Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has announced openings for apprenticeship and research positions for the 2025-26 financial year.

These include spots for Technician (Vocational) Trainees, Graduate and Diploma Apprentice Trainees, Junior Research Fellows (JRFs), and Research Associates (RAs).

The goal is to offer hands-on experience to students and early-career professionals interested in working on defense projects.

Who Can Apply

The available roles are divided into several categories:

  • Technician (Vocational) Trainees: For those who have completed vocational training in fields like electronics, mechanical, or electrical. Openings depend on the needs of each DRDO lab.
  • Graduate and Diploma Apprentices: Open to engineering graduates (B.E./B.Tech) and diploma holders. These apprenticeships typically run for one year and involve practical training.
  • Research Roles (JRF/RA): These are open to postgraduates and Ph.D. holders in science or engineering. Most JRF positions require candidates to have passed exams like GATE or NET.

Where to Find Information

To apply, candidates should visit the official DRDO site and go to the “Careers” section for updates. Graduate and diploma apprentices also need to register at the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) portal (www.mhrdnats.gov.in).

Some labs, like the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) in Bengaluru or the Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS) in Delhi, post their openings separately. Applicants should check lab-specific portals as well.

Other Key Details

Eligibility depends on the role and includes educational background, age limits, and sometimes interviews.

Selected candidates get a monthly stipend, generally between ₹8,000 and ₹9,000. Research fellows and associates are paid more, as per government rules.

Final Word

These roles give students and recent graduates a chance to build real-world experience in defense work.

With labs located across India, DRDO is offering multiple ways to get involved in projects that matter. For updates, visit www.drdo.gov.in or www.mhrdnats.gov.in.
