Typical Job Profiles for M.Sc. / Ph.D. Chemistry in PSUs:
-
Chemist / Analytical Chemist
-
Scientific Officer (Chemistry)
-
Quality Control Officer
-
Process Chemist / Process Engineer
-
R&D Officer / Research Scientist
-
Lab In-Charge / Technical Officer

Environmental Chemist
Special Preference for Ph.D. Candidates:
Ph.D. Chemistry holders are usually preferred in:
-
BARC, DRDO, CSIR Labs, ISRO, NPCIL
-
Specialized roles in fuel technology, polymer science, nuclear chemistry, environmental monitoring, etc.
- Appear for GATE exam in the relevant paper.
- Apply for PSU job notifications (separately from GATE application).
- Shortlisting is usually based on GATE score, followed by:
- Group Discussion (GD)
- Personal Interview (PI)
- Sometimes medical or psychometric tests
⚠️ Important Notes:
-
GATE CH is often needed, but not always mandatory—some PSUs conduct their own tests.
-
For research-intensive roles (BARC, CSIR, DRDO), Ph.D. is a big plus or required.
-
PSUs may release recruitment notifications with very specific age and category criteria, especially for M.Sc. and Ph.D. roles.
