Can u tell me plzzz Is there OBC or other caste wise reservation in ISRO ? Because I heard somewhere that there is no reservation. Is it true ????

Yes there is relaxation for the reserved categories in ISRO. It will mainly include SC/ST/OBC/PWD etc. and other categories also. But the relaxation may always depend on the type of post for which you have applied for. There may be reservations for some post. Even if you come under the reservation category, it is important that you need to produce the certificates for reservations accordingly.

all the best.

I am very glad to see that you are interested in working for ISRO the premier space research organization of India. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has made India proud by setting world record of maximum satellight launches and of course the Chandrayan space ship by India which has put us in a elite group of nations to send unmanned space mission in the orbit of the moon.

Getting a job in ISRO is extremely difficult. More than 150,000 people apply for job in ISRO for scientist however only 200-300 are selected every year. Therefore you can imagine how tough is the competition in ISRO. Now coming to your point of quota in jobs for Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe and Other Backward Classes in IRSO. You have heard it right, there is no reservation.

The government of India has exempted ISRO from any reservation for Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe and Other Backward Class for the posts of scientists. You may find reservation in other posts in ISRO but for the top job of scientist, there is no reservation. There have been protest demanding reservation in scientists job but government has refused to entertain any such plea. Not just ISRO but other Defence research organization like DRDO are also exempted from reservation for backward castes.

However there is some relaxation for reserved categories for applying in ISRO. For example there is relaxation on minimum percentage as well the upper age limit. But that's as far as ISRO goes to accomodate backward castes.

For a job in ISRO you will have to appear in written test exam. The dates and other details of exams are revealed by the ISRO around the months of February and March. The entire admission process along with dates of exam is mentioned in the job ad which is published on leading newspapers in India.

Reservation & talent are not inversely proportional. Talent for a particular job may have some relation to the marks obtained, but there are other factors too. We have seen this happening in the actual work place.
