I.P.S. stands for Indian Police service. To become an I.P.S. officer you will have to go through civil service examination conducted by Union Public Service Commission once every year .

There is no necessity of a particular stream for eligibility in the same examination.It depends on your own interest towards that stream because the questions will be asked in the examination according to your main subject in your graduation.

So my advice to you that you should go with commerce as your graduation stream because the sudden change in the stream in your graduation can effect you negative way .

The qualifications required for appearing in the same examination are mentioned below:-

You must have citizenship of India.

You must have done your graduation or must be in the final year of same with any of your stream from a recognised university.

Also your age must be within 21 years to 30 years. Also there is the provision of age relaxation for categories other than general as per government rules .

Maximum number of attempts for different category also varies from one category to other.

For more information visit the official website of U.P.S.C. That is www.upsc.gov.in .

At last I would like to suggest you that go for that stream in which you are interested.

Its good to serve for our own country. IPS is Indian police service its examination is conducted by UPSC. to appear for this examination you need to be graduate in any stream and you age must be between 21 to 27 and for those who belongs to any categories then they will get age relaxation.

I really appreciate ur thoughts and concern for ur future. It is a good decision but hardwork is imporatant here. Start preparing now it self. Because cracking IPS is not a simple thing. plz take a look on syllabus and list of optional subjects. Then u get to know what should be ur next step. If u take ur optional subject as ur subject which u have studied in ur degree it will be difficult to memorise all the things at a time when u have exam. Optional paper 1 and 2 will be on same day. If u take ur optional as ur degree subject it may have so many contents which we have studied 3 years or 4 years of ur degree and it will be problem to revise all those things in few hours. So take care when u choose ur optional subject. All the best for ur bright future.
