Total: 22. Post Code 69 is not used in the notice.
There is no all-India zone table. Posting for this advertisement is the IPRC campus at Mahendragiri.
What Is the Age Limit?
Age limits, category-wise ceilings and the reckoning date are not specified in Advertisement No. IPRC/RMT/2026/01 as published in Employment News. Do not assume 18–35 years from other ISRO centres.
SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen relaxation, if any, will follow the detailed advertisement and applicable Government of India rules. Read that PDF before you treat any number as final.
Examples cannot be dated until the detailed notice prints a maximum age and a cut-off date.
Use our Age Eligibility Calculator once those two figures are published.
No separate domicile bar is printed. This is a Department of Space recruitment at one Tamil Nadu campus, not a Tamil Nadu state-service drive.
What Is the Technical Assistant Salary in Mahendragiri?
IPRC has printed 7th CPC matrix levels on short notice. Mahendragiri is treated here as a Z-class station (10% HRA). DA is taken at about 55% of basic, which is the central rate used for 2026 estimates. Actual take-home depends on the DA order then in force, NPS and any departmental allowances.
| Post | Pay Level | Basic (entry) | Indicative gross | Indicative in-hand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Assistant | Level-7 ₹44,900–₹1,42,400 | ₹44,900 | ~₹76,000–₹80,000 | ~₹68,000–₹74,000 |
| Technician ‘B’ | Level-3 ₹21,700–₹69,100 | ₹21,700 | ~₹36,000–₹39,000 | ~₹32,000–₹36,000 |
| Cook ‘A’ / Fireman ‘A’ | Level-2 ₹19,900–₹63,200 | ₹19,900 | ~₹33,000–₹36,000 | ~₹29,000–₹33,000 |
Claim and proof: in hand is basic + DA ~55% + HRA 10% + transport, minus NPS (~10% of basic + DA) and a small CGHS/misc slice. Gross is always higher than net. Run the numbers on the 7th CPC Salary Calculator. Figures are indicative, not an offer letter.
Department of Space staff typically also receive CHSS medical cover and canteen access after joining. The short notice does not list hostel or transport as a guaranteed facility.
What Is the Application Fee?
The application fee by category is not specified in the Employment News short notice. Ignore fee tables copied from other ISRO units with unrelated post numbers.
Pay only through the official IPRC payment step after 15 September 2026. Never send money to a private number or agent.
How to Apply?
Applications are online only through the IPRC portal. The short notice mentions no offline or email route.
- Open the IPRC careers/recruitment page from 15 September 2026. If the apply button is still missing, wait for the detailed advertisement on the same page. Do not invent a PDF URL.
- Register with a working mobile number and email. Save the registration number.
- Select one post code that matches your exact diploma branch or ITI trade. First Class is mandatory for every Technical Assistant code.
- Upload photograph and signature in the portal size. Use the Photo & Signature Resizer so the file is not rejected.
- Fireman ‘A’ must upload the Preliminary Medical Examination Certificate in the same session.
- Cook ‘A’ should keep a hotel/canteen experience letter ready for the skill test. Individual letters are not accepted.
- Submit before 05 October 2026 and download the acknowledgement.
If the detailed notice allows more than one post in a single form, follow that wording. Until then, treat each post code as a separate choice.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying for Technical Assistant with a Second Class diploma. The notice says First Class.
- Uploading an SCVT-only ITI card when the notice names NTC or NAC from NCVT.
- Fireman candidates who skip the preliminary medical upload and plan to “submit it at PET”.
- Cook candidates who bring a letter signed by a home cook or a relative instead of a hotel or canteen.
- Paying a fee quoted on a third-party page before IPRC publishes its own fee table.

How Are Technical Assistants and Technicians Selected?
Selection is a chain of stages, not a single mark. The short notice does not print paper-wise marks, duration or negative marking.
The typical Department of Space pattern for these designations (confirm from the detailed advertisement) is:
- Online application and eligibility screening
- Written test (CBT or OMR) for Technical Assistant and Technician ‘B’
- Skill/trade test where the trade needs a practical check
- Physical fitness standards and medical for Fireman ‘A’
- Document verification and final medical
- Appointment subject to character and roster checks
No interview stage is named in the current short notice. Do not prepare for a board interview unless the detailed advertisement adds one.
