What is the difference between UPSC and GPSC?

The Central Government runs UPSC. Gujarat State Government organizes GPSC. When it comes to state government jobs, GPSC is in charge of screening potential candidates. The Gujarat Public Service Commission establishes the GPSC Syllabus. Comparable to the UPSC exam, the GPSC exam will cover material on Gujarati history, culture, and geography. Here are a few more differences between both.
