I work in a government organization. While filling personal history form, I selected "Government" as activity type. Now it is asking for following three additional things.
1. Name of the government department
I wrote the department's name
2. Name of the branch within the government department
I wrote the branch name.
3. Level of Government This is where I am stuck. What should I write in this field?
I'm an electronics engineer working in a government organization in Grade 18. My designation is "Manager". Please guide me what should I write in "Level of government"

I am a lecturer in a public sector university, and am therefore a government officer. Do I need to select "Government Position held" or it is to be selected by those who actually were in bureaucracy, judiciary or ministry etc? Thats pretty confusing, I must say.

Hi Omar, Could you please share what you eventually decided to select in the personal history section for your job as lecturer in public sector university? Many thanks.
That is what I did and wrote in letter of explanation to the clarification:
"XYZ university is a government university where I worked during XXXX-YYYY. Since the nature of job at XYZ University does not fell under the examples such as civil servant, police officer, employee in a security organization (listed in e-application form), therefore I mentioned the activity type at XYZ university as “employment” instead of “Government”."
I hope it is helpful. All the best.

Hi Mohsin, Thank you very much for your answer. Just wondering, did you later change your mind and did what you have described above, after you posted the following reply in July 10 2018:
I initially filled using government but during proof reading and just before submission I changed to employment and wrote explanation in letter of explanation. I did it because examples of government employee are clearly related to civil servant or security as you may also read in system.
Last night before replying to your message, I opened the letter or explanation that i submitted and copied the relevant statement for you.
In my understanding, you can choose either one i.e. governemnt or employment and later give explanation. However, I feel it is better to state employment and give explanation why choose employment. My feeling is that writing goverment in system may lead to additional security checks.
The process is stressful but keep going. All the best.
P.S. I will delete my previous response. it may be confusing others...

Hi Mohsin, Thanks a lot for replying and for taking the trouble to check your LoE.
I think I'll also do the same, select employment and explain in LoE.
Hi @Mohsin.S - One more question: Do you by any chance remember how you answered this question under Personal History > Personal Activities?
Have you listed all of [applicant's name] periods of military service or government positions (if any), and all of the organizations that [applicant's name] belongs to (if any)? (required)
The options are: Yes / No / Not Applicable
I'm confused between Yes and Not Applicable.
I've gone through multiple threads on the same issue, and there's a ton of confusion about the interpretation of this question. Will really appreciate any feedback ... thanks.

The Answer is "Yes" This is a declaration that you have disclosed all the all the activities.
Even if military or government does not apply to you but all of the organizations (companies you worked/working) is still applicable.
So the answer is "Yes"
