Q1 What is it like to work as Administrative officer (AO) in Public Sector

General Insurance Company in India ?

Ans : It totally depends on person to person and his/her background. A simple

graduate in commerce, arts, science, et al might find it very satisfying whereas a
graduate in specific field ( as in Engineering, Medical, Law, MBA Fin HR etc)
might find it frustrating AND VICE VERSA is possible, too.

Q2 What are the Career opportunities lie ahead ?

Ans:  Working at a Public sector insurance company level, opportunities as such

are in the form of Promotion only, which depends on various parameter just as
any other PSU , such as internal exam marks, seniority, CR, Certificate courses
etc.

Promotions are slow compared to that in banks.

Other than that, one can switch to Private companies but it's advisable only
when your insurance knowledge is very strong and you are a champion of at
least one department. In private companies, you can expect quick increase in
salary and also join good global companies provided you have a zest to do all
these.

Otherwise, apart from the above, life depends on which type of office you are
working in. There is one head office, GM office, Corporate office, Investment
Office, Regional Offices, Divisional Offices, Branch Offices, BCs MHs etc.

Now coming to the point of higher education :- there is no sabbatical leave i.e.,
you would need to leave the company if you take admission in a college for your
further education and also pay the bond.
Switching to other central or private Job is also possible.

The answer given above is a generalised answer and is not specific for the
question itself doesn't ask anything beyond that.

******************************************************************************

Q3 ''1 - What will happen to the four public sector general insurance companies
once the government kicks the disinvestment plans on ?''

Ans:- This is just to be clear ;-Disinvestment doesn't mean privatisation. It would

be privatisation If and only If government disinvests  and its share goes below
50%.

So, nothing as such a change in your company you will see as far as it's only
disinvestment and NOT privatisation.

Q4 ''2 - What are the chances of governement comes with the plan of merging all
Home Answer Notifications Search Quora Add Question
these four companies ? What are the consequences ?''
Ans : Chances are very less. They were all one company once upon a time, and
have been divided into four companies because of some reason which you will
know once you know or read about the history of Insurance sector in India.

Take a chill pill if still bothered about the consequence of a hypothetical

question.

Q5 ''3 - Is shifting to private sector is possible with much better pay and
allowances after working in Public sector for 4-5 years ?''

Ans: Yes. ( Refer to 2nd QnA)

Advice:

Join only if you :-

are Interested

have not been able to find other job (still in my opinion , AO> PO)

just want a job for the time being

do not have any other option

DO NOT join if

1. You still have other options available ( CAT, UPSC, RBI, GATE, and
other exams relevant to your field or the field you like)

2. You are very young ( 21-23) and because point no 1.
