The overall scope of the project is as follows: analyzing the efficacy of aptitude test for selection of scientist, assessing the effectiveness of job profiling / job functions in the recruitment of scientists, methodology for assessing multi-attribute scientific performance model, personality profiling and its application for decision support system for HRM, applicant perception towards personnel selection / assessment methods, and designing of a standardized bio-data format for DRDS cadre & analyzing the efficacy.

Deliverables of ESTSPM project:

  1. Aptitude tests for scientific jobs.
  2. Web-based recruitment processes.
  3. Decision Support System (DSS) for Human Resource Management based on Personality profiling of Scientists.
  4. Multi-attribute system for recruitment and assessment schemes for all scientific positions
  5. Evaluation of R&D organisations: New Methodologies

Project SANGRAH

  • RAC has undertaken a project titled “Digitization of Complete Selection Records”. The objective of the project is to digitize the complete records available at RAC for 1985 onwards, most of which are currently available only in paper/document form, for various recruitment and assessment schemes being carried out by RAC.
  • The project also includes development of a complete software package for an aid to retrieve and display records for custom based queries related to selection / recommendation made by RAC since 1985.
  • The project will help RAC move ahead with modernization and will also serve as a powerful tool for quick reference/retrieval, display, analysis & report generation.
