The craze about the
government jobs is back with a bang with the introduction of new salary
packages in the government jobs of India. A handsome salary package and
benefits are the part of the government jobs, leaving apart the job security
that such jobs ensure.
Since the job market of India has taken a roller coaster
ride after recession, it was required by the companies to create vacancies that
could help the country to boost its economy. Scenario of the job industry has
undoubtedly changed in past few years with various multinational companies starting
up their businesses in metropolitan cities. This has also diversified the
educational systems of India, and now students are prepared with an outlook to
work with the multinational companies, or even abroad.
Still, there is a craze among people left for the govt. jobs.
A number of people are too interested to work with the government agencies,
thanks to the benefits offered by them, and the persuasion of the parents who
want their children to take up the government jobs. A range of job
opportunities are available with ministries, government bodies, public sector
units (PSU), research and development institutes, government hospitals and
other undertakings.
Services
Getting a central government job is as hectic as ever as it
requires the candidates to clear the competitive examinations conducted by the
Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The UPSC advertises the jobs in the
employment news and other portals related to the government jobs. UPSC is
responsible for hiring candidates in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS),
Indian Foreign Services (IFS), Indian Police Services (IPS), Indian Engineering
Services (IES) and other domains.
Staff selection commission (SSC) also conducts exams for
recruiting candidates at various levels in different sectors like Forestry,
Economics, Armed Forces, Railways, Revenues, Customs, Audit & Accounts, and
many more. There are also a number of government agencies and public sector
units as well as ministries, which recruit candidates for the particular
positions and they follow a different protocol for that.
State government jobs
The State Public Commissions also keep on posting regular
advertisements for the positions within the state government agencies. There are numerous government agencies being
operating at the state levels. The jobs are available at almost every level and
for each work level, the jobs are posted in different advertisements. However,
different positions are advertised under the same column, but there are
different headings for different positions, and this way, the ideal jobs
suiting the eligibility criteria of the candidates can be found out.
In addition, there are appositions
available at the sub-ordinate levels that are published by the Subordinate
services board of the state governments. The matter of the fact is that these
jobs are contract based that does not fit in the criteria of job stability.
Teaching
Another sector that has gained a lot of popularity in the
recent years is the teaching sector that has never seen a downward trend. A
respectable position, good salary, easy timing and a significant number of
leaves have been some of the aspects of the government teaching jobs, which
make it very alluring among the young females.
To start up as a government teacher in schools, the
candidate needs to have at least a graduate degree from a reputed university
and a degree in B.Ed. However, to teach in the colleges, the candidates must
have a postgraduate degree or a PhD degree, and an essential national
eligibility test (NET) score, which is conducted by University Grants
Commission (UGC).
Banking
Banking sector not exactly falls under the category of govt.
jobs, but being a public sector undertaking, the banking domain offers excellent
growth opportunities and attractive salary packages. The PSU banks conduct a
common examination through Institute of Banking Personnel Selection
(IBPS) that recruits staff at all levels, including officers and other
employees.
There are a number of job opportunities in the government
sector, it is just important to remain attentive about the openings, which are
published time to time.
How
to find such jobs!
The where about of these jobs can be found from the online
job portals, classifieds as well as the newspapers. Employment news is also a
good option to search the government jobs. A
number of positions in the government agencies wait for the suitable candidates
to come over and fill up the vacancies. Since the candidates are more inclined
towards earning more and more money, there has been popularity of private
sector jobs as they bring quick money and promotions.
The govt. jobs have
their own charm as they bring job security and other benefits with them after recruitment.
You would definitely not get the number of leaves in the private sector, as
being enjoyed by the government staff. Women are specially privileged in the
government sector specially, as they get special leaves to look after their family.
