ISRO, through its Centralised Recruitment Board, has opened applications for one of its most awaited recruitment drives of 2026, inviting candidates for the posts of Assistant, Junior Personal Assistant, Upper Division Clerk, and Stenographer. This is a golden opportunity for graduates and diploma holders looking to build a stable career in a central government scientific organisation known worldwide for its space missions and technological achievements. The recruitment covers vacancies spread across several ISRO centres including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hassan, Hyderabad, Mahendragiri, New Delhi, Sriharikota, and Thiruvananthapuram, along with a few autonomous bodies functioning under the Department of Space, such as NARL Gadanki and IIRS Dehradun. With a total of 244 vacancies on offer, this drive offers wide opportunities for candidates from different educational backgrounds, including general graduates and those with stenography skills. Candidates applying for the Assistant and Upper Division Clerk posts need a graduation degree with a minimum of 60% marks or an equivalent CGPA, along with basic computer proficiency. Those applying for Junior Personal Assistant and Stenographer posts require either a graduation degree or a diploma in commercial or secretarial practice, combined with stenography experience and a minimum typing speed of 60 words per minute in English shorthand. Selected candidates will be placed in Level 4 of the Pay Matrix with a starting basic pay of ₹25,500 per month, along with usual allowances like Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, and Transport Allowance as applicable under central government rules. Employees will also enjoy benefits such as medical facilities, subsidised canteen services, leave travel concession, group insurance, and coverage under the New Pension Scheme. The selection process is fully merit-based and involves a computer-based written examination followed by a skill test. For Assistant and UDC posts, the skill test is a Computer Literacy Test, while candidates applying for Junior Personal Assistant and Stenographer posts must additionally clear a Stenography Test. Final selection will depend on marks scored in the written examination among candidates who successfully clear the skill test round. This recruitment is particularly attractive to job seekers in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and other cities where ISRO centres are located, as it offers not just a stable government career but also the pride of being associated with India's space program. Reservation benefits are available for OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PwBD candidates as per government norms, and women candidates are especially encouraged to apply to promote gender balance in the workforce. Interested and eligible candidates should apply only through the official ISRO website within the given timeline, as no offline or postal applications will be entertained.
