DGFS-2015
Two-year
DAE Graduate Fellowship Scheme for Engineering Graduates and Physics
Post-Graduates for the session beginning in July/August 2015 (DGFS-2015). 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/ MChemEngg in select institutes and specializations are paid stipend and
tuition fee to pursue a MTech/ MChemEngg 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 M.Tech/
M.ChemEngg, 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
following units of DAE: a) BARC, Mumbai b) IGCAR, Kalpakkam c) RRCAT, Indore.

Selection
Process
Selection
to OCES/DGFS-2015 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 above except for
Radiolgical 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 above other than Civil Engineering and in all the five science
disciplines listed above at nearly thirty venues spread across India. The
Online Screening Test for OCES/DGFS-2015 will be held in March, 2015. 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-2014 or GATE-2015 Score of the applicants. Candidates in
Civil Engineering will be short-listed for Selection Interviews only on the
basis of a valid GATE-2014 or GATE-2015 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-2014 or GATE-2015 score will maximize a candidate's chance of
being short-listed for a Selection Interview.
d)
Students graduating with a Masters 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-2015 program. Such candidates should first apply for OCES/DGFS-2015
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.
