7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure

The Junior Research Fellow (JRF) position under the DRDO-funded IEMUGV project at NATMO is governed by DST/DRDO fellowship guidelines aligned with the 7th CPC framework. The fellowship offers a consolidated monthly stipend of Rs. 31,000 (escalated to Rs. 37,000 under revised DST norms). Since it is a fellowship, Dearness Allowance (DA) is not applicable; however, House Rent Allowance (HRA) is provided as per the host institution's location (Class X cities at 27% to 30%, Class Y at 18% to 20%, and Class Z at 9% to 10%). For a Class X city like Kolkata (NATMO HQ), the HRA at 27% on Rs. 31,000 amounts to Rs. 8,370, leading to a Gross Monthly Fellowship of Rs. 39,370. As this is a contractual fellowship, standard NPS and PF deductions are not applicable, resulting in an estimated in-hand monthly net payout of approximately Rs. 39,370, making it highly competitive for research scholars.

Statutory Reservation & Age Relaxation Guidelines

The recruitment for the JRF position under the NATMO-DRDO project strictly adheres to the statutory reservation guidelines issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India. Age relaxations are applicable as follows: 5 years for SC/ST candidates, 3 years for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates, and up to 10 years for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD). While the post is contractual, vertical reservation principles for EWS (10%) and SC/ST/OBC are applied during shortlisting. Furthermore, in compliance with central mandates, women candidates are exempted from application fees to promote gender diversity in scientific research.
