Well i want to become a custom officer and i have 12th pass certificate and done schooling from DAV public school. What should i do to become one?? please help me out.

First, you need to complete graduation. All government job examination require graduation degree.

After that, you have two option, either appear for SSC CGL or Civil service exam.

Through CGL you can become custom inspector and by Civil service, you can become IRS(CE) officer.

Both are highly competitive exam, but you can start full time preparation from final year of graduation. Until then, start building up general knowledge from current affair magazine. Read a newspaper daily, that would be sufficient for now.

There are many coaching for these exams, so you can take coaching after graduation.

With 10+2 as academic qualification, you can not become Custom officer. The minimum academic qualification required for Customer officer is graduation in any discipline from a recognized university.

So, first you need to complete your bachelor's degree then apply for Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate level exam for becoming Custom Officer. There are three stages of that exam Tier I, Tier II and personal interview.

For becoming Custom Officer or Income tax officer, a candidate must appear for Combined Graduate Level exam conducted by Staff Selection Commission every year.

But let me tell you that the least academic requirement for that exam is graduation in any stream from an UGC recognized university. After 10+2, you can not appear for this exam and hence you can not become Custom Officer.
