Friend, sorry to say that you are only eligible for IAS Examination and not eligible for IPS Examination. Because your present height is shorter than the required height for IPS.But in case of IAS Exsmination, there is no any emphasis given on height. So you are fully eligible for IAS Examination.For being eligible for IAS Examination, you must have bachelor degree in any discipline. Must be subject of India.Age required is 20-30 years for General category. Age required is 20-33 years for OBC category. Age required is 20-35 years for Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribe categories.

Dear Hight of the candidate only matters for IPS - Indian Police Service Examination not for IAS examination that is why you do not need to worry about IAS Examination and apply for Indian Administrative Service Examination

According to your mentioned Hight you are - 162.20 cm long which is not enough for IPS Officer post because it requires 165 cm of hight for male candidate but if you belongs to ST category then only you will get 5 cm of relaxation in hight and you will need only 160 cm of hight for IPS Officer post but there is no criteria for Indian Administrative Service Examination but you must have following eligibility criteria to apply for both exams

You must posses a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university and final year pursuing candidates are also eligible to apply for this exam

Age should not be less than 21 years and more than 30 years and relaxation in upper age as per government guidelines which is 5 years for SC/ST and 3 years for OBC category candidates

IPS is a departmental examination and you directly can not apply for this exam because IPS Officers does not selected by open and direct recruitment, to apply for this examination you should have already in relevant service then only you will be eligible for IPS Examination

All the best

yes you can apply for civil servies examination., there is no such criteria of height in civil services examination.

Friend, you should complete your graduation first. As you 5 feet 4 inches i.e. 160 cm you can easily give IPS exam. And for IAS exam no physical qualification is required. Remember one more thing, age limit for these both exams is 21-30 years.

in IAS exam there is no physical requirement

in IPS exam minimum height is 157 cms

so you apply for both exam

#age limit is 21- 30 years(general)
21- 33 years(obc)
21- 35 years(sc/st)

#candidate must have graduate degree.

Dear friend,

You are eligible for IAS but not for IPS.

For IAS : No requirements of height.

For IPS : Male - 165 cm for GEN/OBC/SC
162.5 for ST

Female - 155 cm for GEN/OBC/SC
154 cm for ST

Both comes under civil services. For that you give civil services examination.

Age Limit : Candidate must be under 21-30 years.

Educational requirements : Candidate should be graduate from any recognized university and also can apply in last year of graduation.

Good Luck
