Education and Career Forum

Hi,
I am Vikash Kumar. I am a student of class 12th from WBCHSE. I want to be an IPS Officer. I need help that how can I face these all. How can I appear in the UPSC examination for this. Please help me.

As you are presently pursuing 12th Class from WBCHSE board, you are not eligible to appear in UPSC Civil Services Examination with this qualification. In order to join "Indian Police Services", the minimum educational qualification required to be eligible is "Bachelor's Degree" or a Graduate Degree in any discipline from a recognized university. As the minimum qualification required is Graduate Degree, you are not eligible now with this 12th Class qualification. For this reason, I strongly suggest you to first complete the Graduation in which stream you are very much interested. The minimum duration it takes to complete Graduation is 3 years, so I suggest you to first concentrate on Graduation studies then you can apply for the Civil Services Recruitment after 3 or 4 years. You need to appear in Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) after Graduation and based on the marks and rank you secure you will be allocated to the concerned services such as Indian Administrative Services and Indian Police Services.
