Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
The positions are based at the School of Defence Technology and Management, Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT), Girinagar, Pune—a premier Deemed University under the Department of Defence Research & Development (DRDO), Ministry of Defence. The project focuses on 'Identification and Analysis of Critical Bottlenecks in Procurement Processes of Defence R&D Projects at DIAT'. Appointees work in a collaborative defense research academic ecosystem directly alongside senior faculty, scientists, and defense management specialists. Fellows are also encouraged to register for a Ph.D. at DIAT through institutional norms.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
Static campus posting at DIAT Girinagar (near Khadakwasla Dam), Pune, Maharashtra. The appointment is purely temporary on a contract basis for 18 months or co-terminus with the research project, whichever is earlier. It does not confer any right for permanent absorption in DIAT or DRDO.
Career & Promotion Ladder
Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.
Contractual research fellowship/staff role with fixed consolidated monthly stipend (Rs. 20,000 for PA, Rs. 30,000 for Analyst). While there is no regular government service promotion hierarchy, performance in the project and registration in DIAT's Ph.D. program opens direct career pathways into DRDO research fellowships, defence public sector units (DPSUs), private defence manufacturing firms (L&T Defence, Bharat Forge, Tata Advanced Systems), and supply chain management consultancies.