Cook ‘A’: skill test is named. The experience or skill certificate must be issued by a well-established hotel or canteen. Certificates from individuals will not be accepted.
Fireman ‘A’: prescribed Physical Fitness Standards apply. The Preliminary Medical Examination Certificate must be uploaded with the online form.
Exam Pattern (Tentative — not printed in this short notice): paper structure, subjects and negative marking will follow the detailed advertisement. Previous IPRC cycles used a written paper plus a qualifying skill test. Treat that only as history.
Physical Standards for Fireman ‘A’
Fireman ‘A’ is a uniformed campus fire post. PET/PST is mandatory even though the short notice does not print height, chest or run timings.
| Event | Standard in this notice |
|---|---|
| Physical Fitness Standards | Must be satisfied as prescribed |
| Preliminary Medical Examination Certificate | Upload with the online application |
| Exact height/chest / run/carry events | Not printed in the short notice; announced in the detailed advertisement or call letter |
Use the Physical Standards Calculator after IPRC publishes numbers. Do not train to another centre’s Fireman table and assume it will match.
PwBD alert: only Technician ‘B’ (Machinist) is identified for Orthopaedic Handicap in this notice. Fireman ‘A’ and the other trades are not listed as PwBD-identified here.
Why Does ISRO IPRC Mahendragiri Matter?
ISRO Propulsion Complex is the Department of Space test hub for earth-storable and cryogenic engines that fly on ISRO launch vehicles. The campus sits at Mahendragiri in Tirunelveli District and handles assembly, integration and hot tests that other centres cannot run at this scale. Candidates searching ISRO IPRC jobs, IPRC Mahendragiri vacancy and space-centre technician bharti are usually aiming at this workshop-and-test environment, not a city desk.
Work is shift-heavy around test stands, propellant systems and fire cover. Housing in the hills is limited compared with Bengaluru or Chennai ISRO units. That isolation is the honest downside: the posting is attractive for trade skill and central pay, less so if you need a metro transfer in year one.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
Compared with ISRO ISTRAC’s mid-2026 Technical Assistant and Technician window (already closed) and the larger SDSC SHAR multi-post CBT cycle, IPRC Mahendragiri 2026 is a tight 22-seat campus drive. You apply to one propulsion test complex, not to a pool that can send you to any ISRO unit on day one.
Best fit: First Class diploma holders in the three listed branches, NCVT ITI Fitters and Machinists who can live at Mahendragiri, and Ex-Servicemen targeting the reserved Fitter or Fireman slice.
Skip this if you hold a related diploma that is not named (for example, Civil or Computer Science), you only have SCVT papers, or you want a Bengaluru or Hyderabad first posting.
Practical tip: Bookmark iprc.gov.in/careers.html for 15 September 2026 and download the detailed advertisement the day it appears. Age, fee and the written-test scheme are the three fields still missing. Filling the form from aggregator tables alone is how candidates pick the wrong post code.
Timeline from similar Department of Space technical drives is often six to ten months from application to joining. Growth on the technical side is Technician ‘B’ to Technician ‘C’ / Technical Assistant to Technical Officer through departmental promotion, not an instant Group A jump.
What Documents Are Required for Mahendragiri ISRO Jobs?
Keep scans ready before 15 September 2026:
- SSLC / Matric mark list and certificate
- Diploma mark list showing First Class, or ITI NTC / NAC from NCVT
- Recent photograph and signature
- Category certificate (SC / ST / OBC-NCL / EWS) in the central format
- PwBD-OH certificate if applying to Machinist
- Discharge book and ESM documents if claiming the Fitter or Fireman ESM seat
- Cook: hotel or canteen experience letter covering five years
- Fireman: Preliminary Medical Examination Certificate
- Photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, voter card or passport)
- NOC readiness if you already serve in government
Document alert: Cook letters from individuals are expressly invalid. Fireman medical must travel with the application, not in a later email.
Service Conditions
The short notice does not print probation months, bond or “temporary but likely to continue” wording. Department of Space technical posts at IPRC have historically been 7th CPC cadre posts with NPS. Confirm the appointment nature, probation and transfer liability from the detailed advertisement and the offer letter.
No facility (hostel, transport, subsidised canteen) is guaranteed in the current notice.
What Happens After Selection?
- IPRC publishes the written-test shortlist and call letters on the careers page.
