ISRO SAC Ahmedabad Apprentice Recruitment 2026 – Apply by 30.11.2026

ISRO’s Space Applications Centre (SAC) in Ahmedabad is taking one-year apprentices across 26 fields, from B.E. and B.Com graduates to diploma and ITI holders, and there is no written test. An apprentice is a trainee who learns on the job for a fixed period and gets a monthly stipend instead of a salary. SAC will shortlist you on the percentage you scored in your qualifying exam, and the notification does not say how many seats there are.

Recruitment Overview

Important Dates

Application Fee

The notification does not mention any application fee.

Posts and Qualification

The notification gives no vacancy numbers, so the table lists the 26 post codes and what each one needs.

Graduate Apprentice (post codes 01 to 09)

Technician Apprentice (post codes 10 to 14)

Trade Apprentice (post codes 15 to 26)

Eligibility Criteria

So an OBC (NCL) graduate aged 30 is still eligible for posts 01 to 09, because 28 plus 3 years makes the limit 31 on 02.12.2026. Most people slip on the year of passing instead, so read the Who Should Apply section.

Who Should Apply

• This is one year of training under the Apprentices Act 1961, not a job. The notification says apprentices cannot claim a job at SAC or any other ISRO centre afterwards.
• Where you studied matters. A degree or diploma must come from a university or board in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, or Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, and the ITI must be from Gujarat.
• Only recent pass-outs fit. You must have passed in or after December 2023, but someone who passed in December 2023 will already have completed three years by a January or February 2027 joining, which can rule them out. Check your pass month before applying.
• There is no exam, so your percentage is everything. Candidates are shortlisted on the percentage in their qualifying exam, with weightage for reservation categories, and you must enter it as a percentage only.
• Skip this if you are already an apprentice, have worked for a year or more after qualifying, or are studying further, such as a diploma holder doing B.E./B.Tech.

Selection Process

In short: your marks decide who gets called, there is no exam, and being on the panel does not guarantee a seat because calls depend on how many vacancies SAC has.

Salary and Benefits

In plain terms, a stipend is a fixed monthly training allowance, not a salary. The notification lists no other allowance or benefit.

How to Apply

1. Open careers.sac.gov.in or sac.gov.in between 11.11.2026 and the last date, and read the General Conditions first.
2. Register with a valid e-mail ID. You can register only once per e-mail ID, and SAC will contact shortlisted candidates only on this address.
3. Fill in every field marked with a star, and enter your marks as a percentage only.
4. Upload your qualification certificates (degree, diploma or ITI) as PDF files of up to 1 MB each. The marks, class, month and year of passing must be readable in them.
5. Type the characters shown in the image, submit once, and note the 14-digit registration number. Then print the application summary before the site stops allowing prints.

Note: You can submit the application only once, and nothing can be corrected afterwards. An application without the required documents is invalid.

Documents Required

The notification does not mention a photograph or signature upload.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Enter your marks as a percentage only, and make sure they match your certificate. Any mismatch in name, age, result or year of passing at any stage cancels your candidature.
• Use an e-mail ID you check daily. SAC will contact shortlisted candidates only by e-mail.
• Check every field before you press Submit, because you can submit only once and cannot edit afterwards.
• Upload all required qualification certificates before submitting. An application without them is treated as invalid.
• If you claim OBC (NCL), SC, ST, EWS or PwBD benefit, keep a certificate issued for the current financial year in the prescribed format.
• Print the application summary on time. The PDF says the site will not allow printing after 5 PM on 02.12.2026.
