Is there a possibility for nuclear engineers to get a job at DRDO?

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.
