The ISRO Assistant UDC JPA Stenographer CBT result update includes eight post- and zone-specific shortlists for candidates who appeared in the Computer Based Test (CBT) on 21 September 2026. Together, the Ahmedabad and Bengaluru lists name 771 shortlisted roll numbers. Document Verification (DV) is scheduled for 31 October 2026, and the Skill Test is scheduled for 1 November 2026. These are next-stage shortlists, not a final selection or appointment result.
Use the official ISRO Centralised Recruitment Board (ICRB) recruitment page to find the PDF that matches your post and zone. Check the roll number and registration number in that notice, then follow its instructions for reporting, verification and testing. The released lists covered here are for Ahmedabad and Bengaluru only; do not assume they include every zone or every notice that may be issued.
ISRO Assistant UDC JPA Stenographer result: shortlist at a glance
| Update | Details |
|---|---|
| Recruiting board | ISRO Centralised Recruitment Board (ICRB) |
| Advertisement number | ISRO:ICRB:01(A-JPA):2026 |
| CBT date | 21 September 2026 |
| Shortlists covered in this update | Eight lists for Ahmedabad and Bengaluru |
| Shortlisted roll numbers in these lists | 771 in total |
| Document Verification | 31 October 2026 |
| Skill Test | 1 November 2026 |
The shortlist update identifies candidates being called for the next stage. It should not be read as confirmation that a candidate has passed every remaining requirement or been appointed. For the ISRO Assistant UDC JPA Stenographer result, the eight lists relate to particular posts and zones, and the number 771 is the total across those lists—not a stated total for all candidates shortlisted across every ISRO zone.
Shortlisted candidates by post and zone
| Post | Zone | Shortlisted |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant | Ahmedabad | 152 |
| Assistant [Autonomous Bodies] | Ahmedabad | 58 |
| Junior Personal Assistant | Ahmedabad | 111 |
| Junior Personal Assistant (Autonomous Bodies) | Ahmedabad | 5 |
| Assistant | Bengaluru | 153 |
| Junior Personal Assistant | Bengaluru | 103 |
| Stenographer | Bengaluru | 53 |
| Upper Division Clerk | Bengaluru | 136 |
| Total across these eight lists | Ahmedabad and Bengaluru | 771 |
The table separates each list by the post name and zone so candidates can quickly identify the relevant PDF. Ahmedabad’s lists include Assistant, Assistant [Autonomous Bodies], Junior Personal Assistant and Junior Personal Assistant (Autonomous Bodies). The Bengaluru lists include Assistant, Junior Personal Assistant, Stenographer and Upper Division Clerk. A similar or abbreviated post name is not enough to identify the correct notice: confirm both the zone and the full post title before checking your details.
Document Verification and Skill Test schedule
| Posts | Document Verification — 31 October 2026 | Skill Test — 1 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Assistant, Assistant [Autonomous Bodies], Upper Division Clerk | 9:30 AM | 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM |
| Junior Personal Assistant, Junior Personal Assistant (Autonomous Bodies), Stenographer | 11:30 AM | Computer Literacy Test: 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM; Stenography Test: 12:00 PM to 12:50 PM |
The two dates have different purposes: DV is on 31 October, while the Skill Test is on 1 November. The schedule gives different DV reporting times by post group. For Assistant, Assistant [Autonomous Bodies] and UDC, the listed DV time is 9:30 AM. For JPA, JPA (Autonomous Bodies) and Stenographer, the listed DV time is 11:30 AM.
For candidates following the ISRO Assistant UDC JPA Stenographer schedule, the Skill Test day has different test slots by post group. Assistant and UDC candidates have a stated test slot from 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM. The JPA and Stenographer group has a Computer Literacy Test during that same 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM period, followed by a Stenography Test from 12:00 PM to 12:50 PM. Candidates should use the schedule for their own post and confirm it against their notice rather than applying another group’s timings.
Shortlisted candidates are instructed to report at 8:00 AM on the Skill Test day. This reporting instruction is separate from the timed test slots shown above. Check your post- and zone-specific official notice for the complete reporting directions, and plan to reach the assigned venue in time for the stated reporting requirement.
