Both the UPSC and the Tamil Nadu PSC are government exams used to choose civil servants for a variety of departments.
1. Service type: The UPSC is a central recruitment body that conducts exams for all India-level services. The Tamil Nadu PSC is a state-level exam for Tamil Nadu for state services. The following is the distinction between these exams:
2. Attempt limit: There is no restriction on the number of attempts in TNPSC, whereas UPSC has age as well as attempt limits up to six attempts.
3. Post: The UPSC exam is for central posts such as IAS IPS, and IRS. The TNPSC exam is for district collectors, registrars, and assistant commissioners in Tamil Nadu.
4. Frequency: The Tamil Nadu PSC exams are conducted based on the availability of vacancies in the state at multiple levels. UPSC on the other hand, is an annual exam.
5. Nature of questions: The UPSC usually asks concept-based questions in the preliminary as well as the main stages. The Tamil Nadu PSC usually asks fact-based questions. Also, in UPSC Mains, there are nine papers, but Tamil Nadu PSC has three main papers in Group 1.

It depends on the aspirants' aptitude and interest. Due to the general nature of the syllabus, some candidates find the TNPSC exam to be simple. The TNPSC contains questions from a variety of subjects, but the difficulty level is low. On the other hand, the quantitative and reasoning questions on banking exams are typically of a high level of difficulty. TNPSC is therefore simple for someone with a background in the humanities, while banking is challenging. The banking exam is simpler for people who have a solid background in math and a solid command of quantitative concepts. Additionally, unlike most banking exams, the TNPSC exam does not have negative marking, which makes it simpler to score with less preparation. In contrast, studying for banking exams takes less time and more practice. The Tamil Nadu PSC exam process takes a little bit longer than bank exams like the IBPS PO. Hence, you can choose any exam depending on your career preference.
