    Re: What should I do to become an IPS? I am now pursuing BBA.

    Hey friend,
    If you really wanna become an IPS officer then you have to first complete your graduation with 60% min. marks.
    Then you can apply for this exam.
    after that you have to select two subject for the subjective exam.
    But you cann't choose BBA subjects . you have to choose bsc, b.com,art in kind of course graduation subject.
    Regular exercise is the good Idea for the exam prepartion .
    And also try to communicate with the people in english and read newspaper and GK books regular .
    I hope it will helpful for you.
    GOOD LUCK

    Re: What should I do to become an IPS? I am now pursuing BBA.

    Dear friend,

    IPS stands for Indian police Officer.

    Exam for this is Civil services is only conducted by UPSC.

    Its the right time for your preparation.

    As you are pursuing BBA so I would suggest you to complete your preparation during these 3 yrs of your graduation.

    It would be better If you start your preparation from the first year only as you would be having enough time to clear your concepts.

    If you do not find comfortable in studying yourself you can join some one of the good coaching Institutes.

    They will provide you a correct guidance and path to your success.

    Their regular tests will show your strong and weak points according to whicg you can work upon the weak areas more.

    Now when you complete your graduation or when you will be in your last year you apply for the exam for that present year.

    You can see notification of exam from the official website of UPSC or other sources like newspaper or employment news.

    Fill the application form and then sit for the exam with full preparation.

    See you have limited no. of attempts for the examination So I would like you to remind you to clear the exam in those attempts only.

    Here are the no. of attempts category wise:

    GENERAL- You can give 4 times

    OBC- you can give 7 times

    SC/ST- no limitation
