Answer 1

Hi Kamlesh, the basic qualification to become a computer scientist at ISRO is Bachelor's Degree in engineering like BE/B.Tech or equivalent. Apart from that, there's a written test conducted by ISRO, which you need to clear. After that, there will be a face-to-face interview which you would also need to clear in order to get there. Your GATE exam score also holds important points if you are going on your graduation basis.

ISRO prefers candidates from aerospace engineering domain, although it doesn’t mean that good minds from any other engineering stream don’t stand a chance. Their selection criteria is fundamentally based on your knowledge and skills. ISRO selection process is unbiased and doesn't give any preference to elite technical institutions.
