ISRO ICRB Scientist Engineer CBT postponed to 29 October
Existing applicants should follow the revised exam date; the recruitment application window has already closed.
ISRO now says the ISRO:ICRB:03(EMC):2026 Computer Based Test is postponed to Thursday, 29 October 2026.
A recruitment-stage update, not fresh applications
Checked on 12 October 2026: the official page retains the earlier 19 October exam date below its newer postponement remark. The updated remark gives 29 October. The recruitment advertisement is dated 27 August; its stated online application window ran from 27 August to 16 September at 11:55 PM. The exam change does not announce reopened applications.
Which recruitment this affects
The Scientist/Engineer SC advertisement covers Electronics, Mechanical and Computer Science and additional specified PRL entries. The PDF includes relevant BE/BTech or equivalent qualifications, minimum 65% aggregate or CGPA 6.84/10. Initial processing payment was ₹750, with the advertised conditional refund rules. Those original details describe the recruitment already applied for; they are not a new payment invitation.
What candidates should check next
The official recruitment page links the configured examination service. Use that link through ISRO rather than an unsolicited message. The current postponement remark does not establish a new application window, a revised reporting time or every candidate’s test-centre details. Use the authority’s subsequent instructions and your own admit-card information for those matters.
Plan around the change without guessing
Our recommendation is to update your study calendar with the revised date while keeping a copy of the original exam communication. If travel is involved, confirm the latest centre and reporting instructions before making changes. A postponement may affect practical arrangements differently for each applicant, so this article cannot confirm whether a particular ticket or booking should be changed.
Avoid confusing status labels with dates
The page still contains an Open label alongside the past application deadline. Read the actual application-window text and the newer exam remark together. A summary should make that distinction visible rather than turn a stale status label into a claim that new candidates can apply. Check this same official page again before the exam for any additional instruction.
