The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has formally announced one of its largest recruitment drives for the year 2026, inviting applications for multiple non-gazetted and technical posts across its various centers throughout the country. The notification covers positions such as Stenographer, Technician 'D', Junior Assistant, and other Group C and Group D roles, opening doors for a wide spectrum of applicants — from those who have passed the 10th standard or hold an ITI certificate to graduates and postgraduates.
According to the official recruitment advertisement published on ISRO's careers portal, candidates must be Indian citizens, and the upper age limit is generally 37 years for the general category, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per government norms. The selection process for each post will vary — some positions will be filled through a written test followed by a skill or typing test, while others may rely on merit based on educational qualifications alone.
The salary structure for these posts falls under the 7th Central Pay Commission, with monthly pay bands ranging from approximately ₹20,300 for entry-level posts to around ₹1,42,400 for senior technical positions. In addition to the basic pay, successful candidates will be eligible for standard government benefits including dearness allowance, housing allowance, medical benefits, and pension contributions under the National Pension Scheme.
ISRO, headquartered in Bengaluru, remains one of India's most prestigious scientific organizations and a top employer in the public sector. This recruitment drive is expected to draw tens of thousands of applications from across the nation, particularly from states with strong engineering and technical education ecosystems such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh. The organization has not yet announced the exact date for examinations or document verification, urging interested candidates to apply well in advance through the official website isro.gov.in before the deadline expires.
