One of the most respected and well paid jobs in the Indian government is undoubtedly Civil services.

These jobs form the steel frame of the Indian administration.

Those who want to join the civil services have to clear the UPSC exam, which is held every year.

Jobs in public sector undertakings or PSUs such as Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), ONGC, NTPC limited, GAIL, MTNL etc are really very good options. The public sector undertakings provide their employees with numerous benefits apart from good salary. Moreover, the work pressure is not too much in this sector.

For example - Andhra Pradesh public service commission, Arunachal Pradesh public service commission, Bihar public service commission invites application for several posts, time to time. Many state government jobs like RTO, MRO are paid very well and come with added benefits like official residence, medical facilities.

Defence Services - Army, Navy, Coast guard:

This job provides an aspirant with the opportunity to enter into the Indian Navy, Army and Air Force. Good pay, official government residence, medical facilities are some of the benefits provided by this job.

In addition, the working timings are also lesser in colleges and universities as compared to other government jobs. So what else you want.  After completing your masters you can become a university professor or lecturer by just clearing the UGC NET Exams, conducted twice a year – June and December.

Railway Engineers:

India has many students with an engineering degree. But due to lack of correct guidance and knowledge these people don’t know which sector is best for them. If you have done engineering then you must give a thought of becoming a railway engineer and be a part of Indian Railways. Railway engineers enjoy many things like – free travelling, good residence and excellent pay provided by the government of India.

Bank Jobs:

Banks are almost in every small and big part of the country. It is one of the most wanted jobs in the country.

And to work in such reputed government hospitals itself, is an honour.  Government doctors get good salary and also a genuine opportunity to serve the poor.  The job demand of doctors in both private as well government sector is very high.

Scientists:

Scientists are the people who bring changes for welfare of the people and the country on the whole. ISRO, DRDO are some of the respected and well-known institutions which are run by government scientists. The salary of a government scientist is either equivalent or sometimes even better than the private ones. Perks like individual houses for accommodation, medical insurance etc are some of the benefits associated with this particular job. The work pressure no doubt is little high as the job is very much demanding. But the benefits they get are all worth it.

Last but not the least, jobs in insurance sector like the LIC, GIC etc are also very well-paid. Life Insurance Corporation or General Insurance Corporation of India generally recruits people for positions like AAO, ADO, SO and so on.  The salary they offer is well in proportion to the perks provided.
