RAC was established in 1985 as an agency for recruitment and promotion for posts covered in Defence Research and Development Services (DRDS). RAC makes available quality scientific manpower to different DRDO labs for helping them complete their projects including mission mode projects in important areas of technologies required for the Services. DRDO's mission mode projects pertain to areas like missiles, electronics, life sciences, naval systems, vehicles and armaments, aeronautics and many other branches of engineering and technology. RAC addresses this challenge of tapping and retaining bright scientific talent at various levels through various schemes realising its core functions.
In order to evolve a transparent system with a high degree of credibility, RAC engages eminent experts with requisite domain knowledge from academic institutes, scientific organizations and the industry who are adept in assessing not only the scientific and technical competence but also the personal attributes, managerial skills, attitude and aptitude of the candidates. RAC is, therefore always on the lookout for engaging such experts. If you think that you are one such expert having 20 or more years of experience in Academics/ Research & Development in Govt./ Industry, and willing to participate in the processes of recruitment and assessment of scientists, then please give us your details in the form available through the following link.
