BENGALURU, India | September 17, 2026 —
ISRO Admit Card 2026 is now available for candidates appearing in the Computer Based Test for Assistant, Junior Personal Assistant, Upper Division Clerk and Stenographer recruitment.
The Indian Space Research Organisation has confirmed that the CBT will be held on September 21, 2026 under Advertisement No. ISRO:ICRB:01(A-JPA):2026.
Candidates can download their admit cards through the official ISRO recruitment portal.
ISRO has also issued an important centre-related update: because of the large number of applicants and limited CBT nodes, some candidates have been allotted examination centres in nearby cities or even nearby states instead of their preferred locations.
ISRO CBT Exam Date Confirmed
The official ISRO recruitment notice lists September 21, 2026 as the date of the Computer Based Test.
The recruitment covers:
Assistant
Junior Personal Assistant
Upper Division Clerk
Stenographer
Candidates should rely on the exam date, reporting time and venue printed on their individual admit card.
How to Download ISRO Admit Card 2026
Candidates should visit the official ISRO recruitment section.
Use the login credentials generated during registration.
After logging in, open the admit-card section and download the hall ticket.
Save a digital copy and print at least one clear copy before travelling to the examination centre.
Check Your Exam City Carefully
This is particularly important for the September 21 examination.
ISRO says the recruitment received a large number of applications.
Because there were not enough CBT nodes in all notified centres, some candidates have been allotted venues in other cities or nearby states.
Therefore, candidates should not assume that their examination centre will necessarily be in the city selected as their first preference.
Check the following immediately after downloading the admit card:
Exam city
Exact venue address
Reporting time
Gate-closing time
Candidate name and photograph
Registration details
Post applied for
If the venue is outside your city, travel planning should be completed early.
ISRO Reopens Post and Zone Preference Window
ISRO has also temporarily reopened the online application system for candidates who want to modify their Post and Zone Preference following revised vacancies.
The modification window opened on September 16 at 10:00 AM and will remain available until September 21 at 10:00 AM.
This facility relates to post and zone preferences.
Candidates should read the official corrigendum carefully before making any change.
Advertisement Number
The recruitment is being conducted under:
Advertisement No.: ISRO:ICRB:01(A-JPA):2026
Advertisement Date: July 27, 2026
The original online application deadline was August 20, while the current reopened window is meant for preference modification following revised vacancy distribution.
What to Carry to the ISRO CBT
Candidates should follow the exact instructions printed on their admit card.
As a general preparation checklist, keep:
A printed admit card.
An accepted original photo identity document.
Any additional document specifically mentioned in the hall ticket.
Required PwBD or scribe documents where applicable.
ISRO has also issued separate instructions and annexures for eligible PwBD candidates.
Do not rely only on screenshots of the admit card unless the official instructions expressly permit them.
Previous-Year Question Papers Are Available
ISRO has made previous-year question papers available through the recruitment section.
Separate papers are available for Assistant and Junior Personal Assistant candidates.
These can be useful during the final days before the CBT because they help candidates understand the style and level of earlier examinations.
Final Four-Day Preparation Strategy
With the CBT scheduled for September 21, candidates now have limited preparation time.
The final days should focus on revision rather than starting large new topics.
Review frequently tested concepts, practise timed questions and revisit weaker areas.
Candidates should also check their exam route in advance, especially if their centre has been allocated in another city.
A last-minute travel problem can undo months of preparation.
Beware of Fake Admit Card Links
Candidates should download the hall ticket only through ISRO’s official recruitment website.
Recruitment exams often attract fake websites and misleading social-media posts.
Do not enter registration details, passwords or personal information on unofficial websites.
If any exam instruction conflicts with information circulating on social media, follow the official ISRO notice and your admit card.
What Candidates Should Do Today
Candidates appearing for the September 21 CBT should complete four tasks now:
Download the admit card.
Confirm the examination city and venue.
Arrange travel if the centre is outside the preferred city.
Use the remaining days for focused revision and previous-paper practice.
The most important update is clear: ISRO’s Assistant, Junior Personal Assistant, UDC and Stenographer CBT will be held on September 21, 2026, and admit cards are now available.
