ISRO has released the exam date for its 2026 recruitment drive. The written test or computer-based test for Assistant, Upper Division Clerk, Junior Personal Assistant, and Stenographer posts will be held on 21 September 2026.
The recruitment notification, issued on 27 July 2026, lists 267 vacancies across these posts. The online application window opened on 27 July and closed on 20 August 2026. Candidates must be graduates with at least 60 percent marks and aged between 18 and 28 years, with standard age relaxations for reserved categories.
The selection process comprises a written exam and a skill test. The written test is 150 minutes long. For unreserved candidates, the qualifying mark is 50 percent, for reserved category candidates, it is 40 percent. Shortlisted candidates will be called for a skill test in a 1:5 ratio against category-wise vacancies.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is ISRO's largest clerical-level recruitment cycle in recent years, with vacancies spread across its own units and autonomous institutions under the Department of Space. The one-year work experience requirement, common in central government recruitment, may narrow the applicant pool compared to earlier drives that relied solely on academic qualifications. Candidates should note that the skill test for JPA and stenographer posts includes a stenography speed component of 60 words per minute, a threshold that often eliminates general applicants. The next concrete milestone is the release of admit cards, typically two to three weeks before the 21 September exam date.
