Dear Kumar,

As you are already working under Central Government and are interested to pursue your carrier in the Library and Information Science, so you can do one thing, keep on applying for the job in Library and Information Science. Whenever you will get a permanent job in LIS field that satisfy you (in terms of salary, convenient location and other parameter of your choice), you can think of leaving your postal job and join the Library.

You have not mention your state, however from your profile information, I came to know that you are from Bihar and to be frank I dont have a clear picture of Bihar for the NET qualified candidates. However it is true that the NET qualified candidates are increasing day by day and now there is stiff competition among the NET qualified candidates to get a job of UGC/AICTE pay structure. The UGC and AICTE pay structure are lucrative.

As you dont have experiences in LIS field so it will be better if you engaged yourself or get an idea by sparing your leisure time of postal department in Library. In general, most of the institute hesitate to recruit the people in library who dont have sufficient practical knowledge.

Dear Sir,

universities are just throwing degrees of B Lib and M Lib Science in India without contributing to quality and standards. Because of this there is a considerable amount of unemployment  in this fields.You can judge salary status and importance of private librarians if you can keep watch on LIS links for few months, If you could get job in government sector than it is good otherwise there exists no perspective of pvt librarians in India. And that is what I've felt during my last 10 years service period, even though having passed B Lib, M Lib and other short courses from NISCAIR.
