Greetings, aspirant!
There are a plethora of exams that you can appear for to get a government job.
These would include UPSC Civil Services Examination which are a gateway to build a career in Civil services by being an IAS officer, IPS officer, IFS officer etc. These examinations are difficult to crack, but the pay off is worth it.
There are also a bunch of examination held by government bodies such as SBI, RBI, LIC etc when there are vacancies to hire individuals. These examinations are not easy either, but having a job in one of these institutions is as prestigious as it gets.
You can also opt to become a professor by appearing for examinations such as NET/SET. A government Institution professor gets a good pay compared to many other jobs for freshers.
In all fairness, there are many government jobs in India. In fact, Indian Railways is one of the largest employer organisations in the world. But there is an equal amount of competition to get a government job due to the many benefits it comes with.
But with enough hardwork and dedication, you can definitely land a really good and high profile job, irrespective of it being a government job or not.
Hope this information helps
Best of luck!!
