How to Become an IPS Officer After 12th

Have you completed 12th standard? Do you want to become an IPS Officer? If yes, this article will be of help to you. Here, you’ll be reading about the topic – ‘how to become an IPS Officer after 12th?’.


Civil Services Exam is a very popular competitive exam in India. IAS and IPS are the two most popular choices among Civil Services aspirants.

 Policing is a glamorous and respectable profession. The prospect of donning Police uniform and maintaining law and order is a dream that many young Indians nourish!

 Each day, I get bombarded with questions related to these careers. I’ve noticed that school students are very keen on becoming IAS and IPS Officers.

 School students ask me different doubts and questions regarding CSE and list of Civil Services. One question that caught my attention is – ‘how can I become an IPS Officer after completing 12th?’ OR ‘Is there a way to become an IPS Officer right after 12th?’ OR ‘How to become an IPS Officer after 12th?’.

 I’ve answered these questions and guided those students appropriately. But after coming across these questions repeatedly, I decided to settle this matter once and for all. That’s how I decided to write an article on the same topic.


IPS AFTER 12TH: IS IT POSSIBLE?

It is not possible to become an IPS Officer right after completing 12th standard!

In order to become an IPS Officer, you must apply for CSE exam conducted by the UPSC. You must also crack the exam (preliminary, mains and interview) in order to get selected for the training.

The basic eligibility criteria required to appear for this exam is – candidate must possess Graduate Degree from a recognized University/Institute!

So technically, 12th passed students can’t appear for this exam right after 12th. After completing 12th, they must complete Graduation first. After completing Graduation program successfully, they may take a shot and CSE and become an IPS Officer subsequently!

YOU MAY BEGIN PREPARATION AFTER 12TH THOUGH!

Interested candidates may start CSE preparation after 12th. Well, preparation can be started well before reaching 12th standard too!

You may start off CSE preparation by focusing on current affairs, making notes (related to current affairs) and reading newspapers daily.
