ISRO Scientist/Engineer SC -Interview

I got into isro too. basically i am mad of science. and to become a scientist is my child hood dream. I applied on line for this isro Scientist/Engineer SC post on march. I got the notification from job opportunities section of isro web site. initially they will conduct a screening based on your bio-data and select people for written test. then if you clear written test they will call you for the interview.

HRA : 30% ie. 6202

I choose trivandrum test center and for joining i preferred Bangalore in online application ( since i am from ECE, and they do most of the electronics work in Bangalore :) )

Written test:

As expected they called me for the written test. it was on 28 april. For ECE, questions are mainly from basic electronics, micro controllers,LIC, Network theory, and very few questions from OS. Don’t worry, they will ask only very basic questions. Out of 80 i could answer almost 60 questions.

They declared test result in web site within two weeks. my interview date was 27 Th June. One more week passed and i didn’t received interview call letter. i send a mail to rpc@isro.gov.in. surprisingly i got the reply within a day. they gave a link to download the call letter in case of not receiving hard copy.

prior to Interview:

some guys who attended the interview said they will ask for your favorite subject. so i prepared communication engineering for that.

i went to trivandrum a day before interview so that i can stay with my friend who is working in isro in the same post. According to him following are the pleasant and unpleasant facts about isro.
:) It has got one of the excellent library in India.
:) Permanent job. so much freedom.
:) Scope for continuing your studies.
:) no tension. friendly work environment..

:( If you are planning for an excellent career, isro is not a nice place. It is like any other govt job. you can come to office and if you want you can simply sit.
:( isro holds the 7th place among 7 countries who invest in space research.
:( Internal politics.
:( Most of the projects done here are just a copy of what others did.
:( isro cannot prevent brain drain. Many isro people jump to good companies after 4 -5 yrs.

For me none of these cons are important for selecting my career. so i decided to go ahead.

Interview:
it took around 20- 25 minutes. the panel is having 9 or 10 scientist. the senior scientist sitting at the middle asked most of the questions. we will be standing in front of a board where we have to draw diagrams if asked. i remember some of the questions.

> Shamsudheen, which subject you have prepared?
-communication engineering.
he asked many questions from transmission line characteristics, stub matching, wave guides, etc. I said what these things are. but he asked to tell basic concepts like why there is only TE or TM mode in wave guide and not TEM.
I know very little about transmission lines.I asked him to change the topic.
then they asked questions generally from electronics basics like
> what is modulation?
> different kinds of modulation
> draw the circuit if demodulator
> what is the output of not gate for sine wave input?
> how to shift a sine wave up or down?
> different kinds of modulation

they asked about my project.I did my project in Wipro technologies, Basically it is a java based application to control multi-functional printer networks. may be it is in java they didn’t asked questions from project.
also they asked if i have any other offer and in which company. I said bosch.

After Interview:

I thought i spoiled my interview with that transmission lines part. Sitll i had some hope. I joined bosch in July and isro published the result in July last week. Awoo… I got selected. :)

i saw some people in bosch who jumped from isro. One of my colleque in bosch, Danish also got in to isro this time. He got a mail from one of his friend working in isro regarding the nature of work in isro. Click here to read.

    I am a final yr student of ECE. Can you please guide me if possible. You said they conduct a screening test after seeing your biodata. so can you tell me the exact procedure to enroll.

  3. September 20, 2008 at 1:27 pm | #3

    @ Shishir,

    Sorry for the late reply. Don’t worry man, one of my friend already has completed medical test. It is a regular medical examination for group A gazetted post. not like a military medical examination.

    @ Archna
    i think initial screening is based on marks only. i think they will conduct this only if there is too many applicants. i coul find people having even 67 percent for the interview. But according to my friend in ISRO, interview will be harder for them.

    Congrats dude! Did you have a color vision exam during the medical test? You know the test where they show you colored circles on a sheet which traces out a number, the tech name is Ishihara’s test.

    congratulations for selecting in to isro ,i am e.c.e student ,can you please tell me the procedure how to enroll for the exam

  10. October 26, 2008 at 9:23 am | #12

    @sourabh & rajasekhar
    thanks dudes, sorry for the late reply.check any notification on isro web site- job opertunities page. usually dey call freshers during jan-feb periode.
    application will be online.there will be a preferance to select centre to join. most of the electronics work is done in bangalore-isac.
    test will be in may. questions are from ur basics on ur discipline only. during interview,they ll ask for ur favourite subject. i think they ll consider this while alloting department. all the best and prepare well.

