Hi Bharath,

I appreciate you for your dream of becoming a public service officer. Coming to your question the minimum criteria to become a police officer is that you should have a bachelor degree from any recognized college.so after 10th you can join any course which provides you with a bachelor degree. After achieving the degree you have to appear for the UPSC exam to become an IPS officer.

In case if you want to join the police department as a constable then passing the 12th is the only criteria . You need not appear for UPSC.

Hope this will be helpful for you.

Thank you.

Hello Bharath,

I'm happy that you have decided your further plans and career. So for going in police line.

You can start preparing for upsc civil service exam to become a grade A officer.

There is one more exam spsc ( state level) ,here you can become level B officer and get promoted to become IPS also. This is for becoming SP or ACP basically.

So now focus on your 11 and 12 get a bachelor's degree and prepare for these exams. Still you are very young but determined so it is a plus point for you . Go ahead

Hey Bharath,

First of all I appreciate your will to become a police because only few of us are having such a brave heart. Now coming to your question then you should start gaining some extra knowlegde of general knowlegde and current affairs because in any kind of compettetive exmas g.k is very important. Moreover, UPSE/NDA and many more are the exams through which you would become a police officer or army officer. Best of luck for your future.

Thank you.
