DGR’s latest officer vacancy page has added an important update for retired defence officers and eligible ex-servicemen looking for second-career opportunities.
A new entry has been listed under Vacancy Code 2432026 for the post of Scientist B against the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The subject areas mentioned on the DGR page include Botany, Environmental Science, Zoology, Physics and Geology.
The closing date shown on the official DGR page is 25 June 2026. This makes the update urgent for eligible candidates.
What is the latest DGR update?
The Directorate General Resettlement has listed a fresh officer vacancy entry for Scientist B. This is a government-sector opportunity listed on the DGR officer job page.
The vacancy entry mentions:
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Vacancy Code | 2432026 |
| Organisation | Ministry of Information and Broadcasting |
| Post | Scientist B |
| Subjects | Botany, Environmental Science, Zoology, Physics, Geology |
| Category | Government |
| Mode of application | Forward to DGR as per vacancy notification |
| Closing Date | 25 June 2026 |
This is not a general administrative post. It appears to be a specialised technical/scientific opportunity. Therefore, interested officers should check the official notification carefully before applying.
Why this update matters for retired defence officers?
Many retired defence officers have qualifications and experience beyond command, administration and field service. Some come from technical, science, engineering, environmental, research, training or specialist backgrounds.
A Scientist B vacancy may be relevant for those who have the required subject qualification and experience. For such officers, this can be a meaningful second-career opening outside the usual security, administration or corporate roles.
This is why the update should not be ignored by officers with science or technical education.
This is a DGR-listed vacancy, not direct DGR recruitment
This point is very important.
DGR lists vacancies as part of job assistance and resettlement support for ex-servicemen. But DGR itself states that these vacancies are informatory in nature and that it has no role in the final selection or rejection of any ESM.
So candidates should not treat this as direct recruitment by DGR.
The correct understanding is:
DGR has listed the vacancy for information and forwarding assistance. Final selection will be handled by the concerned user organisation as per its rules.
Why this should be a short update, not a full repeat?
Sainik Welfare News has already covered DGR officer vacancies earlier, including posts such as General Manager, Architect, Assistant Architect, Assistant Professor, Senior Grade IIS and Business Development roles.
This Scientist B post is a fresh addition and should be treated as an update article.
The purpose of this article is simple: alert eligible retired officers before the closing date.
Who should check this vacancy?
This update may be useful for:
Retired defence officers with science background.
Eligible ex-servicemen officers with qualifications in Botany, Environmental Science, Zoology, Physics or Geology.
Officers looking for government-sector second-career options.
Veterans who regularly follow DGR job assistance updates.
Candidates who missed earlier DGR officer vacancy listings.
What should candidates do now?
Eligible candidates should immediately visit the official DGR officer vacancy page and download the notification for Vacancy Code 2432026.
Before applying, they should check:
Post name
Subject requirement
Educational qualification
Experience condition
Age criteria
Application format
Forwarding instructions
Last date
Documents required
Since the closing date is 25 June 2026, eligible candidates should not wait until the last moment.
Important application caution
Candidates should not apply only on the basis of social media posts or forwarded messages.
They should open the official DGR page, download the Scientist B notification and follow the instructions exactly. If the vacancy notification asks for a specific willingness format, subject line or document set, those instructions must be followed carefully.
A good profile can lose an opportunity if the application is incomplete, late or sent in the wrong format.
Final view
The DGR Scientist B update is a useful deadline-based opportunity for eligible retired defence officers with science-related qualifications.
It is not a mass recruitment notice and it is not direct DGR selection. But it is still important because it gives specialised officers another second-career route through an official DGR-listed vacancy.
For eligible candidates, the message is clear: check the official DGR notification, verify eligibility and apply before the 25 June 2026 deadline.
For ex-servicemen, timely information is also welfare. A missed deadline can close a good opportunity.
