I want to become a research scientist in ISRO.What I have to study after my 10th standard

Dear Aspirant,

ISRO stands for Indian Space and Research Organisation. It has its headquarters in Bangalore, Karnataka. It is responsible for research in space and extraterrestrial phenomenons and also for aeronautical exploration. You are basically looking forward to be a part of the brainpower of ISRO and aid them in new discoveries and breakthroughs as a scientist .

Lets look at what you need to do to achieve this.

Firstly, in your 10+2, your subjects must have been Maths and Physics and you must have a thorough knowledge of their basics.

If you get into Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, it will be easier for you to apply for the post of a scientist. Graduates of IIST with a minimum CGPA of 7.5 are directly absorbed into ISRO as Scientists/Engineers 'SC'.

ISRO recruits graduates and post-graduates from various colleges such as IIT, NIT and even other government and private institutions. It becomes important in such cases to have a course which is closer to ISRO's daily work. For example, the viable choices would be Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Radio Engineering and Engineering Physics. There are other vacancies as well.

If you pursue B.Tech., Then an exam called ICRB is conducted by ISRO for centralised recruitment. After clearing this exam and the interview, the candidate can be selected at the post of engineer or scientist at ISRO.

After the completion of M.Tech or PhD. in trades such as Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, Instrumentation, applied Mathematics, Geophysics, Geography or any other equivalent degree in the field of Physics or Mathematics one can apply directly for the job of a scientist at ISRO. The selection consists of written exam and Interview and after clearing these sages scientist/Engineer position can be obtained in ISRO.

Hope this helps. All the best!
