DRDO SET 2009 Exam: Notification, Eligibility & Forms

April 27, 2009

DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) conducts Scientist Entry Test (SET) every year in the first Sunday of September for recruitment of brightest engineering minds of India in DRDO. Like other years too, DRDO has just issued notification for SET 2009 exam for recruitment of 220 Scientist-B positions.

Purpose of this blog post is to summarize the above DRDO SET-2009 Notification while the subsequent blog post would give you the study materials for DRDO SET-2009: Exam pattern, Sample papers & Books.

But before that, let us know what is DRDO.

What is DRDO
DRDO is one of the most respected Govt. organizations in India. It was formed in 1958 and at present has a network of 51 laboratories which are deeply engaged in developing defence technologies covering various disciplines, like aeronautics, armaments, electronic and computer sciences, human resource development, life sciences, materials, missiles, combat vehicles development and naval research and development. The organization includes more than 5,000 scientists and about 25,000 other scientific, technical and supporting personnel.
More about DRDO can be found from this About Us page of DRDO website.

DRDO SET-2009 vacancies:
As per DRDO SET-2009 Notification, following are the branch-wise vacancies of 220 Scientist-B positions:

Salaries offered by DRDO:
Following your selection in DRDO SET exam, you have to undergo Post Induction Training (POINT) at Pune, after which you would be inducted as Scientist-‘B’ in the pay scale of Rs.15600-39100.
What is the future prospect of your growth in DRDO? You can find the hierarchy of DRDO organization, along with their salaries from this link.

Relaxations exist as per Govt. rule.

Academic Qualification Eligibility:
Minimum first class Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology in subjects given above (in DRDO SET-2009 vacancies) from a recognized University.
If a class/division is not awarded at B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent degree, you should have obtained a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate or 6.75 CGPA (on a Ten point Grading scale).
Final year students can also apply, provided their result is announced on or before 31st Aug 2009.

No exam/application fee is required for physically challenged (HH/OH) candidates.

In case of any difficulty for procuring the set-2009 forms from SBI branches, you can also procure the same through post from RAC, DRDO, Delhi. For details on which SBI branches SET-2009 forms are available and how to get the forms by post is given in a separate blog post titled: DRDO SET-2009 forms: from SBI & by Post.

DRDO SET Exam Notifications:
For future DRDO SET aspirants, you may be wanting to know when the next DRDO SET exam is held. I carried out a small analysis of exam date trends of last 3 years DRDO SET exam schedule and the findings are as below:

    Hi, I am a bit confused if IT guys are allowed to take this exam

     
  • At May 11, 2009 9:55 PM, Blogger Tehzeeb said…

    Hey All,

    Under the computer science category there are multiple disciplines allowed like,

    * Computer Science & Engineering, * Computer Science & Automation Engg,
    * Computer Science & Information Tech,
    * Computer Science & System Engg, * Computer Technology,
    * Computer Technology & Informatics Engg
    * Software Engineering
    ...


    Same is the case with other subjects like Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Chemical Engineering.

    I am sorry for the M.C.A ans M.sc guys, they arn't considered equivalent to B.E/B.Tech advertised for engineering subjects/disciplines.

    I would suggest every one, please go through the brochure once. It has got lots of information including the above one.
