To become an IPS Officer, you have to apply for the UPSC Civil services examination (upsc.gov.in). Eligibility for this examination is graduation in any stream.
This examination consists of three rounds: preliminary exam, then main exams and then the interview. In prelim exams, objective questions are asked from general studies and any one subject chosen by the candidate. Main exams consist of nine papers including English, any language included in eighth schedule of Indian Constitution, essay writing, general studies and two papers from two optional subjects.
These examinations require a thorough study of the subjects. So choose subjects of your interest; that way you will grasp the concepts easily and willingly spend more time studying.
