2.Two-year DAE Graduate Fellowship Scheme for Engineering Graduates and Physics post-graduates for the term beginning in 2008 (DGFS-2008) Under this scheme, Engineering Graduates and Physics Post-Graduates who are selected for the Training School programme and who also have secured admission for MTech (2008-2010) in an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in specializations specified in Table-4, are paid stipend and tuition fee to study for MTech degree. After successful completion of one-year course work at IIT, the fellows undertake project work, which is assigned and supervised jointly by a DAE and an IIT guide. On successful completion of MTech, they are posted as Scientific Officers in DAE. On joining, they are required to first undertake a four-month Orientation Course at BARC, which is meant to introduce them to specific academic requirements of the DAE programmes. The DGFS fellows are enrolled and posted in one of the following units of DAE:
a) BARC, Mumbai b) RRCAT, Indore c) ECIL, Hyderabad d) IGCAR, Kalpakkam e) NPCIL,Mumbai.
Allocation of a DGFS fellow to a DAE unit is done at the beginning of the MTech programme.
Selected candidates are required to execute an agreement and a personal Indemnity Bond to serve DAE for at least three years after completion of training. Indemnity Bond is for Rs.1,85,000/- for OCES trainees and Rs.3,90,000/- together with tuition fees for DGFS fellows. No third party surety is required.
