About Bhabha Atomic Research Centre
Atomic Energy has a key role in reducing the carbon intensity of the overall Power sector of India. Coal based thermal power contributes 231,870 MW (February 2021), 61% of the total installed power while renewables, hydro and nuclear contribute 77,477.72 MW (20%), 50,817 MW (13%) and 6,780 MW (1.9%) respectively. Source Ministry of Power, Govt. of India.
India's total installed power generation capacity stands at 377,260.67 MW
While renewable sources of energy are environment friendly, they are intermittent sources of power. Nuclear power, being a non-intermittent and concentrated source of power with negligible carbon footprint, is an essential component of the Indian power-mix to meet the International environmental commitments of India.

Expert Tips (H3: "How to Crack BARC Exams"):
- Master the Fundamentals: Unlike other exams, the BARC interview is famously deep. You are expected to derive formulas from scratch and explain the "Why" behind physical laws rather than just "How" to solve a problem.
- Speed in Online Test: The BARC online exam consists of 100 questions in 120 minutes. The difficulty is similar to GATE, but the time per question is significantly less. Practice high-speed calculation without a physical calculator (an on-screen one is provided).
- GATE vs. Online Exam: If you have a decent GATE score, apply through both routes. This gives you two chances to be shortlisted for the interview.
The 2026 application window for OCES/DGFS is open from December 22, 2025, to January 21, 2026. Ensure your E-KYC is completed using Aadhaar during the registration process to avoid last-minute technical glitches.+1
