Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are candidates who are awaiting their final B.Ed or CTET results eligible to apply?

No. All essential academic degrees, professional certificates (like B.Ed), and mandatory eligibility exams (like CTET Paper-I or Paper-II) must be completely passed with official marks sheets available on or before the application closing deadline of July 7, 2026.

Is proficiency in Hindi mandatory for all teaching posts?

Candidates applying for the Primary Teacher (PRT) posts must possess a working knowledge of Hindi. For TGT positions, the official notification indicates that the ability to teach fluently in both English and Hindi mediums is highly preferred, given the diverse demographic backgrounds of the students in Space Central Schools.

What is the exact selection process for these teaching vacancies?

The selection process consists of a computer-based Written Test followed by a Skill Test. The written test evaluates your subject-matter expertise and pedagogical concepts. Candidates who clear the written test benchmark will be shortlisted for the practical Skill Test at a ratio determined by ISRO.

Is the ₹750/- application fee fully refundable if I do not attend the exam?

No. The processing refund rules clearly state that the application fee adjustment (partial or full refund based on category) will only be triggered if a candidate actually sits for the computer-based written examination. Absentee applications forfeit the entire fee.

Where will the written exam and skill tests be conducted?

The written test will be conducted across multiple pre-selected examination cities across India, which candidates can select during form submission. However, the subsequent practical Skill Tests are usually held at the SDSC SHAR facility in Sriharikota or nearest central installations in Andhra Pradesh.
