Want to work inside a DRDO lab, even before landing your first job? Here's a practical route.
The DRDO INMAS Apprenticeship 2026 is now open at the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), Delhi. The program offers one‑year apprenticeship training for graduates, diploma holders, and ITI candidates across multiple disciplines. Stipends go up to ₹12,300 per month, depending on qualification.
Seats are limited though. Only 38 in total. And applications close on 30 April 2026, so this is one deadline you shouldn't push to the last day.

Honestly, ₹12,300 for a government research lab apprenticeship is quite decent for fresh graduates. More importantly, the experience inside a DRDO institute carries real weight on a resume.
Before applying, check these eligibility conditions carefully. Many candidates miss out because of the graduation year rule.
Also remember: this apprenticeship does not guarantee a job in DRDO after completion. The training simply gives you hands‑on experience under the Apprentices Act.
The DRDO INMAS Apprenticeship 2026 runs for 12 months. Training will take place at the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences in Timarpur, Delhi.
During this period, apprentices work with scientists, technical staff, and research teams involved in biomedical research, radiation sciences, and allied technologies. The institute operates under the Ministry of Defence, so the exposure is quite different from a typical corporate internship.
That said, accommodation and transport are not provided. Selected candidates need to arrange their own stay in Delhi.
The selection process is straightforward.
Applications are screened by a board constituted by the Director of INMAS. Candidates are shortlisted strictly on the percentage or marks obtained in the qualifying examination.
No written exam. No interview mentioned in the notification.
Only shortlisted candidates will be informed about the selection. There is also no TA or DA provided for joining.
The application process involves both the NATS portal and a formal application form. Follow these steps carefully.
I've seen many applicants ignore the NATS registration step until the last day. That often causes verification delays. If you're planning to apply, complete the registration early.
