What Posts Are Available? – LPSC Vacancy & Eligibility 2026
Three specialised Level-10 seats, one in each discipline. All three are printed as Unreserved. There is no category-wise reservation table in this advertisement.

|---|---|---|---|
| Scientist/Engineer-‘SC’ (Welding) – Post No. 820 | 1 | B.E./B.Tech (Mechanical / Production / Metallurgy / Manufacturing / Material Science) AND M.E./M.Tech (Welding Technology / Mechanical Welding and Sheet Metal Engg. / Manufacturing, Metallurgy or Production with welding as one of the subjects) | Level-10 |

The prescribed qualification must have been completed within the university’s stipulated course duration. Rounding off of marks is not allowed. Where the degree shows only CGPA or only percentage, that printed figure must itself meet the cut-off; converting CGPA to percentage is not permitted. Use our CGPA to Percentage Calculator only as an indicative check. The official formula in the notification prevails, and this notice does not allow conversion to decide eligibility.
Nature of work printed in the notice: Post 820 is R&D welding of aerospace alloys; Post 821 is design, CFD, testing and performance analysis of turbo machines on launch vehicles; Post 822 covers high-power converters for AEPS/EPS and drive electronics for high-power BLDC motors.
PwBD physical-requirement codes printed for these posts: BA, BL, BN, C, H, MF, RU, RW, S, SE, SP, ST. The advertisement does not print a separate PwBD vacancy quota.

What Is the Scientist Engineer Salary in Thiruvananthapuram?
Scientist/Engineer-‘SC’ is placed in Level-10 of the pay matrix: ₹56,100–₹1,77,500, as printed in Advertisement No. LPSC/03/2026.
The notice also lists medical facilities for self and dependants, a subsidised canteen, House Building Advance, Leave Travel Concession, National Pension System / Unified Pension Scheme, and other social security measures as per Central Government orders.
Indicative starting illustration for Valiamala (Y-class HRA city; DA taken at 60% effective 1 January 2026, last confirmed in the generation brief dated 28 September 2026):
| Component | Indicative amount |
|---|---|
| Basic (Level-10 start) | ₹56,100 |
| DA @ 60% of basic | ₹33,660 |
| HRA @ 20% of basic (Y-class) | ₹11,220 |
| Transport Allowance (band used in central rules) | ₹3,600 |
| Indicative gross | ~₹1,04,580 |
| NPS (10% of basic + DA) + misc. | ~₹9,000–₹10,000 |
| Indicative in-hand | ~₹94,000–₹96,000/month |
₹94,000–₹96,000/month (basic ₹56,100 + DA 60% + HRA 20% for Thiruvananthapuram as a Y-class city + TA band, minus NPS). This is an indicative figure, not an offer letter. Actual in-hand depends on the DA rate in force, HRA classification in the appointment order, and deductions.
Use the 7th CPC Salary Calculator for a fresh run when DA changes. Career advancement for scientific/technical staff is through ISRO’s Merit Promotion Scheme: review after a prescribed residency period, promotion on merit, without waiting for a vacancy.
What Is the Application Fee?
Every applicant first pays ₹750.
| Category | What you pay now | What is refunded | What is kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| Female / SC / ST / PwBD / Ex-servicemen | ₹750 | Full ₹750 | Nil |
| Other candidates | ₹750 | ₹500 | ₹250 |
Refund is online and only if you appear for the written test. Enter the correct bank name, account number and IFSC in the form. LPSC will not own refund disputes if those details are wrong.
SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-servicemen must upload the relevant certificate for the refund. UR/OBC/EWS women need not upload a certificate for the female refund.
Pay online immediately after submission, or later through Make Payment on the portal, by 2:00 PM on 14 October 2026. No other payment mode is accepted. After a failed attempt, wait 30 minutes before retrying. Bank or gateway charges are extra.
How to Apply?
Applications are online only. Do not post printouts, certificates or receipts to LPSC after registration.
- Open the LPSC Recruitment – Results & Notices page and the LPSC homepage. Use the online recruitment portal link for Advertisement No. LPSC/03/2026 when it is enabled (from 2:00 PM on 29 September 2026).
- Register and note the online registration number. LPSC will not re-issue it on query.
- Fill one form per post code. Upload mark sheets and certificates for the essential B.E./B. Tech and M.E./M.Tech qualifications.
- Upload the photograph in the printed size. Use our Photo & Signature Resizer so the file is JPG/JPEG, 95–100 pixels, and under 40 KB.
- Enter bank details for fee refund. Pay ₹750 online by 2:00 PM on 14 October 2026.
- Submit and save the acknowledgement. National Career Service (NCS) registrants follow the same LPSC portal steps.
Serving staff in Central/State Government, PSUs or autonomous bodies must apply after informing the present employer. Produce the original NOC at the interview, or when LPSC/ISRO asks. No original NOC at interview means you are not allowed to sit the interview.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filing one form for Welding, Turbo Machinery and Power Electronics. The notice wants a separate application for each post.
- Treating a dual/integrated CGPA as interchangeable without reading Note E of the advertisement (separate vs common CGPA rules differ).
- Converting CGPA to percentage when the degree prints only CGPA. That conversion is barred.
- Uploading a cropped or dark photograph. Invalid photo = invalid application.
- Skipping bank details and then expecting the written-test refund.

