The CEPTAM (Centre for Personnel Talent Management) recruitment drive is conducted to fill technical and administrative positions in DRDO laboratories and establishments across the country. The CEPTAM 11 notification covers posts such as Technician, Administrative Assistant, and other allied roles, offering a significant opportunity for candidates seeking a career in India’s premier defence research organisation.

According to the official notification, candidates must complete the online registration and application process within the stipulated deadline, as no offline applications will be accepted. Applicants are required to first register using a valid email ID and mobile number, after which they can fill in personal details, educational qualifications, upload documents, and pay the application fee, if applicable.

Eligibility criteria vary depending on the post applied for. Generally, candidates must have passed Class 10, Class 12, ITI, or equivalent qualifications, while some posts may require specific technical certifications or computer proficiency. Age limits and relaxation norms apply as per government rules for reserved categories, including SC, ST, OBC, PwBD, and ex-servicemen.

The selection process for DRDO CEPTAM 11 typically includes a computer-based examination (CBT), followed by skill or trade tests, where applicable. The CBT will assess candidates on subjects such as general awareness, reasoning ability, quantitative aptitude, English language skills, and relevant technical knowledge. Final selection will be based on merit and performance in the prescribed stages.

Candidates selected through CEPTAM 11 will be appointed to DRDO laboratories and centres engaged in cutting-edge research and development in areas such as defence systems, aerospace, electronics, missiles, and advanced technologies.
