ISRO recruits Technical Assistants across various technical centers through diploma-level examinations[cite: 18]. This position is highly sought after by polytechnic diploma holders in Electronics, Mechanical, Computer Science, and Civil Engineering[cite: 18].
1. Syllabus & Exam Structure
The written examination tests technical competence aligned with 3-year diploma curricula[cite: 18]:
- Core Technical Subjects: Questions focus on practical workshop practices, machine drawings, basic electronics, circuit design, material science, and fluid mechanics depending on your branch[cite: 18].
- Standard Objective Format: Multiple-choice questions test both theoretical definitions and direct numerical problem-solving typical of state board polytechnic exams[cite: 18].
2. Skill Test / Practical Assessment
Candidates clearing the written test are called for a skill test, which is qualifying in nature[cite: 18]:
- Workshop & Lab Proficiency: Evaluates hands-on abilities such as soldering, component testing, machine tool operation, or technical drafting[cite: 18]. Accuracy and safety adherence are paramount[cite: 18].
