The DRDO apprenticeship may sound prestigious, but it does not guarantee a job, a rewarding salary, or a fast-track career in defence. On paper, it appears attractive, but the ₹12,300 monthly stipend, the one-year lock-in, and the clear disclaimer that “this offer does not confer any right of employment in DRDO” present a very different reality. The Defence Bioengineering & Electromedical Laboratory (DEBEL), Bangalore, has released 28 Graduate Apprentice vacancies across disciplines such as Mechanical, Electronics, CSE, Bio-Medical, and more under Advt No. DEBEL/HRD/Apprentice/2026-27/01.
DEBEL DRDO Bangalore invites applications for 28 Graduate Apprentice posts across 9 disciplines; BE/B.Tech/B.Sc/B.Com graduates who passed out in 2022 or later can apply by 20th May 2026.
