You can apply for this exam through online or offline by UPSC examination. For more details about IPS exam please visit: www.upsc.gov.in
Dear Aspirant,
In my observation, majority of the students aiming for IPS or IAS are from Arts background.
Therefore, you being from Arts background, definitely stand a chance to be an IPS.
Eligibility wise too, there is no problem at all if you are an Arts graduate.
Hope you have chosen IPS field after good amount of serious and sincere thinking and after consulting with your parents and those who are concerned about you. IPS is definitely challenging with a sense of work for the nation. We definitely need good and performing IPS officers.
I would suggest, you should enrol yourself in a competitive exam coaching class for IPS, since it will help you to focus, practice and you will be guided for success in the toughest exam in India.
Best wishes
Hi There,
The above counselors have beautifully explained the criteria for UPSC Exams.
I just would like to help you in terms of its preparations.
Please note that reading is a must. Read everything you can get your hands onto. Right from politics to history to literature etc,.
But just reading is not enough, being able to express it is equally important. So get into the group discussion mode, with friends, family and or teachers.
Being witty and diplomatic is also important followed by logic, your logic and stick to your point only. Do not change your stand when cross questioned.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good luck...
