ISRO Scientist Engineer Online Form 2026

This page tracks ISRO Scientist Engineer Online Form 2026, a recruitment notification. The key figures are 71 vacancies, an application window closing 17 August 2026, and a fee of ₹250 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Recruitment to India's scientific organisations is typically qualification-heavy and weighted towards a technical written test, often with a minimum percentage in the qualifying degree that is enforced strictly rather than treated as indicative.

Applications open on 28 July 2026 and close on 17 August 2026, giving candidates 21 days to complete the process. At 21 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. The exam is currently shown for As per Schedule; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

71 posts are advertised in this notification. With a small number of posts, expect a high applicant-to-vacancy ratio and cut-offs well above the qualifying mark. Category-wise distribution, where the notification provides it, is shown in the vacancy table further down this page — check the count against your own category rather than the overall total, since reserved-category cut-offs and competition ratios differ substantially from the unreserved ones.

The upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 28 years. On qualifications, the notification states: BE001 — 34 — BE / B.Tech Degree in Related Trade / Branch from Any Recognized Institute in India. Aggregate Minimum 65% Marks (Average of All Semesters) GATE Score Card in Related Subject. For Subject / Post Wise Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST / PH and All Category Female are exempt from the application fee under this notification. All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹250. Payment is accepted via offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Read the eligibility conditions in full before paying any fee. The most common reason applications are rejected is a qualification or age criterion that was missed at the form stage, and that cannot usually be corrected after the window closes.
