University is also offering few positions to Ph.D. students to work as Instructors/ Lecturer/ Teaching Assistant at the same time. Though you are a Government Employee, you need not to get your job into trouble in order to secure a doctorate level education. You can proceed with the programme in Part Time Mode.
