CA Final is considered the most difficult where you have to study more to score good marks. Also, the syllabus at the Final level is vast and complex, requiring a deep and integrated understanding of advanced topics in accounting, auditing, taxation, and financial managemen. But it also depends on the individual based on their aptitude and interest.

UPSC exams is generally considered tougher due to its broader and more unpredictable syllabus, plus the intense competition for limited positions, and the subjective nature of the evaluation, testing not just knowledge but also analytical skills, articulation, and personality. CA is considered highly challenging within its specialised domain, demanding rigorous technical knowledge and consistent performance across multiple stages. However, it depends on the indvidual aptitude and field of interest at the end of the day. 

CA is tougher due to its longer duration, extensive syllabus covering diverse subjects, and the cumulative nature of the exams. JEE Main, while intensely competitive and requiring strong conceptual clarity, is a one-time entrance exam.

So in simple words, JEE Main's difficulty is based on high competition and intense pressure in a single exam, while CA's difficulty lies in its extensive syllabus, the need for consistentency across multiple stages over a longer period, and the relatively low pass rates at each level.

No, CA is not a government job, as becoming a Chartered Accountant is a professional qualification awarded by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), a statutory body established by an Act of Parliament.

You seem to be confused about the difficulty level of LLB and CA courses right? Nobody can tell you with surety which course is easier but rather you have to assess the same on the basis of your interests and passions. If you have this feeling that you're made for reading, interpretation, logical reasoning and argumentation, you might find LLB relatively easier and more fun to study.
But if you have a strong inclination towards numbers, financial analysis, problem solving with quantitative data and can dive into technical study, you might find CA more suited to your interests and hence easier than the LLB course.
