Postgraduates (OCES) and the DAE Graduate Fellowship Scheme (DGFS) for
engineering graduates and physics postgraduates. After an individual has
completed the three-stage training program, he/she is appointed as a group-A
Scientific Officer for the Government of India and paid a handsome salary.
Additionally, officers are also be offered other benefits such as leave travel
concession (LTC), medical facilities for himself/herself and his/her family,
allowance for children’s education and allowance for the professional update.
Moreover, DAE offers ample opportunities for higher education to its
employees. Officers who meet the minimum eligibility criteria can take up
PhD/MTech at Homi Bhabha National Institute, Deemed University, Mumbai.
There are various career opportunities in the field of nuclear science and
technology in DAE, which includes the illustrative career Research and
development (R&D) in the premier institutions like BARC Mumbai, Tata
Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) Mumbai, Indira Gandhi Centre for
Atomic Research (IGCAR) Kalpakkam Chennai, Raja Ramanna Centre for
Advanced Technology (RRCAT) Indore, Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre
(VECC) Kolkata, Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) (Kolkata),Tata
Memorial Centre (TMC)Mumbai, Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI)
Prayagraj (Allahabad), National Institute of Science Education and Research
(NISER) Odisha, Institute of Plasma Research (IPR) Gandhinagar, Gujarat,
Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership(GCNEP) Haryana, National
Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) Mumbai. Besides, one can pursue
careers in engineering & management in Atomic minerals directorate (AMD)
Hyderabad, Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC) (Hyderabad), Nuclear Power
Corporation of India (NPCIL), Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI),
Hyderabad and Uranium Corporation of India(UCIL), Jharkhand. There are
requirements of nuclear technocrats in other organizations as well, including
Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited
(BHAVINI) and other MNCs. Moreover, ample opportunities are also available
in academia in several reputed universities, including Indian Institute of Sciences
(IISc) and Indian Institute of Technology (IITs).
Nuclear Engineering follows the ethics and principle of nuclear physics,
and that is exactly what students study in their colleges, universities and research
institutions that offer courses in nuclear engineering. It is beneficial for people
who are keen to understand how nuclear fission works, along with the overall
functioning of nuclear reactors as well as other nuclear materials. Coursework
that will be offered by Academics includes but is not always limited to nuclear
waste disposal, nuclear proliferation, nuclear power plants and war weapons,
interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems. If you think you'll be
able to handle this - not because you're forced to do it, then opt for Nuclear
engineering; it certainly requires dedicated and stubborn, but in a right way,
students.
