Hello Alfiya,

you need to have required educational qualificaion(usually Enginnering but sometimes MSc in various fields) with 65% marks.

DRDO used to conduct SET exam to recruit scientists(last SET was conducted in 2010). This year DRDO released recruitment notification, according o which selection is based on GATE score. It's not clear whether they continue recruitment through GATE or conduct SET in future.

next option is lateral entry. DRDO sometimes notifies for Scientist -C and above based on requirements of projects at hand. Those post will be filled by experienced people in the relevant feilds. they will be selected on the basis of a personal interview (no written test).

Good luck.
