Why Govt Job?

If you are a student about to graduate and have been reading stories on job losses every day, you probably are worried. But there are multiple reasons for you not to, as opportunities still exist, if you know where to look. With the sixth pay commission tipping the scales, the public sector comes with the added advantage of job security.

An indicator of the popularity of government jobs is the number of subscribers to the blog ‘Sarkari Naukri’ (http://sarkari-naukri.blogspot.com), which lists government jobs in India from Central and State governments, public sector units, courts, universities and banks. It is nearing 50,000, says Manisha Sharma, who runs the blog.

The blog categorises the job listings under different categories such as Faculty/Teacher Jobs, Latest Bank Jobs in India, and IT and Engineering Jobs in India. Most jobs nowadays are for engineers, management trainees, she says. Finance and HR are popular areas, she adds.

A 31-year-old homemaker, she started the blog in June 2006 and spends five to six hours online every day updating the information. “My family members and I missed many good opportunities due to lack of timely information. So, I thought there should be a place where all government job-related information is available,” she says.

Civil Services Aptitude Test ( CSAT ) : New Scheme From 2011

The government will soon come out with a detailed syllabus of the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) -- a new scheme of examination, which is to replace the existing Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination from 2011. The test is meant for shortlisting candidates for the CS (Main) Examination, being conducted every year to recruit officers in IAS, IFS, IPS and other elite central services. 

The Centre had in March approved the proposal for introduction of CSAT in place of CS (Preliminary) from next year, and subsequently asked the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to work out its syllabus. 

"The government will shortly notify the new scheme of examination giving details of the syllabus which is being worked out. CSAT is expected to come into force from the Civil Services Examination, 2011", said the minister of state for personnel Prithviraj Chavan.