    @rajan
    as far as i know,BCA alone is not enough for this post. refer the job oppertunities page check every notification.if BCA is not sufficient, u can go for btech.otherwise they ll select people from disciplines like environmental science,agriculture,forestry etc in to remote sensing application field.

    hii.. im final year student of BE mech..and wanted to join isro, before reading this blog.now it luks like isro is a typical government low paying job..where there is no pressure on u to work.i want to do sum real work which is not a copy of others,which has innovation,nd there is scope to progress..not just a steady and stable job.are there kind of projects or posts which can serve my desire..pls reply..
    abhinav

  12. November 13, 2008 at 4:35 pm | #14

    @ Abhinav,
    I am really sorry to make such an impression about isro from my blog. when i wrote it, all i know is a person’s(who is working in isor) opinion about isro. now, i finished my 1st month in isro. during training i met wonderful personalities who dedicated a large portion of their life for our space programme. also visited few facilities including,sriharikota, inertial systems, VSSC, TERLS etc. as i learn more and more about isro, am irresistably falling in love with isro. This is such a wonderful place for deriving job satisfaction. if you don’t want to make money as TATA and Birla are making, and need a challenging, inspiring, Scientific/Engineering career in india, ISRO is a best place.
    All the best and wish you a greate career ahead.

    it is excellent that you have decided joined ISRO. Young people like you will take us where no human has ever been before! I am glad that you are now very happy in your job. Recently I wrote an article on Chandrayaan and how we have been paying low salaries to our scientists. I would very much appreciate getting your comments on that.

    Also I would like to interview you on my blog. Let me know if you would like that. My email lvs004_AT_gmail_dot_com

    Dear sir, im extremely Happy to find such a useful blog, which has both experiences of individuals and info about ISRO! Congrats sir! im doing my 3rd year B.Tech I.T, its my dream to get placed in ISRO. should i do my PG? Because everytime i see for the job of scientist/engineer its always denoted temporary. Should i do my M.E to get a sustainable job in ISRO? If so, which stream can i chose? Should i take up any exams like GATE, UPSC etc…? Kindly guide me… Thank you…

    • December 18, 2008 at 11:04 pm | #23

      @Gowtham
      you can get into isro without a PG. but if you have a PG, chances are more for you to get a department which is related to your specialization. ie. you can do your PG in your favorite subject if you want your career in it.

      Also M-tech people will be considered for first promotion after 2 years of service. in case of B-techs, it is 4 years. don’t worry about the term temporary in advertisement. initially all posts have a probation period of 1 yr. after that they will make it permanent for sure unless you did something terribly wrong like got charged in a criminal case.

  21. December 18, 2008 at 11:31 am | #24

    Hi all, Kindly help me with your guidelines… Mail me- gowtham26indian@gmail.com

  22. December 19, 2008 at 1:10 pm | #25

  24. December 20, 2008 at 12:25 am | #27

    Dear sir, best wishes! Im a B.Tech I.T graduate and i wanted to apply for ISRO. Can you Pls say what are the basic programming languages that are expected for freshers in ISRO, from cs branch students? Any specific software skills required? In ISRO are they preparing any softwares, or what kind of job IT graduates will be given? Kindly help me. Thank u

  25. December 20, 2008 at 6:55 pm | #28

    @Gowtham,
    it is not compulsory to take up such exams, but if you hav a good gate score, it will help you during the interview (they ask everyone about the GATE score). so all the best, prepare well.
    @Menon
    some areas which i am aware of where CS people work are control system, tool development etc.from a fresher, they expect nothing more than a good basic knowledge in your stream and a right attitude. wish you the very best.

  26. December 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm | #29

    Thank you sir :-)

  27. December 20, 2008 at 10:12 pm | #30

    Sir,
    I am doing Computer Engineering, 6th sem.I have got interest in Embedded Systems, hardware and image processing.( along with programming)

    I have also made projects , seminars and papers related to these topics.
    I was always looking for a stable ( probably government) job.

    so would it be ok if I keep on doing the same kind of things or sould I learn any other things to match my skills with their requirement?

