About This Recruitment
ISRO National Remote Sensing Centre has notified recruitment for 48 posts under NRSC/RMT/1/2026. Applications are accepted online from 01 Aug 2026 to 21 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is A BE, B.Tech, M.Sc., ME or M.Tech depending on the post, with at least 60 to 65% marks or a CGPA of 6.5 to 6.84. The vacancies are spread across 6 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Screening of applications, Interview and Document verification. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹31,000 to ₹56,100 a month plus house rent allowance, depending on the post. The place of posting is Hyderabad and Shadnagar, with regional centres at Delhi, Bengaluru, Nagpur, Kolkata and Jodhpur.
The application fee is ₹250, non-refundable for General and OBC. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
