About ISRO Technical Assistant

ISRO has no single national test for its Level 7 technical support posts: each centre, such as VSSC, SDSC SHAR, LPSC, IPRC, SAC, NRSC and PRL, advertises its own vacancies for Technical Assistant (first-class engineering diploma), Scientific Assistant (first-class B.Sc) and Library Assistant 'A', and runs its own objective written test followed by a qualifying skill test. Selection is on the written-test marks. The pattern below is from LPSC Advt. LPSC/02/2026 for Technical Assistant; centre advertisements found for Scientific Assistant and Library Assistant were not checked for their own pattern.
