DRDO CEPTAM 11: 764 Posts, Tier 2 Done, Result Awaited

Post: Senior Technical Assistant B (561) and Technician A (203)

Vacancies764
SalarySenior Technical Assistant Grade B sits at Pay Level 6 on the 7th Pay Commission matrix, Rs 35,400 to Rs 1,12,400. Technician A sits at the standard technician entry level, Pay Level 2, with an entry basic of Rs 19,900: confirm this against the notification for your cycle, since DRDO states the applicable level per post and it has not been uniform across all technician recruitments. Gross monthly pay is considerably higher than entry basic once dearness allowance, house rent allowance and transport allowance are added, with house rent allowance banded by city classification. Posts carry pension under the National Pension System, medical benefits, central government leave entitlements, and in many establishments access to campus facilities and residential accommodation. Progression for STA-B runs through the Technical Officer grades, and DRDO runs departmental routes and encourages further qualification, which move candidates considerably faster than time-bound progression alone.
