The Union Public service Commission (UPSC) exam is counted among the toughest exams in the country. Every year lakhs of candidates appear in it, but only a few are able to succeed on the basis of exam and interview. Candidates who pass the exam dream of becoming IAS, IFS or IPS. But on the basis of rank, it is decided which candidate will get a chance to go to which service. You must have heard a lot about the training of IAS and IPS. Let us know today where their training takes place.
Where do IPS and IAS get trained?
Whenever a candidate passes the UPSC exam and chooses IPS or IAS, first of all he has to go to Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie (LBSNAA) for training. IPS training is divided into four parts, which are Foundation Course, Phase 1 Training, district Practical Training and Phase 2 Training. The training locations of all the four phases are different. Foundation Course is held in LBSNAA. Here fresh recruits of Central Services (Group A) of All India services are prepared. This is a three-month training, after which the training of IAS and IPS becomes separate.
How is the training done?
After this, the next stage of IPS training is IPS Training Centre. This centre is Sardar Vallabh Bhai patel National police Academy, Hyderabad. This is a premium institute for IPS trainees. After 11 months of rigorous training here, these trainees are allotted cadre to perform their duty and are sent there. There they undergo physical training and are fully prepared for the future. IAS officers are trained physically and mentally in LBSNAA.
