Why Did the ISRO CBT Date Change? – Simple Explanation

  • ISRO first fixed the CBT for 19 October 2026.
  • After that, the ISRO ICRB recruitment page showed that the exam was postponed to 29 October 2026. Many websites (Adda247, FreeJobAlert, GovtJobsAlert and others) report the same.
  • The sources I read do not give a reason for the postponement.
  • If you made travel or leave plans for 19 October, please update them now.
  • Ignore any old post that still shows 19 October as the exam date.

Admit Card Problems? Easy Fixes

Problem What to Do
Forgot user ID or password Check your registration email and SMS from the application stage. Use the ‘forgot password’ option if the login page gives one.
Page is slow or not opening Many candidates log in on release day. Try again early in the morning or late at night.
Wrong name, photo or discipline Report the mistake to ICRB through the contact details on the official recruitment page. Do it today, not on the exam day.
Admit card not visible Make sure you are looking at the correct advertisement (ISRO:ICRB:03(EMC):2026). If you did not complete your application, you may not get a hall ticket.

ISRO Scientist/Engineer ‘SC’ Vacancy 2026 – Discipline-Wise

Post Code / Discipline Vacancies
BE001 – Electronics (ISRO Centres) 99
BE002 – Mechanical (ISRO Centres) 52
BE003 – Computer Science (ISRO Centres) 21
BE001A – Electronics (PRL) 1

Total 175

Discipline totals: Electronics 100 + Mechanical 53 + Computer Science 22 = 175. Karmasandhan notes the 175 vacancies include backlog posts. Vacancies are provisional and can change as per ISRO.

ISRO Scientist/Engineer Selection Process – 3 Stages Explained

  1. Written Test / Computer Based Test (CBT): held on 29 October 2026 at exam centres.
  2. Personal Interview: candidates are shortlisted in a 1:5 ratio. That means about 5 candidates are called for every 1 vacancy.
  3. Document Verification: you must show original documents to prove your details.
  • Each discipline is judged on its own, so you compete with candidates of your discipline.
  • Your CBT score decides whether you reach the interview.
  • The answer key is expected within 3 working days after the CBT (as per Karmasandhan).
  • Interview and DV dates will be announced by ISRO. Keep checking the official site.

ISRO CBT Exam Pattern 2026 – As Reported by One Website

I could not open the official notification PDF. One website (SarkariJob) reports the pattern below. Please match it with the official notification and your hall ticket.

Part Details
Part A – Discipline specific 80 MCQs | 80 marks | 90 minutes | +1 for correct, -1/3 for wrong, 0 for not attempted
Part B – Aptitude / ability test Up to 15 MCQs | 20 marks | 30 minutes | No negative marking
Total 100 marks

If this matches your notification, remember the 1/3 mark cut: 3 wrong answers cancel 1 correct answer. Attempt Part A carefully, and attempt Part B fully since it has no negative marking.

7-Day Last Week Plan (22 – 29 October) – Our Simple Suggestion

This plan is made by us to help you. It is not an official plan. In the last week, do not start new big topics. Revise, practise and stay calm.

Day What to Do
22 Oct (Today) Download and print the hall ticket. Check centre and time. Book travel and stay. List your 8-10 weakest topics.
23 Oct Revise core subjects of your discipline. Solve 40-50 MCQs in timed mode.
24 Oct Revise a second group of subjects. Write short formula notes.
25 Oct Take a full mock test (80 questions in 90 minutes). Check every wrong answer.
26 Oct Work on weak topics from the mock. Do aptitude / reasoning practice for 1 hour.
27 Oct Take a second full mock. Practise time management: about one minute per question in Part A.
28 Oct Light revision of short notes. Pack documents. Sleep early.
29 Oct Reach the centre early. Stay calm. Attempt only what you are sure about in Part A.

Core Subjects to Revise Discipline-Wise (General Guide, Not Official Syllabus)

The official syllabus is in the ISRO notification. The list below shows common B.E./B.Tech core subjects to help you revise. Use it only as a quick checklist.

