Is the DRDO CEPTAM exam held annually?

Yes, you can apply to DRDO after taking the GATE in Biotechnology, as long as DRDO posts recruitment notifications that accept GATE-BT scores. DRDO usually hires scientists through the Recruitment and Assessment Centre (RAC). For positions like Scientist 'B', a valid GATE score is often needed. However, not all fields are accepted each year, and eligibility varies by the recruitment cycle. If biotechnology appears among the accepted subjects, you can apply. Therefore, it's important to regularly check the official RAC DRDO website and stay informed about their the latest notifications to see if your GATE paper is eligible that year.

Yes, DRDO accepts GATE scores for direct recruitment of Scientist 'B' positions. According to a public notice by DRDO, a valid GATE score is required for these positions, including disciplines under Life Sciences and Humanities/Social Sciences.  Therefore, a GATE DA (Data Analytics) score should be acceptable for relevant positions. However, it's advisable to check the specific eligibility criteria in the detailed advertisement when it's released. 

There is are high chances that nuclear engineers will work for the DRDO. The foremost defense research and development agency in India, DRDO, includes several nuclear-related initiatives. Nuclear engineers are also recruited by the organization. It releases notification in case of any requirement or vacancy in the field. Nuclear engineers normally need to hold a M.Tech degree in Nuclear Engineering or a closely related discipline to work at DRDO. They may also need to have some background in nuclear development or research for better chances of selection.

There is no such prior commitment done by the Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) regarding vaccancy. The vaccancy is directly declared when more number of candidates are needed in the organization. It is expected that DRDO CEPTAM will release few vaccancies in the year 2025 .
