The recruitment covers Assistant, UDC, JPA and Stenographer posts across ISRO centres and autonomous bodies, under the single advertisement ISRO:ICRB:01(A-JPA):2026. Post-wise and zone-wise shortlists were published with the 24-10-2026 result — check the list for your own post and zone rather than relying on a single total figure, since secondary summaries disagree on it.
Eligibility was prescribed post-wise in the July 2026 advertisement: the written test, held on 21-09-2026, was the common first stage, and only candidates shortlisted in the 24-10-2026 result can appear for the skill test. The revised answer key does not reopen eligibility — it corrects the scoring of the paper already held.
| Minimum Age | 18 years |
|---|---|
| Maximum Age | 28 years |
| Age Counted As On | 16-08-2026 |
| Age Relaxation | As per ISRO / Government rules |
No fee is payable at the answer-key or skill-test stage. The application and processing fees were collected with the original applications in July–August 2026.
If you are shortlisted, the practical point is timing: verification on Friday, skill test on Sunday, with an 08:00 AM reporting time on the test day. Download the admit card now rather than on the morning of the test, and confirm your venue from it.
The Indian Space Research Organisation, under the Department of Space, recruits administrative and secretarial staff through its Centralised Recruitment Board. The Assistant, UDC, JPA and Stenographer posts support ISRO centres across India, and the skill test is the qualifying practical stage after the written examination.
