BARC-OECS/DGFS
Recruitment of Scientific Officers in the Department of Atomic Energy
(Group-A Post of Government of India)
For candidates of Engineering and Science Disciplines
BARC has active groups for Research and Development in Reactor Technologies, Fuel reprocessing and waste management, Isotope Applications, Radiation Technologies and their application to health, agriculture and environment, Accelerator and Laser Technology, Electronics, instrumentation and reactor control and Materials Science. Strong emphasis on basic and applied research in a number of core disciplines of Science has made synergy between basic research and technology development possible.
BARC Training Schools provide Two Training Schemes to deserving candidates ambitious of pursuing a rewarding career in Nuclear Science, Engineering and Technology
A. who would relish challenges in frontier areas of Science & Technology,
B. who would like to be part of an expanding program of Nuclear Power / Research Reactors, Accelerators and Nuclear Fuel Cycle Technologies, and
C. who would enjoy pursuing innovative research in frontier areas of Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biosciences and Geology.
They are called Orientation Course for Engineering Graduates and Science Postgraduates (OCES) and DAE Graduate Fellowship Scheme for Engineering Graduates (DGFS) respectively.
Training scheme 1
One-year Orientation Course for Engineering Graduates and Science Postgraduates for OCES will be conducted at the five BARC Training Schools situated at Mumbai, Kalpakkam, Kolkata, Indore and Hyderabad. A Trainee Scientific Officer (TSO), who scores a minimum of 50% aggregate marks on completion of the Training Programme, is declared to have passed the course successfully. Successful TSOs will be posted as Scientific Officers in one of the DAE units:
SI. No | DAE Unit |
1 | Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai |
2 | Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam |
3 | Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore |
4 | Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC), Kolkata |
5 | Heavy Water Board (HWB), Mumbai |
6 | Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC), Hyderabad |
7 | Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT), Mumbai |
8 | Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL), Mumbai |
9 | Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Ltd (BHAVINI), Kalpakkam |
10 | Uranium Corporation of India Ltd (UCIL), Jaduguda |
11 | Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration & Research (AMD), Hyderabad |
12 | Directorate of Construction, Services & Estate Management (DCSEM), Mumbai |
Training scheme 2
Two-year DAE Graduate Fellowship Scheme for Engineering Graduates for that year academic session. Under this scheme, Engineering Graduates who have excelled in the Selection Interviews for the BARC Training Schools’ programmes and who have also independently secured admission for M. Tech. in select Institutes and specializations as listed by BARC, in the same academic year in which they are selected for OCES are paid stipend and tuition fee to pursue a M. Tech. degree while retaining their employment in DAE.
After successful completion of one-year course work at the Institute, DGFS Fellows undertake project work, which is assigned by DAE and supervised jointly by a DAE and the DGFS Institute guide. On successful completion of M. Tech. DGFS Fellows are posted as Scientific Officers in DAE. Appointment in DAE units shall be as a Group “A” Gazetted Officer of the Government of India.
On joining, they are required to first undertake a four-month Orientation Course for DGFS Fellows (OCDF) at the BARC Training School, Mumbai. The placement** of the DGFS Fellows on successful completion of DGFS programme will only be at BARC (in case of Fellows who complete their M.Tech. at IIT Bombay) and IGCAR (in case of Fellows who complete their M. Tech. at IIT Madras). **Placement can be at any of the BARC facilities located in different parts of India. Allocation of a DGFS Fellow to a DAE unit is done at the beginning of the M. Tech. programme based on the needs of DAE’s programmes and their Selection Interview merit.
Stipend and Allowances during Training:
OCES TSOs are paid a stipend of ₹ 55,000 per month during the period of their Training and a one- time book allowance of ₹ 18,000.
DGFS Fellows are paid a stipend of ₹ 55,000 per month for two years and reimbursed the tuition fee for M.Tech. and are additionally paid a one-time Contingency Grant of ₹ 40,000 per annum for 2 years to meet M.Tech. project related expenses. Boarding and Lodging in DAE Hostel is mandatory for OCES TSOs during the Training period. Boarding and lodging in DGFS Institute hostel is mandatory for DGFS Fellows during M. Tech. programme
