middle class background.

To become IPS, dedication and self belief is mandatory with good preparation for the exam.

If you have it, no one will stop you.

Please don't think that you are from middle class family. It will demotivate you.
