Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology is a dynamic institute with expanding activities in frontline areas of science and technology. Continuous recruitment of fresh, young, talented manpower has kept this centre vibrant with activity. In the IX Five Year Plan which began from April 1997, several new projects in various fields related to lasers, accelerators and other fields like cryogenics, computers etc. have started. For all these projects, number of scientists / engineers / technicians / tradesmen are being recruited. The recruitment is done for the posts of Scientific Officers / Scientific Assistants / Tradesmen. From time to time, new posts are advertised in leading newspapers in India. From 1997 we started recruitment by "Walk-in Interviews".From Sept.2000, we have started RRCAT Training School also. The aim is to get the best talent available in India to take the Centre to the forefront of science and technology, and also to stop / reverse the brain-drain from India.
On this page, we describe the qualifications necessary for applying for the various Scientific Officer / Engineer posts. The advertisements given out from time to time for these posts will also be linked to this page.
