Comparing two completely different examinations is not appropriate. But if you want to realize then you have to realize the aim of the examination. In banking exams, naturally the authority will try to check the mental aptitude you have in calculating and how fast you are in doing that business. Where as UPSC mainly tests the decision making ability as well as interpreting a problem in a unique way. So both the examination demands in general different characteristics in a student. So both the examination will have difficulty in its own way. Now you may have got the result that UPSC is tougher. Many people say that because UPSC asks comprehensive papers which needs more time to coup up. But I think all the exams are equally complicated and carry its own challenges. So don't bother with all this stuffs and just focus on the path you want to go in.

I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Hello,

Firstly in order to appear for UPSC exam candidates need to pass graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, there is no specific aggregate required in this case, you can apply even in the final year, and you need to attain 21 years as on 1st August of the appearing year, secondly if your question is if a degree in journalism and mass communication can help you in preparation of UPSC exam then the answer is no because the syllabus of UPSC is more humanities oriented, and hence having a graduation in subjects like political science, geography, history, law, public administration, economics to name a few helps tremendously, as there is considerable overlap with general studies and optional subjects, the only difference between aspirants belonging to humanities background and those who don't is simply is that the former is already well acquainted with the syllabus having studied the subjects at 10+2/graduation level however I want to emphasize that the eligibility criteria of UPSC CSE allows candidates from every stream to appear for the exam, and if you look at the list of toppers they come from diverse background such as medical, engineering, science, commerce etc, so there is no way why you cannot succeed with your choice of degree, eventually what matters is your focus, dedication and perseverance as these are the most important traits of any aspirant irrespective of the background they belong to academically, hence it's perfectly all right if you're interested in a career in journalism and mass communication, it's good to have a back plan up also,

Hello,

First of to become IAS, IPS, or IFS if you meant Indian Foreign Service as a designation will be assigned to you as per the rank you secure in UPSC exam, IAS is the topmost preferred post by candidates, as it offers diverse opportunities in terms of work than other job profile, anyway since you're still in graduation, first of all be acquainted with UPSC syllabus, learn it by heart, it's important to know what to read and what to skip as it's such an extensive syllabus, and then start reading newspaper on a daily basis, and this should continue till your day of interview as it has such importance, focus on news of national and international importance, economy, science and technology,  editorial, basically all the relevant details, and when it comes to study materials go through NCERT first as it will build your foundation strong, Some of the recommended books are as follows;

For Prelims, in case of History refer NCERT Class XI and XII/India's Struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra, For Indian Culture, refer art and culture by Nitin Singhania, for Geography  refer NCERT Class VI to XII/GC Leong's Physical Geography/World Atlas, for Economics  refer NCERT Class XI/Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, for International Relations & Polity ;NCERT XII Political Science with current affairs/Indian Polity by Laxmikanth, for CSAT ;Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning by RS Agarwal/M Tyra's Quicker Maths

For  Mains Exam, got through the following for four General Studies Paper;

GS I -  History , Class XI NCERT book with India's struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra,India after Independence by Bipan Chandra,History of Medieval India by Satish Chandra

In case of Geography refer World Geography and Geography of India by Majid Hussain, GC Leong's Physical and Human Geography with NCERT Class XI book.

For GS II - Polity and International Relations , refer Indian Polity by Lamikanth,India's Foreign Policy by Rajiv Sikri

For GS III - For Economics refer Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, read ARC report along with Economic Survey and Fiscal Budget.

For GS IV - For Ethics refer a book named Lexicon by Niraj Kumar, also you can go through study material of IGNOU.

Always remember to  keep your resources minimal, read one book many a times instead of many a book one time, revision is the key here as UPSC has got such humongous syllabus, hence it's important you revise regularly and refer limited books.

Go through previous year papers, and apply mock papers that's available in the sites exclusively dedicated to UPSC preparation, and practice answer writing in advance as writing mains is huge task, you can refer topper's answer sheets that is available online in few of the sites.
