⚠️ This is an Apprenticeship — Not a Permanent Government Job. ISRO URSC Apprentice 2026 is a training programme under the Apprentices Act 1961. Apprentices receive a monthly stipend (amount specified in the official notification) but are NOT government employees. The apprenticeship is for a fixed duration — typically 1 year for Technician and Commercial Practice, and up to 1 year for Graduate Apprentices. After completion, there is no guaranteed absorption into permanent ISRO service — absorption, if any, is at ISRO's discretion through a separate process. Apply knowing this — it is a prestigious training opportunity at India's top space centre, but it is not a Group-B or Group-C permanent post.

📱 Apply via UMANG Portal — Not via isro.gov.in Directly

Applications for ISRO URSC Apprentice 2026 are submitted through UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) at web.umang.gov.in. UMANG is the Government of India's multi-service citizen portal — it hosts the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) system through which all apprenticeship applications are routed. You will need to create a UMANG/NATS account before applying. Applications submitted directly at isro.gov.in without going through UMANG/NATS may not be valid — follow the exact process in the official notification.

🛰️ What is URSC (U R Rao Satellite Centre)?

URSC — U R Rao Satellite Centre — is ISRO's primary satellite design, development, and testing facility, located in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Previously known as ISAC (ISRO Satellite Centre), it was renamed in 2017 to honour Professor Udupi Ramachandra Rao (1932–2017), former ISRO Chairman and pioneer of India's satellite programme. URSC is responsible for designing and building India's communication satellites (GSAT series), remote sensing satellites (Resourcesat, Cartosat, EOS series), and navigation satellites (NavIC). The apprenticeship programme gives selected trainees hands-on experience in satellite engineering, electronics, mechanical systems, and space technology at one of India's most advanced technical facilities.
