How to Check the ISRO Assistant, JPA Merit List
The result has been released online only, as a PDF containing the roll numbers of qualified candidates. There is no scorecard login for this stage, so checking the list is straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Visit the official ISRO website at isro.gov.in.
- Open the Careers or Recruitment section on the homepage.
- Look for the link titled ISRO Recruitment 2026 Result for Assistant and JPA.
- Open the zone-wise merit list PDF for your post and zone.
- Press Ctrl plus F on a computer and enter your roll number to search the list.
- Download the PDF and keep a printout for future reference.
One detail deserves attention. The merit lists are zone-wise, so make sure you open the PDF that matches your post and zone before drawing any conclusion about your qualifying status. A roll number missing from one list may appear in another, and checking the wrong list is the most common reason candidates wrongly assume they have missed out.
What Happens Next: Skill Test on November 1
Candidates whose roll numbers appear in the merit list will proceed to the skill test, which is scheduled for November 1, 2026. This is the next stage of the selection process, and only shortlisted candidates will be called for it. The result released on October 24 is provisional, which means the final selection will depend on the remaining stages and verification of eligibility.
Shortlisted candidates should keep a close watch on isro.gov.in in the coming days for the skill test schedule, venue details and the documents they will need to carry. It is also wise to keep the downloaded merit list PDF safe, since it serves as proof of qualifying status until the next notice arrives.
Pay Scale and Posts on Offer
The 242 posts on offer span four designations: Assistant, Junior Personal Assistant, Upper Division Clerk and Stenographer. The posts carry Level 4 pay under the 7th Pay Matrix, which works out to Rs 25,500 to Rs 81,100 per month, along with allowances as applicable under government rules. For many aspirants, that combination of a central government role and a posting with India’s space programme is exactly what makes this recruitment one of the most watched of the year.
ISRO conducts its recruitment through the ISRO Centralised Recruitment Board (ICRB), and this drive has drawn attention precisely because Assistant and JPA roles are among the most applied-for administrative posts in the organisation. With the result now out, the focus shifts to the skill test, and from there to the final selection list.
