There can be multiple ways to become a custom officer but i know one and i am telling you that.
firstly you have to complete your graduation then you can go for a paper conducted by SSC (staff selection commission) known as CGL (Combined Graduate Level).
If you clear that examination with good marks (520 out of 700) then you can get a job of Custom inspector and after that by clearing departmental exam or by promotion you can become a Custom officer.
