Candidates who sat the ISRO Scientist/Engineer written test in September have an updated key to check against. The Indian Space Research Organisation's Centralised Recruitment Board (ICRB) has published the revised answer key for the Scientist/Engineer recruitment under Advertisement No. ISRO:ICRB:02(EMC-CEPO):2026. The revision follows the objection round on the provisional key, so this version supersedes the earlier one — if you estimated your score from the provisional key, re-check it against the revised key before drawing any conclusion about shortlisting.
