    In order to join the Indian police, a student in college needs at least a bachelor's degree from a recognised university with a minimum of 45% marks.

    The age limit generally is 21 years to 32 years, with some relaxations for SC/ST/OBC candidates. The physical parameters include 165-170 cm for men and 150-157 cm for women regarding height with endurance tests, such as 1600 m in 6-7 minutes. The candidate has to clear competitive exams such as the UPSC CSE for IPS ranks or state-level exams for constable/sub-inspector ranks, followed by an interview and medical checks. Indian citizenship and no criminal record are mandatory.