- You attend the skill test, trade test or Fireman physical and medical as named for your code.
- Document verification checks First Class / NCVT / hotel letter / ESM or PwBD proof against the roster.
- A final medical and character verification follows before the appointment order.
- Joining is at IPRC Mahendragiri. Expect induction on workshop, test-stand or fire-station duty rather than a metro office.
- Confirmation depends on probation rules in the offer letter. Promotion thereafter is departmental, not automatic.

FAQs – ISRO IPRC Technical Assistant 2026
What is the last date to apply for IPRC Technical Assistant 2026?
05 October 2026. Online entry is scheduled from 15 September 2026 on iprc.gov.in. No extension has been announced. The exact closing time is not in the short notice, so do not wait until the final hour.
What is the age limit for IPRC Technical Assistant?
Not printed in the Employment News short notice. Do not copy 18–35 years from another ISRO centre. Read the detailed advertisement for the maximum age, cut-off date and category relaxation before you apply.
Is there an exam for IPRC Technician B, or is it interview-based?
A written test plus skill or physical stages is the expected Department of Space pattern, but this short notice does not include the paper scheme. No interview is mentioned. Cooks face a skill test. Fireman faces physical standards and a pre-medical upload.
What is the salary of an IPRC Technical Assistant?
Level-7 basic is ₹44,900. At Mahendragiri (Z-class HRA estimate), the indicative in-hand is about ₹68,000–₹74,000 per month after DA and NPS. Technician ‘B’ is Level-3. Cook and Fireman are Level-2. Use the 7th CPC calculator; the offer letter wins.
Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for IPRC 2026?
The short notice does not say final-year students may apply. Safer reading: the First Class diploma or NCVT ITI should already be in hand when you submit. Confirm the exact qualification date from the detailed advertisement.
Is IPRC Technical Assistant a permanent government job?
These are Department of Space posts on 7th CPC levels. The short notice does not print “permanent” or “temporary but likely to continue.” Treat them as regular central technical cadre posts and read the appointment order for NPS, probation and transfer rules.
Can candidates from other states apply for IPRC recruitment?
Yes. No Tamil Nadu domicile lock is printed. The job itself is at Mahendragiri. Other-state applicants should be ready to live on that campus, not in Chennai.
Where will I be posted if I get selected for IPRC Technician B?
At ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri, Tirunelveli District. This advertisement is not an all-India posting pool. Later transfer to another ISRO centre, if any, follows Department of Space rules after joining.
Is GATE required for IPRC Technical Assistant posts?
No. These Technical Assistant seats ask for a First Class diploma in the named branch. GATE-based Scientist/Engineer ‘SC’ drives are a different Department of Space advertisement.
Do Fireman A candidates need the medical certificate before applying?
Yes. The short notice says Fireman ‘A’ applicants must upload a Preliminary Medical Examination Certificate with the online application and must meet prescribed physical fitness standards.
What are the disadvantages of working at IPRC Mahendragiri?
Worth knowing before you apply: the campus is a hill test site, not a metro ISRO office. Housing, schools and evening life are thinner than in Bengaluru or Chennai. Test-stand and fire duties can run in shifts. Pay is Central 7th CPC, which is the trade-off.
What is the career growth for an ISRO technician after joining?
The typical Department of Space path is Technician ‘B’ to higher technician grades, and Technical Assistant toward Technical Officer, through seniority and departmental tests. This notice does not print a promotion calendar. Confirm from the service rules after joining.
Is a space-centre diploma job worth it compared with a PSU technician post?
It depends on posting tolerance. IPRC gives propulsion-test exposure and central allowances at one Tamil Nadu campus. A Navratna plant job may offer a larger city and IDA pay. If you want engine-test work and can stay at Mahendragiri, this 22-seat window is the live one after ISTRAC’s 2026 close.
Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?
- Your diploma is First Class in a listed branch, or your ITI NTC/NAC is from NCVT in the listed trade.
- You accept a Mahendragiri posting, not a metro ISRO office.
- Fireman applicants have the preliminary medical scan ready to upload.
- Cook applicants have a hotel or canteen letter, not a personal certificate.
- You will wait for the detailed advertisement on iprc.gov.in for age, fee and exam scheme before treating aggregator numbers as final.
- You can submit online between 15 September 2026 and 05 October 2026.
