# ISRO announces 746 regular and apprenticeship vacancies

2026-08-05T23:18:51+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk

Three separate notifications, dated between 27 and 29 July, together open 746 positions at the Department of Space and ISRO, The Economic Times reported. Of that number, 336 are regular appointments and the other 410 are apprenticeship slots tied to the 2026-27 training year. Within the regular half, 244 are administrative roles and 92 are Scientist or Engineer SC appointments at Level 10, distributed across several ISRO centres rather than concentrated at one. The apprenticeship half belongs entirely to URSC Bengaluru, which has invited graduates, technicians and diploma holders in commercial practice to apply. Those selected will draw a stipend and finish with a certificate issued under the Apprentices Act, though the notification is explicit that completing the training confers no claim to employment afterwards.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The 746 figure covers two different kinds of position. Of the total, 336 are regular posts, split between 244 administrative positions and 92 Scientist or Engineer SC roles at Level 10 that are spread across several ISRO centres. The remaining 410 are apprenticeships announced by URSC Bengaluru for graduates, technicians and diploma holders in commercial practice, who receive a stipend and a certificate under the Apprentices Act and, by the terms of the announcement, no guarantee of employment. Three notifications issued between 27 and 29 July carry the whole set. The 410 apprenticeships are pegged to the 2026-27 training year, which dates the intake URSC Bengaluru has set out to fill.
