Government jobs still hold the sway, says survey

While jobs in the Information Technology and e-commerce sectors still attract many, the shine of jobs in the government sector, however, still has not waned, judging by the enrolments for various online courses for the government appointments.

Takers in metros
A survey released by Career Power, a exam preparatory portal for government and banking exams, has found that several thousands in metropolitan cities still aspire for government jobs.

The survey is based on the enrolments received by the portal for its various courses.
In Bengaluru for example, 37,95,903 people have enrolled for coaching programmes thus representing the high level of
interest.

This, however, is still not as high as in other cities. As many as 40,85,658 aspirants have enrolled for coaching for the various government appointments in Karnataka.
