As India prepares itself to join the world in nuclear exchange and trade, the field of nuclear energy production is going to expand and become a very attractive profession in the years to come. One of premier institutions in India that determines entry into Indian nuclear and research establishment is the Department of Atomic Energy.
The Bhabha Atomic Research Center at Trombay had started a research and development program in 1957 under which young scientists and engineers were recruited for projects conducted by DAE. The training school, located at Trombay, Mumbai, recruits around 100 Engineering and Science post graduate students on an annual basis. Students are trained in disciplines such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology & Radiobiology, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering and Metallurgy.
After a one year multi disciplinary study, students are exposed to the various facets of the work at the DAE. Scientists at the DAE have to multi-skilled to meet the challenges of the work. Apart from the direct recruitment through these programs, there is also an Graduate Fellowship Scheme that is an additional point of entry. The DAE operates this fellowship program with six other IIT institutions. Forty graduates are sponsored for MTECH programs at these IIT, who are later inducted into the DAE after obtaining required certifications.
The teaching staff at the DAE are also practicing scientists. The students are therefore acquainted with the latest in research and development program through these training programs.
For an extensive review of the student programs available at the BARC, please refer to the mentioned in the Reference section.
