What is a LIC DSE job: Direct Sales Executives (DSE) in LIC are contractual jobs, appointed for a period of 3 years. At the end of the 3 year term, the contract may be extended further, depending on your performance. The job involves marketing LIC polices – selling new polices as well as servicing existing ones and hence needs extensive travelling.
Some people confuse LIC DSE jobs with LIC Agents job – however the two are completely different, the only similarity is the contractual nature of both the jobs and that both markets LIC policies.

The minimum educational qualification required for LIC agents is only Class-XII while for LIC DSE jobs you need to be a graduate. Also, while you get paid in commission basis (without any fixed salary) as an LIC agent, there is a minimum monthly salary for LIC DSE jobs – at present it is around Rs. 25,000/per month.
