According to an RTI application, only two percent of employees comes from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and National Institutes of Technology (NIT) to work at Indian Space Research Institute (ISRO).
With increasing development in satellite launch and interplanetary exploration, ISRO will soon be in need of talent from premium institutes. According to V Adimurthy, senior advisor of interplanetary mission at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, “This is not a trend that affects only ISRO. Other sectors like roadways and railways too don’t attract them, says Adimurthy, a pass out from IIT Kanpur.”
“ISRO’s centralised recruitment system doesn’t differentiate between an IIT graduate and those from another engineering colleges. They look for strength in fundamentals. It is essential to have people from different institutions,” added Adimurthy.
