ISRO Scientist/Engineer Exam Pattern 2023
The ISRO Scientist/Engineer exam has two stages: a written test of 95 objective questions (80 specific and 15 general) and an interview of 100 marks. You need 60% marks in the written test to qualify for the interview. The final selection is based on the combined marks of both stages. The exam checks your knowledge, skills, and aptitude in space science and engineering.
| 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 |