    Secondly, Can you tell me what kind of work a Computer Engineer is given to do at ISRO? (After all its a question of job satisfaction.)

    I am myopic (i have specs) with a power of -6 and -7. Can this cause me to fail the medical test? Getting an answer to this is very important for me. Please help me. I am going to come down to Ahmedabad from US for interview. In case my myopia anyway renders me unfit/disqualifies me then I would not attend the interview. Please help.

      @ Harshini
      there won’t be much screening before test. most of the applicants having >65% will be able to write the test. prepare from gate materials in your own stream. that will help you for the written test.

    Hi,
    I have a very fundamental doubt. What does SC occurring at the end of Scientist/Engineer stand for? To put things straight, does it place restriction on the applicants on the basis of caste. Sorry, if I sounded too foolish. :)

    • February 17, 2009 at 12:07 pm | #60

      Dear All
      isro has announced their 2009 recruitment. visit the following link
      for application form and more information.

      http://www.isac.gov.in/CentralBE/advt.jsp

      @ Ranga.
      There are 8 posts for scientists in ISRO. the order of seniority is C, D, E, F, G, H, Distinguished Scientist, and Outstanding Scientist. they will give the promotion based on eligibility ( not based on vacancy).

      @ Geethanjali
      Don’t worry about % much. They will call most of the candidates with % > 65. Prepare well in ur basics. I wish u all the best :)

      @Thejo Kishan
      Thanks dude. They will ask questions from basic topics in ur stream. so prepare well from basics. Also aterials for gate prepaeration also will help you. I guess some questions are available in freshersworld.com

      @sandy.
      There is no nontechnical questions.

      @Manas
      You cannot write CS test. However you can mention your interests during interview. Surely they will consider it. in isro it is always better if you have knowledge in multiple disciplines.

    Thank you,A very informative blog!!

    I am appearing for ISRO SC exam,2009( ECE stream).Sir, Kindly give tips on how to prepare, any books and the topics to be covered in detail. Any links to sample questions?? Do we have to cover the entire GATE syll i.e, Maths, Analog comm,dig comm,trans lines,signal processing,control systems,network theory…? Please guide.. seems a lot with hardly any time!

    Is a myopic vision of -4.5 going to affect my chances of getting in?

    Dear Sir,
    I want to know about the screening criteria as isro has mentioned in their website this means if a personis satisfying the eligibility criteria even then there is no surity that whether he/she would be given a call for written exam, plz also tell me the cut-offs for electronics branch.

    • February 20, 2009 at 11:04 am | #79

      Hi friends,

      lot of you have questions about CS test pattern. so i asked my friends from CS background. Here is one reply i got.

      Learn all d core papers from LSD in S3 C language data structures algorithmic complexity networking etc … learn all core subjects … datz d key …. or refer gate syllabus …. i think dey follow dat syllabus but questions r of lower standard ..i mean easier dan GATE u wll get only enuf time to answer but no negative marking …. so hav an idea of everything n u wll get thru …

      Any one who is having a Btech can apply for one of the test in EC,CS or Mech which is related to your Btech stream.

    @Chaitanya
    Don’t worry much about selection for written test. most of the candidates with more than 65% can write the test.
    topics for ece can be found from this post itself (it is discussed many times here).
    wish you the very best.

And also can u plz send me the exact syllabus for ECE people. i have found people asking the same question and ur respone to the same. even then i cant get clear idea regarding the syllabus for ECE.
    My humble request is can u plz send a copy of the syllabus pattern along with the question paper model.

    ( kindly add a link for syllabus so that people like me can visit page for viewing the same. so that we wont disturb ur busy schedule in future regarding the syllabus).

    waiting for ur reply to start my preparation…..!!!

