Yes, you can become an IPS Officer after completion of your B.Sc. General with 50% aggregate marks from a recognised university. Candidates who have passed Bachelor’s degree course in any discipline from a government recognised university are eligible to apply for IPS examination. The age limit required to apply for IPS examination is 21 to 32 years. Upper age relaxation is applicable to reserved category candidates as per government rules.
