Education and Career Forum

Sir/Mam,

I m a b.sc first year student and interested in career in biology. What should I do to get a government job and what are the other options available and employment opportunities? Is it really possible to get the job after completion of the course or not?

Definitely it is possible to get a government job after completion of your B.Sc in Biology because not only in your biology field but also in other fields, a lot of jobs available in government sector and you may find jobs in other fields more than that of biology field that is why you must not worry and just focus on your graduation course and try to secure higher percentage marks because some of the jobs are there, which requires higher percentage marks and candidates having good percentile are preferred first for the job so do hard work then apply for jobs.

After B.Sc in Biology, you will be eligible to apply for these jobs :

Bank PO and Bank Clerk jobs : A graduate can apply for both of these jobs in Nationalized Banks including Regional Rural Banks and may become Officer/ clerk in the bank after graduation. Your age should also be between 20-28 years for clerk post and maximum 30 years for the post of PO.

Insurance and Financial sector - Assistant Administrative Officer and Assistant jobs :

You can apply for AAO post after your graduation but based on your 12th qualification, you are still eligible to apply for assistant post in various nationalized insurance and financial companies like - LIC/ UIIC/ NICL etc.

Indian Railways jobs : You can apply for ASM/ Sub Inspector/ Controller and other jobs after your graduation but still you are also eligible for other jobs in railway department which are :

Group C and D jobs of clerk/ junior clerk, announcer, Ticket collector, Goods Guard etc.

SSC Combined Graduate Level and Sub Inspector recruitment examination : A candidate having passed in graduation or pursuing final year of degree is eligible to apply for this job but his/her age should be minimum 18 years and maximum 27 years.

You can apply for SSC Combined Higher Secondary Level LDC and DEO post on 12th basis so you must apply for this job now and get idea of examination and prepare well.

I would finally like to suggest you that with your degree course, you must join a coaching center to prepare for various government jobs exams because at the present time, it is quite tough to get a good government job that is why I suggest you that if you do so then it will not take a long time for you to get a job with your degree and nothing can be better than this and start giving at least 2 hours daily from now for your preparation.