Discipline Common Core Subjects to Revise
Electronics Network theory, analog and digital electronics, signals and systems, control systems, communication systems, electromagnetics, microprocessors and microcontrollers
Mechanical Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, theory of machines, machine design, heat transfer, manufacturing and production
Computer Science Data structures and algorithms, DBMS, operating systems, computer networks, computer organisation, theory of computation, compilers, programming

Smart CBT Tips for Scientist/Engineer Candidates

  • Read each question fully before you click. Technical questions often hide small traps.
  • Solve easy questions first and come back to hard ones. Do not spend 5 minutes on one question.
  • Avoid blind guessing in the sections that have negative marking.
  • Practise on a computer screen. CBT feels different from paper.
  • Keep a simple pen-and-paper rough sheet strategy for calculations if the centre provides rough sheets.
  • Do not try new books or new topics in the last 3 days. Revise what you know.
  • Sleep 7 hours the night before. A fresh mind scores better.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not checking the exam city and reporting time early.
  • Carrying only a phone copy of the hall ticket.
  • Using the old exam date, 19 October, in your plans.
  • Forgetting the original ID proof.
  • Reaching the centre late due to traffic or a wrong route.
  • Ignoring errors on the hall ticket until the last day.

Stay Safe – Fake Link and Fake Job Alert

  • ISRO publishes recruitment updates only on isro.gov.in.
  • Do not enter your password on links received on WhatsApp, Telegram or SMS.
  • Nobody can get you selected for money. Do not pay anyone.
  • Dates and details can change. The official ISRO notice is final.

Exam Day Timeline – What to Do Hour by Hour (Our Suggestion)

Your exact reporting time is printed on your hall ticket. Use the plan below and change the clock times to match it.

Time What to Do
Night before (28 Oct) Pack the printed hall ticket, original photo ID, a spare photocopy and a pen. Keep a water bottle and a light snack ready. Charge your phone, but remember it may not be allowed inside.
Morning of the exam Eat a light breakfast. Do not try new food. Leave home earlier than needed so that traffic or a late bus does not hurt you.
At the centre gate Show your hall ticket and ID. Follow the security staff. Keep your documents in your hand, not at the bottom of the bag.
Before the test starts Sit at your assigned computer. Read the on-screen instructions fully. Check that the screen, mouse and keyboard work. Tell the invigilator at once if something is wrong.
During the test Keep an eye on the timer. Do not stay on one question for too long. Mark tough questions and come back to them.
In the last 10 minutes Check the questions you marked. Make sure you have not left easy questions blank. Submit only when you are done or when time is over.
After the test Do not discuss answers in panic. Wait for the official answer key, which is expected within 3 working days.

Travel and Stay Checklist for Outstation Candidates

  • Check your exam city and full centre address on the hall ticket today.
  • Book train or bus tickets now. Seats fill fast when many candidates travel for the same date.
  • If the centre is far, reach the city one day before and stay close to the centre.
  • Look at the route on a map once. Note the landmark near the centre.
  • Keep some cash for local travel in case of network or app problems.
  • Tell a family member your hall ticket details, so they can help if you lose your papers.
  • Carry a photocopy of the hall ticket and ID in a separate bag pocket.

After the CBT – What Happens Next and How to Prepare

  1. Answer key: Karmasandhan reports it will come within 3 working days after the CBT. Keep a note of your answers after the test, if the rules allow.
  2. Result and interview list: candidates are shortlisted for the interview in a 1:5 ratio. The dates are not announced yet.
  3. Interview preparation: The interview for a Scientist/Engineer post tests your own discipline. Revise your final-year project, internship work and core subjects and be ready to explain them in simple words.
  4. Know ISRO: Read about ISRO’s recent missions and the work of the centres. Interviewers often like candidates who show real interest in the organisation.
  5. Document Verification: Keep your degree certificate, marksheets, ID proof and category certificate (if needed) in one folder, original plus photocopies.
  6. Keep checking isro.gov.in and your registered email and phone for any message from ICRB.

Remember: Do not lose heart if the exam feels tough. The CBT is for shortlisting, and a strong interview and document stage still follow for those who qualify.
