Overview
- ISRO began the ICRB registration for 244 assistant, JPA, UDC and stenographer posts on July 27 with applications open until August 16 and URSC opened 410 apprentice registrations on July 29 with a deadline of August 28.
- ICRB candidates must hold a graduate degree with at least 60% or 6.32 CGPA and will face a single objective written test of 150 minutes at 38 exam centres followed by a skill test for shortlisted applicants.
- URSC’s apprentice intake is divided into 220 graduate, 120 technician and 70 commercial practice slots and will shortlist candidates by qualifying marks before document verification and paneling.
- Applicants must pay a ₹100 application fee plus a refundable ₹500 processing fee via the Bharatkosh gateway with refund rules protecting exempted categories and refunds tied to appearing for the exam.
- The hiring is part of a larger July recruitment push that totals 746 openings across ISRO and the Department of Space, a move that provides immediate staff and training opportunities but is unlikely to erase a long-standing vacancy gap in the agency.