      Here is the freshersworld link to ISRO papers
      http://www.freshersworld.com/placementweek/company.asp?cid=122
      I am sorry that i don’t know more about the syllabus than discussed here.
      @Chaitanya
      I had 75%. I didn’t mean to say there is a safe mark. I felt like they have a preference over good academics, ranks etc. What is your %?
      @Piya
      Minimum % required is 65. Don’t worry about ur specs. its not a problem. Keep ur passion for our country high. Don’t forget to update your skills, knowledge etc. keep working for a brighter India. All the best.
      @Rony
      you can apply for CS exam. As I already said, Candidates from almost every B-tech stream can write one of the EC, CS, and Mech test. But you cannot apply for the test which is not related to ur stream. for eg, IT or CSE cannot apply for EC

    Hi Shamzu,

    Thank you very much for giving loads of information about ISRO recruitment. I have been googling too much to find information what you have provided on this page, luckily I visited this page :)

    I’m working in a leading MNC as a tech lead. I’ve around 4.8 years of experience in s/w industry. I’ve applied for Scientist post and I’ll be writing the test on 26th april because getting into a central organization have always been my dream and morever getting into ISRO is a high priority dream because of its challanging domain and chance of me working in MCF, Hassan, Karnataka which is my native place :) I’m getting around 82k/month here but still I want a peaceful life and more time for personal life.

    I’ve one query. I just want to know if ISRO calls for experienced people also like how HAL and other organizations call for 3 years experienced people,etc. Thanks in advance for your reply and time..

    Regards,
    Prashanth DN

    I am a EEEian & `ve recently applied for ISRO’s “Scientist/Engineer SC – Electronics” examination. I am just wondering whether ISRO provides separate sets of question papers for candidates from different core disciplines in UG? or, A same set of question paper will be provided to all candidates appearing for Electonics stream, irrespective of their core disciplines in UG?

    I’m in a sort of a little dilemma to select the core areas for my exam preparation.

    “As both EEE & ECE are inter-related in many aspects, Should I go with preparing the core subjects of EEE’s (like: Electrical Machines, Power Systems, Electrical and Electronic Measurements, Power Electronics and Drives, etc) or that of ECE’s (like: Electronic Devices, Analog Circuits, Digital circuits, Signals and Systems, Communications, etc)?”

    Simply put, should my preparation be focussed on GATE ECE or on GATE EEE?

    Thank you in anticipation.

    for EEE people,

    The question paper is same for EEE and ECE. so you can expect questions more from topics which are common to both these branches.

    Thank a lot for giving useful information about ISRO recruitment.
    I did my M.Sc in Mathematics n Computing n at present I’m working as a Software Engineer in a leading MNC. I’ve around 2 years of experience in s/w industry. So is it mandatory for me to give the scientist exam? Does ISRO call for experienced people seperately like how HAL and other organizations call for 2-3 years experienced people?

    Thanks in advance

    Shamzu, man you doing a great job. Many many thanks for your efforts in writing the blog and most importantly for following up with replies to all the queries.

    My query:

    (Subject) I’m a B.E Aeronautical Engineer from Anna University, passed out in 2008 with aggregate score of 82%. Now, almost an year has passed. How bright are my chances of getting selected?

    (Optional) I got placed in a software concern, which is serving airline industries with custom made softwares. But the company hasn’t inducted me yet, nor it has given me a solid date of joining. So, I done almost nothing but waited for almost an year now and lost hope in that company.

    • April 17, 2009 at 8:59 am | #209

      i hope you won’t have any prob because of you are a 2008 pass out.

    Thanks Shamzu.

    One more thing, since I’m an aeronautical guy I have very little clue about the difficulty level of the interview questions; I couldn’t judge from the list of questions that you’ve mentioned as been asked to you.

    Are they very basics from ECE? Can one generalize roughly as: They ask questions from the subjects studied during the first year of Engineering?

      They usually announce results in two weeks. This time they will take more people (i guess almost double the number ).

    Sir,which one is to be entered in the online application form,CGPA or percentage marks? And is there any options for entering whether the candidate is Bachelor or Masters degree holder? Waiting for your kind reply.

    • May 3, 2009 at 1:06 pm | #231

      @Jayanta
      you an enter percentage. If you are appearing for test, i think there is no option to specify your master degree. but you can mention it during interview.

      @sruthi
      Thank you very much for asking a question not related to ISRO interview (not that i don’t want to see questions related to interview ;) ).
      By the way sync filters are used in various image restoration methods in imaging satellites.

      @Azhar
      Do you have a Btech or BE? If so, after having few years experience they will consider you for a promotion to Scientist/Engineer category. Don’t know exactly how many years it will take.