Where are the ISRO Skill Test venues?
| Zone | Venue for Document Verification and Skill Test |
|---|---|
| Ahmedabad | L. J. Computer Application (L. J. MCA), Lok Jagruti Kendra University, L.J. Campus, Sarkhej, Ahmedabad – 382210 |
| Bengaluru | Kristu Jayanti (Deemed to be University), K. Narayanapura, Kothanur Post, Bengaluru – 560077 |
The venue shown is tied to the zone in the shortlist information. Use the venue listed for your own zone, not one chosen because it appears more convenient. Before travelling, recheck the official recruitment page and your relevant PDF for any revised instructions. The information available here does not provide additional directions about transport, entry arrangements or local access, so rely on official notices for those details.
What to do after being shortlisted
- Open the official recruitment page. Go to the ISRO ICRB recruitment page linked below. Look for the relevant result or skill-test shortlist notice rather than relying on a copied list from an unofficial source.
- Select the matching PDF. Match both your post and zone. If your post title includes “Autonomous Bodies,” use the corresponding list where one is provided; do not substitute a list for a similarly named post.
- Search using the identifiers shown. The lists include serial number, roll number and registration number. Check the identifiers carefully against your own records. If you use the PDF search function, confirm that the complete number matches rather than relying on a partial search result.
- Read the full notice. Note your DV date and time, Skill Test date and slot, venue, reporting instruction and any directions that apply to your category or post. The summary on this page is not a replacement for the official notice.
- Review your documents in advance. Check the notice for the definitive document checklist and any required format or copies. Keep your shortlist or call notice, identity proof and relevant original certificates with copies ready as appropriate, but follow ISRO’s published requirements rather than an unofficial checklist.
- Plan for both dates. DV is listed for 31 October and the Skill Test for 1 November 2026. Make arrangements using the venue and reporting details in your own notice, and allow time for travel and the stated reporting requirement.
- Check for changes before departure. Revisit the official page for revised instructions or additional zone notices. The eight lists described here cover Ahmedabad and Bengaluru, not necessarily every zone.
Being named in a shortlist means a candidate is called for the next stage; it does not mean final selection. The available information also does not set out a complete document checklist. Candidates should therefore avoid treating general guidance or third-party lists as a substitute for the instructions issued by ISRO.
Earlier recruitment timeline and current status
| Event | Date or status |
|---|---|
| Notification | 27 July 2026 |
| Original online application window | 27 July to 16 August 2026 |
| Last date for online submission shown on the ISRO page | 20 August 2026 |
| Form reopened for post and zone preference changes only | 16 September 2026, 10:00 AM to 21 September 2026, 10:00 AM |
| Computer Based Test | 21 September 2026 — held |
| Response sheet and objection portal | 25 September 2026, 2:00 PM to 28 September 2026, 2:00 PM — closed |
| Document Verification | 31 October 2026 |
| Skill Test | 1 November 2026 |
The recruitment timeline distinguishes the initial application period from the later reopening. The reopening ran from 16 September at 10:00 AM to 21 September at 10:00 AM and was for changing post and zone preferences only. It was not a fresh application window. The response-sheet and objection period has also ended, so these dates are included as a record of earlier stages rather than as current opportunities.
An earlier update described 1 November 2026 as a tentative Skill Test date. The date printed in the Ahmedabad and Bengaluru shortlist information is 1 November 2026. Candidates should still check the official page for any later notice, including notices relevant to zones not covered by these eight lists.
Recruitment overview: posts, vacancies and eligibility
The ISRO Assistant UDC JPA Stenographer recruitment advertisement covered Assistant, Upper Division Clerk (UDC), Junior Personal Assistant (JPA) and Stenographer posts across ISRO centres and listed locations in India. The application period is closed. The following information is a summary of the original recruitment conditions for candidates reviewing the advertisement; it does not change the requirements or dates stated in the official notice.
Vacancy breakdown
| Post category | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Assistant / Upper Division Clerk (Posts 1, 3 and 5) | 150 |
| Junior Personal Assistant / Stenographer (Posts 2, 4 and 6) | 92 |
| Total | 242 |
The recruitment information groups the 242 vacancies into two broad categories: Assistant and UDC posts, and JPA and Stenographer posts. The figures above are the stated category totals. For post-specific or location-specific details, use the original advertisement rather than assuming that the category totals apply evenly across posts or centres.
