    No, CDS i.e. Common Defense Services is for those who want to go to in Force line. If you want to go to Indian Army, Indian Air Force, Indian Navy then you have to fill the form of CDS.

    If you want to become IPS officer then you have to fill UPSC Civil Services Exam. The notification of exam is released in month of February. You can see the notification as UPSC-CSE exam. The minimum educational qualification is Graduation in this exam and age limit is 21 to 30 years.

    no dear CDS stands for combined defense services through which you can become an army ,air force,or naval officer.CDS has nothing to do with IPS.

    FOR IPS you have to apply for civil services exam conducted by upsc. i think you must go through the eligibility criteria for civil services :

    Eligibility criteria for civil services exams is:
    1.Graduation or engineering from a college under a recognized university.
    2.Final year appearing students can also apply for the upsc exam.
    3.Age limit is 21 to 30 years.
    4.OBC and SC/ST category gets an age relaxation of 3 and 5 years respectively.

    Hi dear

    Combined defence services (CDS) Examination of UPSC is for recruitment of officers in defence services and not in Police services. The successful candidates of the CDS Exam join IMA/OTA/NA/AFA according to their preference. So if you want to join Indian army this exam is a great opportunity.

    But as you are interested in joining Indian Police Services as an IPS officer; you will have to qualify the Civil Services Exam conducted by UPSC, with a good rank.

    The Civil Services Exam is conducted in following steps:
    1.Preliminary exam.
    2.Main Exam and a Personality test (Interview).

    The eligibility criteria for the exam is:
    #Nationality: Indian
    #Minimum academic qualification required for the Exam: A degree from a recognised university (Graduate).
    #Age limit : For Gen.- 21-30 years; for OBC- 21-33 years; for SC/ST- 21-35 yeas.

    The registration process will be both online and offline and all the other instructions for the Exam will be published in the Official notification for the Exam, which will be released by UPSC through the website http://www.upsc.gov.in .

    Good luck....

    Hi friend

    It is a wrong conception that you need to give CDS examination for becoming a IPS officer.

    IPS stands for Indian Police service.


    The entrance examination for it is conducted by UPSC and comes under civil services examination for which eligibility criteria is:

    Graduation from a recognised universityand if correspondence then it must approved by DEC( distance education council).

    your age should be between 21-30 years.

    For becoming IPS officer,you have to clear the three examinations with the given pattern:



    IF you belong to general category then you will get only four attempts for obc and sc/st it is 7 and no limit respectively.


    CDS is the Combined defence services.

    Those who aspire for joining defence can give these examinations for joining in

    ARMY

    NAVY

    AIRFORCE.


    Hope the information helps you.

    all the best

    Civil Services exams.
    >> The Civil Services exams are conducted annually by the UPSC.

    >> The exams are carried in three phases namely- Prelims , Mains & Interviews.
    >> Apart from recruiting candidates in IPS,the Civil Services also carry out enrolling the candidates in Indian Administrative Service,Indian Foreign Service,Indian Revenue Service,Indian Postal Service,Indian Railways and many other prestigious services.
