If you have an aptitude for science and the thought of exploring space excites you, you must consider a career with ISRO. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has a written exam for hiring engineers, technicians, and scientists each year. The ISRO Centralized Recruitment Board conducts these exams. There is an age limit for various posts. Please cross-check your eligibility. All the information like the number of vacancies, educational qualifications, and selection criteria is put up on the ISRO official website.
The ISRO selection process takes place in two phases: Written exam and interview. The final candidates are selected based on their performance in the interview.
Coming to how to prepare a strategy to crack the ISRO entrance exam, the candidates must take into account that there is no fixed syllabus. But, you must check out the GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) question papers for the previous years. It has been observed that at least 10 to 15 data questions from the GATE tests are repeated in the ISRO entrance exam.
The students who have cracked the ISRO exam insist that time management skills are of utmost importance. You can improve upon this skill by taking the ISRO Online Practice Test Series.

There are many advantages to taking the ISRO online test series. Firstly, it helps you become familiar with the exam pattern. It is one of the easiest ways to identify your strengths and weaknesses. You will also understand what kind of weightage is carried by different topics. For example, questions on digital communications carry more marks as compared to questions on analog communication. You can choose to omit a few topics. However, this must be done carefully. You have to attempt at least 50 questions. Every minute counts. But, if you focus more on a difficult topic, you may not have the time to revise a relatively easy topic that can fetch you some easy marks. So, it is important to study the ISRO online test series carefully and understand what topics can increase your overall score.
If you are thinking of giving a competitive exam, the sooner you start, the better it is.
Quick Tips/Tricks:
Take the same mock test multiple times. Ensure that there is a considerable gap between each attempt. It will help you compare your scores and keep track of your improvements.
