There is a huge difference in both the exams. UPSC is conducted by Union Public Service Commission for Grade A officer post and SSC is conducted by Staff Service Commission for Grade B post in central government. The competition is high in UPSC because approximately only 800 -850 posts are there and in SSC only 4500-5000 posts.