      @All
      I think you will get some idea about interview from this post itself. i’ll try to write a post about interview when i get some time.

    Hi Shamzu,

    I am a mechanical graduate. i am called for interview for ISRO scientis C in last week ot this month. It is my childhood dream to be a space scientist and i have a 400 X telescope also. Problem is that i am having partial colour blindness and also i am a kidney transplanted person.
    do i stand any chance of geeting selected finally or my medical condition is a disqualification. Waiting for your kind reply……

    • June 5, 2009 at 9:34 pm | #271

      @Ashutosh
      don’t worry too much about medical test. It is not a big deal (not like in the case of army or things like that). prepare well for the interview. if you want, contact isro people for further clarification. wish you the very best.

      Even I did the same mistake last time and i asked them about it. It is not an issue. Before interview they will give few forms to fill and verify your mark sheets. There you can give the correct mark sheets. If you have enough marks above the cut off, there won’t be any problem.

      In my interview call letter also it was clearly mentioned like that. But I also accidently entered the wrong marks.
      But they said, they will disqualify you in case if you showed more marks to bypass the cut off. In my case I had enough marks above the cut off. So there was no problem. They corrected the forms before my interview.
      I guess you guys have enough marks. ;) .

  263. saroja
    June 13, 2009 at 12:56 pm | #303

    Hi,

    I got a call letter too. I wanted to ask you this:

    When they say that we have to bring attested xerox copies of transcripts, do they mean we have to sign on them??? Or do they mean that we have to get those from the university ???

    Things run slow during vacations. So I am worried I might not get the attested copies in time from the university.

    Thanks for your help.

    sir,
    i’m from mechanical engineering and selected 4 d interview which is on 13th july in kolkata.but i’v already sent the first semester fees to iit kanpur for m.tech programme and got admission there.u’v written above dat one can continue his studies while working in isro.now,what does this actually mean?my classes in iit kanpur will start 4m 27th july and i’ll leave my place on 19th july.they take nearly one month for the declaration of the final selection.so i’v decided to continue my classes at kanpur for that one month and if i get the job,i’ll join it.but if i won’t join immediately,can i continue my m.tech holding the job in hand?working in isro is my childhood dream and i can’t let the oppurtunity go if i get the job..but i also want to hold an m.tech degree from some renowned institution like iit.does isro permit higher studies to its employees?please give some suggestions..

    • June 20, 2009 at 11:35 am | #317

      @ayan
      isro will send you for m-tech only after a minimum of 4 years. If you already have a seat in iitk in a subject you are interested in, my personal opinion is to join iit. After 2 years you can consider joining isro. You will have a better chance for getting selected and to get a posting in a closer area to your subject.

    i’ve been called for interview for isro on 14th july.
    they’ve asked for b.tech. project. my project work in b.tech. is not very big. it’s simple realization of filters in pspice.
    will this play against me?
    how much they consider the project work in selection?
    also i’ve 3 re-appears(now cleared). my college is also little known.
    how much will this all go against me?

    • June 25, 2009 at 11:47 am | #326

      Please don’t ask me how the interview going to be. I don’t have any idea about it. What i can say is how was my interview. And i almost said it completelety here.

      I feel if you have good knowledge in basics of your stream, this interview will be a piece of cake. Nothing else matters as much as basics.

I want to enquire about the “In hand salary for the post”, “requirement of NOC from current employer” at the tme of interview, “which Division (Place wise)will be better for my technical growth at ISRO” & finally as you see that i’ve been far away from bookish studies for last two years, “what shud i prepare for interview” & will my work-ex will be beneficial for me at ISRO anyhow? reply awaited. Thanks.

    Hi shamzu,
    hi everyone,

    I appeared for the interview (Mechanical ) on 29th june on delhi. i was the first candidate to be interviewed. 8-9 Scientists were in the committe. Senior most scientist started the interview. since i am Mtech they asked me about the subject taught in Mtech. then they asked about my Thesis(M.Tech). my interview lasted for abt 20-25 minutes and they mostly asked from my thesis only.
    I could answer abt 60% questions only. their reply was not very convencing so i think i have v slim chances of getting thru.
    BTech candidates were asked abt their fav subjects and projech. so guys, esp. mech guys if u r btech do prepare at least 1 fav subject and ur Btech project serouosly and throughly.

