ISRO URSC Recruitment 2026 Closes November 13: How to Apply
ISRO URSC recruitment 2026 closes on Friday, November 13, at 11:55 p.m. The U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru is accepting online applications for Technician-B and three driver roles under advertisement URSC:04:2026. The fee payment deadline is also November 13. If you have already registered, check whether you completed the application and payment before assuming your form is in.
Start with the official ISRO recruitment page. It links to both the detailed bilingual advertisement and the application portal. The centre describes the posts as temporary but likely to continue.
ISRO URSC recruitment 2026 eligibility by post code
The recruitment notice divides Technician-B positions into post codes 01 to 08. Each code has its own trade and minimum qualifications. Look for the row that matches the wording of your trade certificate, then read the qualification and reservation columns on the same row. For example, the electroplater row calls for a matriculation-equivalent pass and a specified NCVT trade qualification. A similar-sounding training course is only useful if it meets the published criteria.
Driver roles use post codes 09 to 11 and cover Light Vehicle Driver-A, Staff Car Driver-A and Heavy Vehicle Driver-A. Check the licence category, experience and any badge requirement for the specific role. Someone who has driven a light vehicle for work should verify which experience the notice counts before choosing between the two light-vehicle-related job titles.
The notice gives a standard age range of 18 to 35 for these codes as of November 13 and explains the applicable relaxations. It lists Technician-B at pay level 3 with ₹21,700 per month plus admissible allowances, and driver roles at pay level 2. Check the bilingual advertisement for the eligibility details that apply to you.
How to apply before the November 13 deadline
- Open the application link from the ISRO recruitment page and confirm the advertisement number.
- Choose the correct post code. Keep the required qualification and experience certificates ready, along with any category documents that apply to you.
- Check spellings, dates, contact information and uploaded documents before final submission. ISRO says you cannot edit an application after you submit it.
- Follow the portal’s payment instructions and confirm the transaction went through. Save the registration number, application copy and payment record.
Do these steps early enough to deal with a failed payment or an unreadable document. ISRO specifically advises candidates with pending or failed transactions to contact their bank and confirm successful payment. A bank debit on its own leaves you without a clear record of whether the recruitment portal accepted the fee.
How the ₹500 fee and refunds work
The notice asks candidates to pay ₹500 upfront per application. The standard non-refundable portion is ₹100. Candidates who attend the written test can receive ₹400 back under the usual rule. Eligible fee-exempt applicants, including women and candidates in the specified SC, ST, disability or ex-servicemen groups, can receive the full amount back if they attend, subject to the notice conditions. Candidates who miss the written test are ineligible for the refund.
If you are comparing more than one role, build a small checklist for each post code before registering. Write down the qualification, the proof you have, and whether your documents were issued by the required date. That makes it easier to spot a missing certificate before you pay.
What to check after applying
Keep the original certificates for later verification. The advertisement describes screening, a written test and a skill test for candidates who advance. Meeting the minimum qualification alone does not guarantee a call for the written test. Use the ISRO careers page for any correction, schedule or call-letter update tied to this advertisement number. For other openings, see Bootpoot’s careers coverage and check each notice for its own closing date.
