The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has issued a major recruitment notification opening dozens of positions across its various centers and subordinate offices. The drive is specifically aimed at candidates who have completed their 10th standard education or hold an ITI certification, making it one of the most accessible government recruitment opportunities for young job seekers in India.
According to the official advertisement released by ISRO, the vacancies span multiple categories including Assistant, Technician, and various operational support roles spread across its network of research centers, satellite integration facilities, and administrative offices. The organisation has historically been one of the largest public-sector employers for candidates with technical diplomas and vocational training certificates, and this latest notification continues that pattern.
The minimum age requirement stands at 18 years, while the upper age limit varies between 27 and 30 years depending on the specific post and the candidate's category. As is standard across central government recruitments, relaxed upper age limits apply for candidates belonging to reserved categories, including OBC, SC, ST, and PwBD applicants.
The salary structure associated with these positions falls under the 7th Central Pay Commission pay matrix. For the higher-grade posts, the gross monthly salary can reach approximately ₹1.42 lakh when basic pay, dearness allowance, and other applicable allowances are combined. Entry-level posts typically begin at a lower band but still offer a fully tax-exempt component structure typical of central government employment.
Applications are accepted exclusively through ISRO's official career portal at isro.gov.in. Candidates are advised to read the detailed notification carefully before submitting their forms, as each post carries specific educational and age criteria. The selection process generally involves a written test or skill-based assessment followed by document verification, depending on the nature of the post.
This recruitment drive is being seen as a significant opportunity for candidates from non-metro and rural backgrounds who have pursued technical education at theITI level, given ISRO's reputation for merit-based hiring and career growth within the scientific ecosystem of India.
