Hi Anukriti,
These are two different courses. UPSC is a different set of ball game altogether. It requires utter patience and hardwork to clear UPSC exam. Becoming a RJ is not an easy job. You must have some basic qualities within you like the ability to talk on multiple topics simultaneously, talk with sense of humor, talk sensibly etc. But above all you must have a passion for radio jockeying.
But these are the raw materials you need to have for becoming an RJ. With these you have to process them for the final output. This process is training. Training for different skills required in practical life of a RJ. These skills includes soft skill, talking style, handling the listeners etc. And you also need a certificate from a reputed RJ training institute to prove your quality.
So, I hope you can understand that becoming an RJ is not an easy job. But if you try with passion then it is easier for you.
All the best.
