BENGALURU, July 27 — The Indian Space Research Organisation opened online applications on Monday for 242 vacancies spanning Assistant, Upper Division Clerk, Junior Personal Assistant and Stenographer positions, giving job aspirants a fresh window into one of the country's most sought-after public sector employers.
The recruitment drive covers administrative and support roles across ISRO's various centres, distinct from the technical and scientific postings the space agency typically advertises separately. Candidates interested in applying are expected to meet category-specific educational qualifications, with age limits and pay scales varying by post, details of which are available on the official ISRO recruitment portal.
ISRO recruitment drives typically draw a large volume of applicants given the agency's profile and the job security associated with central government postings. The selection process for these categories usually involves a written examination followed by skill tests for stenographer and typing-related posts.
Aspirants preparing for such clerical and support-staff recruitment exams should note that general awareness, reasoning, quantitative aptitude and English form the core sections in most ISRO non-technical recruitment tests, similar in structure to SSC's CHSL pattern.
