🟢 Applications are live from today — 28 July 2026. Last date: 17 August 2026 (20 days). Fee payment deadline is also 17 August 2026 (same day as apply close). ISRO Scientist/Engineer vacancies are among the most competitive in India — apply early and ensure your GATE score is valid (2024, 2025, or 2026 score accepted).

⚡ GATE Score is Non-Negotiable — Required for Every Post. All 8 post categories in this recruitment require a valid GATE 2024, 2025, or 2026 score in the relevant discipline. There is no alternative pathway. Without a valid GATE score, your application will be rejected regardless of your B.E./B.Tech. marks. GATE score is used for shortlisting — it replaces a written exam. Only GATE-shortlisted candidates are called for Interview. Check your GATE scorecard before applying — ensure it is for the correct paper (EC for Electronics, ME for Mechanical/R&AC, CS for Computer Science, etc.).

🚀 'SC' in Scientist/Engineer 'SC' — What Does It Mean?

'SC' is a grade designation at ISRO — it stands for Scientist/Engineer Grade SC, the entry-level scientist grade. It is NOT a reference to Scheduled Caste (SC) reservation category. ISRO's scientist hierarchy runs: SC → SD → SE → SF → SG → SH. The 'SC' grade is the starting point for fresh B.E./B.Tech. graduates entering ISRO. Candidates from all categories (General, OBC, EWS, SC, ST) can apply for Scientist/Engineer 'SC' grade posts.

🔵 BE004A — Civil (Autonomous Body PRL): What is PRL?

PRL = Physical Research Laboratory — an autonomous research institution under the Department of Space, Government of India. PRL is located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It is one of India's premier space and basic sciences research institutions, studying planetary sciences, astronomy, and space weather. The BE004A Civil post is for PRL, not for ISRO directly — though the selection is administered by ISRO/ICRB. If selected for BE004A, the candidate will be posted at PRL Ahmedabad, not at an ISRO centre.

🔄 Selection Process — GATE → Interview → DV → Medical

GATE-Based Shortlisting

GATE 2024, 2025, or 2026 score in the relevant discipline is used to shortlist candidates for Interview. There is NO separate written examination — GATE score IS the screening test. ISRO sets discipline-wise cutoff marks based on the number of applications and available posts. A higher GATE score significantly increases your chances of being shortlisted, especially in high-competition disciplines (Electronics, Computer Science).

Interview Test

GATE-shortlisted candidates are called for a technical interview conducted by ISRO's discipline-wise expert panels. The interview tests domain knowledge, problem-solving ability, and suitability for ISRO's research and technical work. Venue and dates are announced post-shortlisting. Travel allowance (TA) is typically provided by ISRO for interview attendance — verify from the official notification.

Document Verification

B.E./B.Tech. degree certificate (or provisional), GATE scorecard (2024/2025/2026), age proof, category certificate (if applicable), and for BE007: Council of Architecture Registration Certificate. All documents verified at ISRO/ICRB before final selection.

Medical Examination

Physical fitness check as per ISRO/Department of Space service rules before appointment order is issued.
