Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating this as an “apply online” portal drive. There is no application website beyond downloading the form.
- Emailing a free-format CV instead of the prescribed USO/PRL form for that seat.
- Sending several attachments instead of one PDF, or mailing a different address.
- Engineers applying for Office Trainee, which the table bars in plain words.
- Applying after already completing, or while still on, a similar PRL / observatory traineeship.

How Are Candidates Selected?
Selection in Advt. No. 14/2026 is a two-step process, not appointment on the email alone.
- Scrutiny/shortlisting of the prescribed form and attached copies against advertised norms.
- Skill test for shortlisted candidates only. Intimation goes to that shortlist. No written-exam pattern, syllabus, marks or interview stage is printed.
No interview stage is mentioned in the current notification. Selection after the skill test is subject to document verification of originals on the test day. USO/PRL’s decision is final and binding. USO/PRL reserves the right to cancel the announced skill test process.
Physical standards are not specified in this notification.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This is a one-year Department of Space lab traineeship at a working solar observatory, not a cadre recruitment. The notice itself closes the absorption door. Compare that with what you actually want next year: a time-bound stipend and observatory exposure, or a regular central/state vacancy with a published pay matrix.
Best fit: diploma or B.E./B.Tech holders in Electronics & Communications, Electrical or Mechanical, and M.Sc (Physics / Electronics) candidates who can live in Udaipur for a year and want telescope-floor experience; graduates (non-engineer) targeting the office seat; MA Hindi / MA English candidates who already do translation work.
Who should walk past this notice: anyone treating the stipend as a backdoor into PRL or ISRO regular service; engineers aiming at the Office Trainee row; candidates who already used a similar PRL traineeship.
Practical tip: Fill the form that matches one seat, name that seat in the email, and put every listed certificate in the same PDF. A second, cleaner email after a botched first attachment still has to arrive by 14 October 2026.

What Documents Are Required?
Attach self-attested scans with the form (single PDF), and carry originals plus one self-attested set to the skill test if called:
- Date of birth proof
- Essential educational qualification certificates / marksheets
- Caste certificate (if applicable)
- Disability certificate (if applicable)
- Experience certificate (if applicable)
On the skill-test day, originals for every particular entered in the form must be produced for verification.
What Happens After Selection?
- Only the shortlisted names are informed of the skill-test schedule.
- Those candidates attend the test with originals and a self-attested photocopy set. Outstation candidates can claim sleeper-class or ordinary-bus TA on ticket copies.
- If selected, engagement is as a trainee for one year at Udaipur Solar Observatory on the printed stipend for that seat.
- The advertisement states the positions are purely temporary, trainees are not treated on par with regular USO/PRL employees, and there is no right to claim absorption or regularisation.
Joining date, bond, leave, and hostel terms are not specified in the notification.

FAQs – PRL Udaipur Trainee Recruitment 2026
What is the last date to apply for PRL Udaipur trainee seats 2026?
14 October 2026. Email the prescribed form and documents to recruit@prl.res.in by that date. No extension is printed in the Advt. No. 14/2026 as of 30 September 2026.
What is the age limit for PRL Telescope Operator Trainee?
18 to 28 years as of 14 October 2026 for Telescope Operator Trainee and Office Trainee. Hindi Translator Trainee is 18 to 35 years as on the same date. Relaxation follows GOI rules; the notice does not print finished category-wise ages.
Is there an exam for these PRL trainee seats, or is it interview-based?
No written paper and no interview are printed. The laboratory shortlists from the emailed form, then calls those shortlisted for a skill test. Venue and date are intimated later to those names only.
What is the stipend of PRL Udaipur trainee seats?
₹23,500 per month for Office Trainee, ₹28,000 for Telescope Operator Trainee and ₹29,000 for Hindi Translator Trainee, as printed. This is a one-year traineeship stipend, not a regular pay-matrix salary.
Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for PRL 2026?
The advertisement does not name final-year or result-awaited applicants. Essential qualification documents are required with the form, and norms must be fulfilled. Do not assume eligibility if the qualifying exam is still pending.
Is PRL Udaipur trainee a permanent government job?
This is a Job Trainee engagement with a fixed one-year stipend. It is not a permanent post at this stage. The notice says the seats are purely temporary and give no right to absorption or regularisation. It does not use the phrase “permanent government job.”
Can candidates from other states apply for this recruitment?
Yes. Advt. No. 14/2026 does not print a Rajasthan-domicile condition. Posting, if selected, is at the Udaipur Solar Observatory premises named in the notice.
Where will I be posted if selected for these trainee seats?
At Udaipur Solar Observatory, Dewali, Badi Road, Udaipur – 313001. The advertisement frames the programme “for its premises at Udaipur Solar Observatory.” No other station is listed in this notice.
Do I need GATE for this PRL traineeship?
No. GATE is not mentioned. Telescope Operator Trainee is tied to the printed diploma / B.E./B. Tech / M.Sc route and a skill test after shortlisting.
What should I know before applying?
Here’s the catch: the same advertisement that opens the four seats also states that they are purely temporary and do not lead to permanent absorption in PRL or its observatories. Apply if a one-year stipend and USO exposure are the goal, not if you need a cadre vacancy.