How Are Candidates Selected?
The Selection process consists of (1) a written test and (2) a personal interview for all posts.

- Personal Interview (100 marks). Questions may be answered in Hindi.
- Final panel from candidates who clear both stages, using 50% written + 50% interview.
No travelling allowance is paid for the written test. Outstation candidates called for interview get to-and-fro Second Class rail fare by the shortest route on production of the ticket, if they are not using the railway concession for the journey.
Written test pattern
| Part | What it tests | Duration | Marks | Question type | Negative marking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part-A | Area/discipline specific | 75 minutes | 60 | 60 MCQs | Yes — +1, −1/3 |
| Part-B | Aptitude/ability (numerical, logical, diagrammatic, abstract and deductive reasoning) | 30 minutes | 20 | Maximum 15 MCQs | No |
| Part-C | Descriptive technical questions in the advertised specialisation | 30 minutes | 20 | Descriptive | Not stated as negative |
| Total | 100 |
Qualifying marks
| Stage | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Written test | 50% in each of Part A, B and C |
| Interview | 50 / 100 |
| Aggregate | 60% |
Tie-break on the final panel, applied in this order: (a) written-test marks; (b) marks in the essential M.E./M.Tech qualification; (c) date of birth, older candidate placed higher.
LPSC may hold examinations for two or more posts at the same time. The Centre may also leave a post unfilled. Canvassing is a disqualification.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This is a three-seat, dual-degree filter for propulsion work at Valiamala, not a broad BE campus drive. The closest alternative a candidate usually compares is the ISRO ICRB Scientist/Engineer-‘SC’ advertisement for Electronics, Mechanical and Computer Science, which is a B.E./B. Tech-only route with a 28-year age cap in that notice. LPSC/03/2026 instead demands a matching M.E./M. Tech and sets the age cap at 30 years as of 13 October 2026.
Best fit: M.E./M.Tech holders who already sit inside the exact stream lists (welding as a named subject, turbo-machinery as a named subject, or the listed power-electronics degrees) and who can defend that specialisation in a 20-mark descriptive paper plus interview.
Who should walk past this one: BE-only applicants waiting for an ICRB-style paper; anyone whose PG title is adjacent but does not match the printed list; candidates who cannot accept an all-India transfer after joining Valiamala.

Practical tip: Map your mark sheets to Post 820, 821 or 822 before you pay. If welding or turbo-machinery is not visible as a subject on the M.E./M. Tech transcript, treat that code as closed for you and get written clarification from LPSC rather than assuming “allied” will pass screening.

Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for LPSC 2026?
The notice says only those who possess the required qualifications as on 13 October 2026 need to apply. It does not name “final-year” as a permitted category. Treat an incomplete essential degree as outside this wording unless LPSC confirms otherwise in writing.
Is LPSC Scientist Engineer a permanent government job?
