How to apply DRDO?
- D.R.D.O usually provides internships in the
summer vacations only. But if one has good contacts with either the scientists
or the H.R personnel, then one can intern in any month.
- To apply for an intern position at D.R.D.O, the first one has to prepare a quality cover letter which mentions one’s field of interest, work experience and most importantly, references. Although no one in the H.R department bothers to read the cover letter, one still has to send the letter as per the organisation’s instructions. Along with the cover letter, one needs to attach N.O.C from his or her parent organisation (university or company), 2 Passport sized photographs, Resume and a copy of Student I.D proof. Here is a copy of my cover letter.
- The entire set of documents need to physically mailed to their address, latest by January. Although students send their applications as late as May, still one cannot take any chance.
- Once the applications are mailed, one simply needs to wait for about 2 months, till the month of March or April. I remember being quite tense during these months since I wasn’t sure of being selected. Do remember to ask your reference to give a call in the H.R department and inform the authorities regarding your internship.
- Once the application gets accepted, one might receive a mail from the concerned laboratory regarding the confirmation of his or her internship and joining date. Here is a copy of my email. I remember jumping with joy and excitement on seeing this email.
- After one gets free from college exams, he or
she needs to visit the D.R.D.O campus for document verification and allotment
of I.D cards. Also, the H.R officer asks about one’s field of interest.
Accordingly, students are sent to different departments and under different
scientists.
- The only thing that concerned me was the
laid-back attitude of several scientists in D.R.D.O. They were treating their
job like a regular 9–5 job and weren’t serious about research.
- The canteens serve very good food and highly subsidized prices. Also, one cannot carry any electronic device inside
or outside the campus. If caught with any kind of storage device, then be ready
for some serious trouble.
- If one is lucky to find a good mentor and successfully
completes the allotted project work in a given time, then only he or she is
eligible for an internship certificate. I was allotted the V.L.S.I department
under Dr Harish Rawat. The topic of my project work was” Crystal Vapor
Deposition of atomically thin MoS2″.
