ISRO HSFC Medical Officer Recruitment Extended to November 22
The ISRO HSFC Medical Officer application and fee deadline has moved to November 22, 2026. The Human Space Flight Centre in Bengaluru is recruiting for four Medical Officer ‘SD’ vacancies across General Medicine, Physiology and Aerospace Medicine. The extension gives candidates more time to apply. They still need to meet the eligibility requirements as of November 8.
Read the November 5 extension circular alongside the detailed recruitment advertisement. The summary on the ISRO careers site still shows the earlier date and describes the field as online submission. The detailed notice gives the actual filing instructions, including ordinary post for the signed form.
ISRO HSFC Medical Officer vacancies by post code
- 01, General Medicine: One vacancy. The notice lists an MD or DNB in General Medicine or Internal Medicine, with MBBS as a prerequisite.
- 02, Physiology: One vacancy. The listed specialty qualification is an MD in Physiology, with MBBS as a prerequisite.
- 03, Aerospace Medicine: Two vacancies. The notice lists an MD in Aerospace Medicine, with MBBS as a prerequisite.
All four are advertised as unreserved Group A posts at Level 11 of the pay matrix. The selection route in the notice is screening followed by interview. The advertised duties vary by specialty. Someone choosing where to apply should read the duty outline as well as the qualification table. It explains how each position fits into work supporting human spaceflight.
What November 8 still means for eligibility
If a required qualification was awarded after November 8, sending the form during the extension does not move the date on which the qualification is assessed. Use the date on your documents and compare it with the cutoff stated in the extension. For a qualification obtained abroad, the detailed notice describes the evidence required for equivalence. Read the applicable conditions before paying the fee.
Apply using the post code that matches your training. If you are eligible for more than one code, the advertisement calls for separate applications. Keep the corresponding documents and fee receipt with each packet so that the recruitment team can match them to the right position.
Check the particulars in the form against your proof before you print. If the degree certificate and the marksheet give dates in different formats, record the dates exactly where the form asks for them. Applicants should also make sure the typed form leaves enough room to read the address and post code. Keep the original documents accessible in case HSFC asks to see them at the screening or interview stage.
How to submit the application and fee
- Download Annexure I from the ISRO recruitment page. Type the form and sign the printed copy.
- Check the supporting documents listed in the advertisement. Pay the ₹750 upfront fee via BharatKosh using the instructions in the notice and attach the receipt.
- Mark the sealed envelope with the Medical Officer ‘SD’ position and post code. Use the address for the HSFC Recruitment Section, Doddanekundi, Bengaluru 560037, given in the advertisement.
- Send it by ordinary post with time for it to reach HSFC by November 22. Keep a copy of the full packet and payment receipt.
The advertisement ties refunds to attending the interview. It provides for a full refund for eligible fee-exempt candidates who attend and a ₹500 refund for other candidates who attend. Check the exemption conditions in the official notice before submitting.
If you are applying this week, start with the documents and the postal timetable. Payment alone does not submit the form. The signed packet and receipt both matter. Find other recruitment notices in Bootpoot’s careers coverage, where each opening has its own application method and deadline.
