The Civil Services Examination is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to recruit officers for services like IAS, IPS, and IFS. It is a national-level exam held every year.

To apply, you must have a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university and meet the age and nationality conditions mentioned in the UPSC rules. The exam has three stages – the Preliminary exam, the Main exam, and the Interview.

If you score high and get selected for IPS, you will be trained at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy before your posting.
