Join NowISRO URSC vs MCF Hassan Vacancy
Some posts are earmarked for the Master Control Facility (MCF), Hassan, and the rest are for URSC. The table notes this with a split such as “(2+2)”. My reading is:
| Post | Total | URSC (Bengaluru) | MCF Hassan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrician | 4 | 2 | 2 (1 UR + 1 SC) |
| Refrigeration & Air Conditioning | 5 | 4 | 1 (UR) |
| Heavy Vehicle Driver-A | 10 | 8 | 2 (UR) |
The MCF-identified posts total 5 (Electrician 2, R&AC 1, HVD 2). Candidates should check the notification’s post notes to confirm where their post is identified, as the “(a+b)” notation is my interpretation of the table.
Ex-Servicemen (ESM) Reservation in URSC Vacancy 2026
Ex-Servicemen get a significant share of URSC’s vacancies.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Technician-B vacancies reserved for ESM | 21 |
| Driver vacancies reserved for ESM | 8 (2 in LVD-A, 6 in HVD-A) |
| Total ESM-reserved vacancies at URSC | 29 |
| Of these, backlog vacancies | 24 |
| MCF Hassan posts | 1 vacancy reserved for an Ex-Serviceman (only in HVD-A) |
How ESM reservation works:
- Candidates appointed under the ESM quota are adjusted against the vacancy of their respective category (UR/SC/ST/OBC/EWS).
- If suitable Ex-Servicemen are not available for the backlog vacancies, those posts are filled by candidates of the identified vertical reservation category.
- Ex-Servicemen can apply for posts suitable to them even if the post is not reserved for them, and are selected on general merit.
PwBD Vacancy in URSC Recruitment 2026
| Post | PwBD Vacancy Details |
|---|---|
| Electronics Mechanic (24) | 2 for PwBD (VH), including 1 backlog vacancy; 1 for PwBD (OH); 1 backlog vacancy for PwBD (ASD) |
| Fitter (8) | 1 for PwBD (HH) |
| Electrician (URSC’s 2 vacancies) | 1 backlog vacancy for PwBD (ASD) |
| R&AC (URSC’s 4 vacancies) | 1 backlog vacancy for PwBD (HH) |
VH = Visually Handicapped, OH = Orthopaedically Handicapped, HH = Hard of Hearing, ASD = Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Key points for PwBD candidates:
- Only persons with at least 40% of the relevant disability are eligible for reservation and relaxation.
- PwBD backlog vacancy: if no suitable candidate with the notified disability is found, the department tries to fill it with a candidate having any other benchmark disability. So all PwBD candidates are encouraged to apply.
- If it still isn’t filled, it goes to the identified vertical reservation category.
- PwBD candidates appointed are adjusted against the respective SC/ST/OBC/EWS/UR vacancy.
- PwBD candidates can apply for suitable posts even if not reserved for them, but are selected on general merit.

What Does “Provisional Vacancy” Mean?
The notification states that:
- The vacancies are provisional and may vary with actual requirements.
- URSC/ISRO has the right not to fill all or any of the posts.
- Posts are temporary but likely to continue indefinitely.
- Any corrigendum changing posts, vacancies or qualifications is published only on ISRO/URSC websites, not in newspapers.
So check www.isro.gov.in and www.ursc.gov.in regularly for updates.
How to Apply for ISRO URSC Vacancies
- Last date to apply online: 13.11.2026 (11:55 PM)
- Fee: ₹500 (₹400 refundable to those who appear in the written test; full refund for women, SC/ST, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen)

| LVD-A / Staff Car Driver-A / HVD-A | Level 2 | ₹19,900 per month + allowances |
Tips to Choose the Right Post
- Match your trade exactly. Technician-B needs an NCVT ITI/NTC/NAC in the post’s own trade.
- Look at the vacancy count. Electronics Mechanic (24) and Heavy Vehicle Driver (10) have the most seats.
- Check your category’s vacancies. For example, ST candidates have seats only in Electronics Mechanic and Fitter.
- Ex-Servicemen should look closely at the 29 ESM-reserved seats, especially the 24 backlog ones.
- PwBD candidates should apply even if their disability type isn’t listed. Backlog vacancies can be filled by other benchmark disabilities.
- Don’t apply for multiple posts with clashing exam sessions. Choose one.
