Respected Sir/Madam, I am a B.Com student and it's my final year. After my B.Com, I have a dream to become a district commissioner, but I don't have any idea, what I have to do. Please advise me.

You cannot become a district commissioner just after completing B.Com. IPS officers who performs well in their career gets promotion and the becomes a district commissioner. So, at first you have to write the Civil Services examination conducted by UPSC for IPS and for this examination you have to fulfill the following eligibility criteria:

> You should have completed your graduation in any discipline from a recognized college/university.

> You must be an Indian citizen.

> Your age should be in between 21 years to 32 years, for SC/ST candidates it is 37 years and for OBC it is 35 years.

> You must have a good height and should be physically fit.

There is no direct recruitment as Police Commissioner in the district and one can achieve the post after some promotion.

So, first you have to appear and qualify in Civil Service examination conducted by UPSC. The examination is conducted for recruitment as an I.A.S, I.P.S, I.F.S etc.

Since you are in final year of B.Com, you can appear in examination next year. The age limit to appear in examination is 21-32 years with relaxation in upper age limit. Candidates have to qualify in all three stages of examination for final selection.

The examination is conducted in three stages as Preliminary, Mains and Interview.
