# ISRO announces 61 technician and driver vacancies at URSC 2026-10-28T11:29:45+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), a key ISRO centre, has opened applications for 61 positions, including Technician-B (46 posts), Light Vehicle Driver (5 posts) and Heavy Vehicle Driver (10 posts). The online application process runs until 13 November 2026 on ursc.gov.in. Candidates must be between 18 and 35 years old and meet post-specific educational and experience requirements. The selection involves application screening, a written examination and a skill test. The application fee is Rs 500, of which Rs 400 is refunded to those who appear for the written exam. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 61 vacancies are tiny against ISRO's overall workforce, but the concentration of 46 posts in a single skilled trade, Technician-B, suggests URSC is prioritising hands-on assembly and testing staff for its satellite-building pipeline. The written-test and skill-test structure, plus the Rs 400 refund, is designed to screen for genuine candidates, not casual applicants. Candidates who pass the screening but have the wrong educational certificate or an incomplete document upload will be eliminated before the exam. The hard deadline is 13 November 2026 for online submissions, with no extension mentioned. ## Coverage - abplive.com Straight service journalism: lists eligibility, steps, fee, no slant.
