× Of course, yes, I am working as an assistant professor in Chandigarh University, Mohali.
✓ Of course, yes, I work as an assistant professor at Chandigarh University, Mohali.
The question asks about the current occupation, which is a habitual or permanent state, so the simple present tense 'I work' is appropriate rather than the present continuous 'I am working'. Present continuous is used for temporary actions or actions happening right now.
× I work at Chandigarh University which is located in Mohali.
✓ I work at Chandigarh University, which is located in Mohali.
A comma is needed before 'which' to correctly separate the relative clause. Also, 'at' is correct for workplaces, so no change needed there.
× My works provide the all facilities and enhance the knowledge about the teaching skills.
✓ My work provides all the facilities and enhances knowledge about teaching skills.
'Works' should be singular 'work' as it refers to the job or duties. 'Provide' should be 'provides' to agree with singular subject. 'The all facilities' is incorrect; correct phrase is 'all the facilities'. 'Enhance' should be 'enhances' to agree with singular subject. 'The knowledge about the teaching skills' is better as 'knowledge about teaching skills' without 'the'.
× Yes, it is good place to work because this university provides the lot of opportunities to staff member and. And enhance the knowledge.
✓ Yes, it is a good place to work because this university provides a lot of opportunities to staff members and enhances knowledge.
'Good place' needs an article 'a'. 'The lot of opportunities' should be 'a lot of opportunities'. 'Staff member' should be plural 'staff members' to match 'opportunities'. The sentence fragment 'And enhance the knowledge' is incomplete; it should be connected and corrected to 'and enhances knowledge'.
× Would you like the place where you work?
✓ Do you like the place where you work?
The examiner's question is 'Would you like the place where you work?', which is slightly awkward. The student's answer is fine, but no correction needed here as it's the examiner's question.
× I would like to work in Chandigarh city which is located in Punjab.
✓ I would like to work in Chandigarh city, which is located in Punjab.
A comma is needed before 'which' to correctly separate the relative clause.
× It is well planned city with many job opportunities especially in the IT and Education centre.
✓ It is a well-planned city with many job opportunities, especially in the IT and education centres.
'Well planned' should be hyphenated as 'well-planned' when used as an adjective before a noun. 'City' needs an article 'a'. 'Education centre' should be plural 'education centres' to match 'many job opportunities'. Also, a comma is needed before 'especially'.
× I believe working there would help me grow professionally and enjoy a good quality of life.
✓ I believe that working there would help me grow professionally and enjoy a good quality of life.
Adding 'that' after 'believe' improves sentence clarity and formality.
× I plan to go abroad to pursue higher study specially post doctorate degree in reliability theory.
✓ I plan to go abroad to pursue higher studies, especially a postdoctoral degree in reliability theory.
'Higher study' should be plural 'higher studies'. 'Specially' should be 'especially'. 'Post doctorate degree' should be 'postdoctoral degree' as one word. Also, an article 'a' is needed before 'postdoctoral degree'.
× I believe that continuously enhancing my knowledge is important my career growth.
✓ I believe that continuously enhancing my knowledge is important for my career growth.
The preposition 'for' is needed before 'my career growth' to complete the meaning.
