The ISRO Scientist/Engineer exam is not an easy one. It tests your knowledge, skills, and aptitude in various domains related to space science and engineering. The exam has two stages: a written test and an interview. The written test consists of 95 questions, out of which 80 are from specific disciplines and 15 are from general aptitude. The questions are objective type and carry equal marks. There is a negative marking of 1/3rd of the marks for every incorrect answer.
To qualify for the interview, you need to score at least 60% marks in the written test. The interview carries 100 marks and tests your personality, communication, and technical skills. The final selection is based on the combined marks of the written test and the interview.
Phases | Paper | Questions | Time |
I | Written Test Part A: Specific Discipline | 80 | Time Duration: 120 minutes (2 Hours) |
II | Written Test Part B: General Aptitude | 15 |
Here is a 26 Days Study Plan for ISRO Scientist/Engineer (Mechanical) 2023. You can adjust it according to your preferences and availability. The table shows the topics to cover each day and the number of hours to spend on them.