Educational qualification
| Post group | Qualification stated for the recruitment |
|---|---|
| Assistant / UDC | Graduation from a recognised university with at least 60% marks, or CGPA 6.32 on a 10-point scale, completed within the minimum stipulated course duration; computer proficiency was also required. |
| JPA / Stenographer | Graduation with at least 60% marks or CGPA 6.32; alternatively, a 60% Diploma in Commercial/Secretarial Practice with one year of experience as a Steno-Typist. English stenography at 60 words per minute and computer proficiency were required. |
The qualification requirements differ by post group. For Assistant and UDC, the summary specifies a recognised university degree and a marks or CGPA threshold, along with computer proficiency. For JPA and Stenographer, the listed routes include a degree meeting the stated threshold or the specified diploma-and-experience alternative. English stenography speed and computer proficiency are also listed for that group. Candidates should consult the advertisement for the complete wording, including how qualifications and supporting evidence are assessed.
Age limit and relaxation
The maximum age stated for the recruitment was 28 years. The recruitment information provided relaxation to 31 years for OBC candidates and 33 years for SC/ST candidates where posts were reserved. Relaxation for serving government employees, Ex-Servicemen, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities, meritorious sportspersons, and eligible widows or divorced or judicially separated women was subject to Government of India orders.
These are summary details, not a substitute for the advertisement’s category rules. The applicable cut-off date, reservation conditions and proof requirements can affect how an age limit is applied. Candidates checking eligibility should use the original notice to confirm the relevant conditions rather than applying a general relaxation without checking whether it applies to the post and candidate category.
Pay, selection process and application fee
| Item | Recruitment information |
|---|---|
| Pay level | Level 4 of the Pay Matrix |
| Starting basic pay | ₹25,500 per month |
| Allowances and benefits | DA, HRA and Transport Allowance as per rules; the recruitment information also refers to medical facilities, canteen, limited quarters facility, Leave Travel Concession, Group Insurance and House Building Advance, subject to applicable rules. |
| Selection stages | Computer Based Test followed by a Skill Test; JPA and Stenographer candidates also have a stenography test as shown in the schedule. |
| Application fee | ₹100 |
| Processing fee | ₹500, refundable under the stated conditions to candidates who appeared in the written test. |
The stated starting basic pay is ₹25,500 per month at Pay Level 4. The recruitment information also lists allowances and benefits, but these are subject to the applicable rules; the table should not be read as a promise of a fixed total monthly amount. The selection information identifies a CBT followed by a Skill Test, with the schedule specifying a Computer Literacy Test and Stenography Test for the relevant JPA and Stenographer group.
The application fee was ₹100, with a processing fee of ₹500 subject to the stated refund conditions for candidates who appeared in the written test. As described in the recruitment information, women, SC/ST, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen candidates exempt from the application fee were eligible for a full ₹500 processing-fee refund after appearing in the written test. Other candidates were eligible for a ₹400 refund, with the ₹100 application fee deducted. The advertisement contains the complete terms, so refer to it for the exact conditions.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Opening the wrong list: Check the post and zone together. The Assistant, UDC, JPA and Stenographer lists are not interchangeable.
- Searching only by name: The lists include roll and registration numbers. Use the identifiers shown and compare the full number carefully.
- Assuming the update covers every zone: The eight lists described here are for Ahmedabad and Bengaluru only.
- Confusing the two dates: DV is scheduled for 31 October 2026, while the Skill Test is scheduled for 1 November 2026.
- Using another post group’s timings: JPA and Stenographer candidates have a separate Stenography Test slot after the Computer Literacy Test.
- Treating shortlisting as final selection: The shortlist is for the next stage and is not an appointment result.
- Relying on an unofficial document checklist: The available summary does not give a complete list. Follow the official notice for required documents.
- Assuming applications remain open: Both the original application window and the later preference-change window have closed.
Final takeaway
The latest ISRO Assistant UDC JPA Stenographer shortlist information covered here names 771 candidates across eight Ahmedabad and Bengaluru lists. Document Verification is scheduled for 31 October 2026, followed by the Skill Test on 1 November 2026. Find the PDF for your exact post and zone, verify your roll or registration number, and note the reporting time, test slot and venue stated in your notice. Recheck ISRO’s official recruitment page before travelling. A shortlist is a call to the next stage, not a final selection list.
