UPSC stands for Union Public Service Commission and as the name suggests it is a commission rather than a examination itself which conducts different examination for recruitment of personnel in various fields.

Further, in general UPSC examination is used to refer to the Civil Services examination which is conducted once every year by UPSC for recruitment of administrative officers such as IAS, IPS, IFS, etc. which I assume to be the case in your query too .
