Zaroori: Fraud se bacho
UPSC ke naam pe kai fraud coaching centres aur agents guarantee dete hain — yeh sab fraud hai. UPSC application sirf upsc.gov.in pe free (ya ₹100 fee) mein hoti hai. Koi bhi ₹50,000+ coaching fees leke guarantee de toh woh fraud hai.
Sahi direction mein mehnat karo — random padhai se selection nahi hoga
IPS ke liye alag exam nahi — Civil Services hi crack karo, service allocation rank se hoti hai
Physical fitness maintain karo — IPS training mein strict physical standards hote hain
Law aur Constitution strong rakho — policing mein CrPC, IPC, Evidence Act roz kaam aata hai
Leadership aur decision-making skills develop karo — interview mein personality key hai
State Police Services (PCS) bhi dena consider karo — DSP se promotion by DPC se IPS mil sakti hai
Daily current affairs — law & order, crime, national security pe focus karo
IPS ek All India Service hai — UPSC Civil Services se milti hai. IPS officer pan-India posting pe jaate hain (SP, SSP, IG, DGP positions). State Police Service (SPS) State PSC se milti hai — DSP/DySP level se entry. SPS officers apne state mein hi limited hote hain unless DPC se IPS promotion mile. IPS mein zyada power, prestige aur central deputation ke options hote hain.
UPSC Civil Services mein koi physical test nahi hota — sirf Medical test hota hai. Medical standards: Height 165 cm (male UR), 150 cm (female UR); Chest 84 cm (male); Eyesight 6/6 ya correctible. IPS training (SVPNPA) mein physical fitness drills hoti hain — running, obstacle course, etc. Basic fitness maintain karna achha hai lekin exam ke liye koi physical test nahi.
