Even if 50-60 LPA is given to scientists, there will always be private players ready to pay 1-2 crore.
This is my personal opinion
DRDO opened applications for Scientist, requiring 3 to 11 years of experience. Basic pay ranges from ₹67,700 to ₹1,23,100, plus allowances such as 60% dearness allowance.
Even for senior roles, total gross pay comes to around ₹2.4 lakh per month. India wants top engineers and researchers to build critical defence technology, yet many private companies pay ₹50 lakh a year for similar talent. Then we wonder why brain drain continues.
Only reasons people still join are job security, government housing, pension benefits, and the expected 8th Pay Commission salary hike.