    Wish u all best

    • July 1, 2009 at 6:49 pm | #342

      @Amit
      Don’t worry, you can mention that 8th sem results came very recently. If you cannot produce certificate, take a copy of internet result page. you can produce all the original certificates while joining.

    Hi all,
    My interview is finished on 1 july in hyd.till 3.30 pm they are asked only basic questions from fav subject and project only.but after that they asked very tough questions from other than fav subject.my interview time was started at 4.00 pm.they didnt ask about my project alsothey are still 7 persons after my interview.they are also faced same problem.we 8 poeple confirmed we are not gone through interview.because they didnt asked even single basic question.we answed only lessthan 40%.
    so guys dont go with prep of only one subject.they may be asked from any subject.
    for me they asked enviromental science also. what is carbon credit ???? what is green house effect???
    .im from electronics branch.

    shmazu please tell me why they are asking like that???? upto 3.30pm they asking fav subject & project.but later they didnt asked???
    why its like that.they may be any criteria other than interview to gone through???? i mean are they give any preference in btech percentage????

    • July 3, 2009 at 10:22 am | #352

      @sandeep
      May be they were hurrying to finish the interview. Its ok, last time also some of us felt, we will never make it. But most of them are there with me now. Thanks for sharing your experience :) . I don’t know about the weightage of written test marks.

    If selected what are the technical areas CSE guys will work on? and which ISRO center they will be posted in?

    To All: Is there any guy who has attended the interview (CSE) this year, Please post your experience. so that lot of people can get help from it.

    • July 3, 2009 at 9:43 pm | #357

      CSE people may get posted to any of the ISRO centres. Programming is now an essential part of almost every system. Especially in Control Engineering, digital systems etc.

        Hi Shamzu,

        Thanks for your reply.

        My Interview :

        There were 8 people in the interview hall. They told to have a seat.
        The senior scientist asked me weather I feel comfortable if they ask questions in the subjects rather than on my experience, I told OK, no problem.

        They have started asking me with the question about my intersting subjects. My answer was OS and Network security.

        And the simple questions like
        What is time sharing system?
        Differences between Windows and Linux?
        what is virtual memory?
        On which basis & who will decide whether to use virtual memory?
        some page replacement algorithms?
        What are all the security measures you will take in a network?
        what is firewall? and types of firewalls?
        what is IPS?
        what is IDS?
        what is antivirus software?


        Differences between C& C++?
        When you will choose C / C++?
        asked to write syntax for opening a file in C? (write on the board)

        It went very smoothly.
        I have answered all. I felt very happy with the interview.

        When the results will be published and Where ..?

        Thanks

    Hi,

    Q1) Can you please shed some light on the specifics and nature of medical exam?

    Q2) Considering the fact that many posts on this blog have been either from ECE or CSE people and also the fact that last year the advt for mechanical stream was posted twice; would it be right to conclude that

    a) ISRO has a huge demand for mechanical engineers
    b) Number of applicants from mechanical stream is lesser in comparison with other two streams (less competition)?

    Thanks.

    I am 2009 pass out from mechanical gave interview on 13th in Delhi.

    As i entered the room they said “do u & the last candidates used to sit together in the college?”. I said we are the room mates. Then they laughed & became friendly. They asked me abt fav subjects. I said Fluid machines, heat transfer. They started asking questions abt pump, its curves. after 5 min they moved to HT. they asked abt nucleate boiling & heat exchangers. after tht they asked abt Som which i have not prepared. In FM & HT almost all questions were answered. But in Som i was knowing only 2 out of 5.
    then they moved to project. They talked abt it for abt 4-5 min. Asked few questions abt it?
    Then they were happy & said “We really appreciate ur project work. It’s new idea & u must continue it where ever u do job.” At this I said “but, I must join ISRO” At this they laughed. & said “yaah, u have performed fine except SOM” & this they turned to my training which was in TCS(I think it would be -ve for me that being from mechanical i have done my training in software.). They asked abt my project in TCS.
    After asking it they said “thank u & you may go”

    Dear Shamzu Do i have any chance if I was able to answer only 65% questions.
