2. Entering a government post is a dream for many faculties, but
given that only the fraction of people are actually getting into it
and living their dreams. There are many private universities
which are paying their faculties good salary along with great
perks, but many faculties especially still prefers government
post more than working in these private universities.
Both Private and Government jobs have their own pros and
cons; it depends on you to make the choice. The obvious argu-
ment is that these private universities pay more and govern-
ment jobs are more secure. However, this is not all. Let’s look at
this comparison with some in-depth analysis.
Competitive
The aspiration for a government posts is affecting the progres-
sive growth of these faculties because it results in precious time
of these faculties spent on something which has a very low
chance of giving returns. The selection rate for
these exams is less than 1%, and the majority of
the faculties talking these NET/SET qualifying
exams are between 22-57 years of age.
Job security
In a private sector, due to the industry and corpo-
rate needs, their expectations are bit higher. Re-
cent years and during recession, private institu-
tions fire most faculties to cut down their salary
costs. You cannot ensure that your job will be
there after five years. The insecure feeling in
these self-financing colleges attracts these facul-
ties for government positions, but government
posts are relatively more stable. Faculties are fired only if there
are some activities that are completely unacceptable. Faculties
thus feel more secure and can plan their future better with a
government job.
Retirement policy
Government posts ensure that the teacher’s future is secured
even after retirement as opposed to self-financing institutions.
With a self-financing college, a faculty needs to plan and take
care of his or her future after retirement. The new pension
scheme ensures that a Teachers’ lifestyle & standard is main-
tained after retirement and also provide benefits like stay or
medical benefits to teachers even after their retirement.
Transfer
Government posts have good transfer policies for teachers. A
Teacher can get transfer to a new place while working in a gov-
ernment college, where this is not possible in self-financing
institution. This flexibility is helpful for teachers looking to relo-
cate to place where their parents are or relocation after mar-
riage.
Holidays
Government posts have more holidays than private institutions.
In India, government colleges declare holidays for almost all
festivals but private institutions do it in a very restricted man-
ner. While few institutions have optional holidays, few others
have limited numbers like 10 holidays in a year. Also, if you are
working for a minority institutions, you will not have all festi-
val holidays. In this case, government posts allow you to enjoy
most of the festivals you celebrate without affecting your
leaves.
Leave benefits
Government posts offer better leave policy as compared to
private institutions. The number of leaves and types of
leaves are more in government colleges. Also, approval of
leaves is more flexible and employee-friendly than private
institutions. In most of the private institutions, you will be
assigned with not more than 10 leaves in a year. The ap-
proval of leaves also depends on the work load and avail-
ability of substitutes.
Work life balance
While government posts have fixed working hours and also
have shorter working hours as compared to private institu-
tions. Most of the government colleges have 7 hours of
working while private colleges mostly have 9 working hour
rule. Also, the number of login hours is stringent unlike gov-
ernment colleges. A government teacher thus can
have enough hours at home and time to spend
with loved ones.
Limited Work hours
In IT companies, when there are situations where
you cannot physically be present at office, you
can request and choose to work from home. But,
today many private university teachers do this,
not that not going to their institution but once
coming back from their institution they are still
logged in to do other academic activities. These
things are not encouraged among government
teachers.
Salary and promotions
Though some private institutions pay more, government
posts offer various incentives along with salary; many pro-
vide quarters, transportation cost, medical facilities etc.
Also, there are various allowances offered to government
teachers. Thus, if you include all the other benefits that come
with a government post, the difference in salary might not
seem that huge.
In the self-financing institutions, you get regular appraisals
and promotions as per your performance. On the other
hand, in the government colleges, promotions are based on
various criteria like years of experience, specific achieve-
ment etc. But unlike private institution, as promotions come
with a gap in government post, the raise that an employee
gets is significant.
Work stress
As compared to self-financing institution, the stress level for
work is lesser in government sector. This is because the gov-
ernment posts work towards long-term goals and the work
pressure mostly varies depending on time like end of aca-
demic year, elections etc. On the other hand, self-financing
post majorly focuses on short-term goals, inspection dead-
lines, etc.. At times, these deadlines can add up to a faculties
stress level.
These are some of the striking differences between govern-
ment and private job. Now, it’s up to you to make the
choice. There are advantages and disadvantages of both
private and government job, you cannot make progress
without making decisions. Whatever is the choice, it is im-
portant that you make an informed decision.
