DGFS-2014
Two-year DAE Graduate
Fellowship Scheme for Engineering Graduates and Physics Post-Graduates for the
session beginning in July / August 2014 (DGFS-2014). Under this scheme,
Engineering Graduates and Physics Post-Graduates who are selected for the BARC
Training School program and who also have secured admission for MTech / MChem
Engg in select institutes and specializations are paid stipend and tuition fee
to pursue a MTech / MChem Engg degree while retaining their employment in DAE.
After successful completion of one-year course work at the institute, fellows
undertake project work, which is assigned by DAE and supervised jointly by a
DAE and an institute guide. On successful completion of MTech / MChem Engg,
they are posted as Scientific Officers in DAE. On joining, they are required to
first undertake a four-month Orientation Course (OCDF) at the BARC Training
School, Mumbai. The DGFS fellows are enrolled and posted in one of the

Selection Process
Selection to OCES /
DGFS-2014 is a 2-step process: Screening to short-list candidates followed by
Selection Interviews of the short-listed candidates. There is a separate
selection process for each of the disciplines listed in Table-1 except for
Radiological Safety Engineering (RSE), which is available only as an additional
Training Scheme option to applicants belonging to Physics and Chemistry
disciplines .
Screening for Selection
Interview is based on two alternative methods:
(a) Online Test: It will
be conducted in each of the seven Engineering disciplines listed in Table-1
other than Civil Engineering and in all the five science disciplines listed in
Table-1 at nearly forty venues spread across India. The Online Screening Test
for OCES / DGFS-2014 will be held in March, 2014. Travel Allowance is not paid
for appearing in it. Candidates taking the Online Test in one of the seven
engineering disciplines or one of the five science disciplines will be enabled
to choose their centre as well as the date and time of the session in which
they will appear for the Online Test, subject to availability.
(b) GATE Score: In this
case, merit list in each discipline is prepared on the basis of a valid
GATE-2013 or GATE-2014 Score of the applicants. Candidates in Civil Engineering
will be short-listed for Selection Interviews only on the basis of a valid
GATE-2013 or GATE-2014 Score.
c) Candidates, in all
disciplines other than civil engineering, have the option of utilizing either
one or both of the screening avenues detailed above. Cut-off GATE scores for
screening into Selection Interviews will be decided only after the Online Test
has concluded and so Candidates are advised to maximize their chances of being
screened into the Selection Interview stage by availing both of the screening
avenues detailed above. Applying on the basis of Online Test as well as a
GATE-2013 or GATE-2014 score will maximize a candidate’s chance of being
short-listed for a Selection Interview.
d) Students graduating
with a Master’s Degree from University of Mumbai - Department of Atomic Energy
Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (UM-DAE CBS) and National Institute of
Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, and whose Cumulative Grade
Performance Average (CGPA) is greater than or equal to 7.5 on a scale of 10
will directly be screened into the Selection Interview stage, provided they
meet all other eligibility requirements of the OCES / DGFS-2014 program. Such
candidates should first apply for OCES / DGFS-2014 program on the Online
Application Portal and subsequently forward their details through the Directors
of their institutes.
Selection Interviews of
short-listed candidates in all disciplines except Geology and Geophysics will
be conducted at the BARC Training School, Mumbai. Interviews in Geology and
Geophysics will be held at the BARC Training School located at AMD, Hyderabad.
