How To Become Scientist In ISRO

Responsibilities of a Space Scientist

Scientists are deeply involved in the study of the universe in the domain of space science. The engineering course or the science course is what an individual must pursue in order to become a space scientist at ISRO.

ISRO believes it is important to recruit professionals capable of working in the scientific, industrial, or civil engineering fields who have a master's degree or a degree in either Astronomy, Physics, Mathematics or a similar field

Steps how to become a Space Scientist In ISRO

Young minds who want to become scientists with the Indian Space Research Organisation should follow a career path that features all of the necessary subjects in order to become successful.

ISRO generally recruits candidates who have received a competent program of knowledge and possess the necessary competences in subjects such as physics, astronomy, and mathematics, either directly by means of the Core Recruitment Board examination or indirectly by means of the CRC examination.

As a scientific employee in ISRO, you should be familiar with the following educational requirements and specialisations in order to become a successful scientist:

• Step 1:
  Students must make sure that they are qualified for admission by studying the basic subjects required of all candidates for the MPC at the secondary level (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry), at the very least up to the level of the 10 plus 2.
  
  It should be emphasised that they should be able to display excellent aptitude and have sound knowledge with regard to both mathematical and physical concepts that are taught to them.
  
  
• Step 2:
  In the event that the student has achieved an outstanding grade point average or percentage (above 75%) while studying for his or her higher secondary school diploma,
  
  He or she may apply for a branch of engineering as his/her specialisation through JEE Advanced and JEE Mains.
  
  
• Step 3:
  In order to become a scientist in ISRO, after finishing the Btech/BE degree, it is the third step in the process of becoming a scientist.
  
  If you want to apply for this job, you have to take the ISRO Centralised Recruitment Board (ICRB) examination.
  
  If individuals intend to write this exam, they are required to hold a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) or Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Electronics, Computer Science, or Mechanical, or equivalent courses.
  
  65% overall marks, or 6.8 on a 10-point scale, are considered average. Candidates who have passed the exam will have to appear in a written interview as well as a written test to be able to secure a job with the organisation.
  
  
• Step 4:
  University Scholar Program (USP), ISRO's most recent initiative, has also introduced another way for those who studied (or plan to study) a related area of study to obtain a position at ISRO, namely Masters degrees in the related area (Master of Science, Masters of Engineering, Master of Technology, or Doctorate in Engineering).

How to become space scientist after 12th

Whenever you decided to get job in ISRO as a Scientist after completing Class 12, one of the most important things you have to do is to apply for admission to one of the most renowned universities in India - the IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology).
