The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts the prestigious IAS Exam every year. The IAS Exam is the common entry point for 20-odd Group A and Group B services.Similarly, the State Public Service Commission’s conduct recruitment exams which act as an entry point for coveted services in the state administration. Every Public Service Commission has its own website, exam pattern, eligibility conditions and syllabus. However, broadly speaking, there is a significant overlap between PSC Exams and UPSC Exam. The pragmatic approach for civil service aspirants is to prepare for state PSC exams and UPSC simultaneously.
