Comparing two completely different examinations is not appropriate. But if you want to realize then you have to realize the aim of the examination. In banking exams, naturally the authority will try to check the mental aptitude you have in calculating and how fast you are in doing that business. Where as UPSC mainly tests the decision making ability as well as interpreting a problem in a unique way. So both the examination demands in general different characteristics in a student. So both the examination will have difficulty in its own way. Now you may have got the result that UPSC is tougher. Many people say that because UPSC asks comprehensive papers which needs more time to coup up. But I think all the exams are equally complicated and carry its own challenges. So don't bother with all this stuffs and just focus on the path you want to go in.

I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
