About Prasar Bharati
Prasar Bharati is India’s public service broadcaster, operating Akashvani (All India Radio) and Doordarshan (DD) stations across the country. Its Sales Division handles commercial revenue for these stations, and this recruitment aims to strengthen that team with dedicated field sales staff at individual stations and sales divisions.

Local context / how it compares
Of the 16 locations in this recruitment, DD Kolkata is the only one directly relevant to West Bengal candidates, with one post open there. The remaining posts are spread from Leh in the north to Tiruchirapalli in the south, and Rajkot in the west to Vijayawada in the east — none of the 16 stations lies in North Bengal, Sikkim or the North East, so candidates from Darjeeling, Siliguri or Sikkim would need to relocate for any of these postings. Compared to typical government sales roles, this position runs on a fixed two-year contract with defined revenue targets rather than a permanent cadre appointment — a structure closer to media and PSU sales hiring than administrative government service.

Should you apply?
This role suits candidates who already hold an MBA or PG Diploma in Marketing and have direct sales experience, and who want to work in media sales for a public broadcaster — the notice sets a hard one-year direct-sales requirement with no exceptions stated, so fresh postgraduates without sales experience are unlikely to qualify. The consolidated pay of Rs. 35,000–42,000 a month (up to Rs. 50,000 in Metro Cities) sits below typical private-sector MBA sales packages, but the role carries the affiliation of a government body and a defined two-year contract rather than a private-sector probation period. The trade-off is job security: this is a purely contractual engagement with no claim to absorption or pensionary benefit, and either side can end it with one month’s notice or one month’s salary in lieu, without assigning any reason. Candidates unwilling to relocate to one of the 16 listed stations, or unwilling to work in a fully target-driven sales role, should weigh this before applying.
