Procedure required to apply for Indian Police Services (IPS):

There is a certain procedure to be followed for appearing in Indian Police Services. In order to join IPS, you are required to appear in an entrance examination called "CSAT" (Civil Services Aptitude Test) conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

As you have passed 12th Class, I suggest you to first pursue Graduation in the stream in which you are most interested at. There are basically 3 rounds to join IPS.
