As the ISRO Assistant exam draws near (to be held on 26.02.2012), all the aspirants for this ISRO job must be searching for the exam prep materials - the exam pattern, sample papers & prep books. This blog post is being made specifically for this purpose- to help you prepare for ISRO Assistant Exam.

To present these materials to you, I had hard time finding them on the net as most of the links leads to either ISRO exams for Technical Assistants or the exam for Scientist/Engineers. However, I could fish out the previous three years actual exam papers of ISRO Assistants exam from which we can find the pattern of exam & the syllabus as well.

ISRO Assistant Exam Pattern & Syllabus:
The written exam for the ISRO Assistant consists of two papers – Paper I & Paper 2, both containing 100 marks. You can find the pattern of ISRO Assistant exam, based on last three years (held on 20th May, 2006; 20th July, 2008 & 10th January, 2010) below, which gives you the number of question and mark per questions for each test section. There is no prescribed syllabus by ISRO for this ISRO Assistant exam, but you can find what can be the type of questions from the previous years exam papers in the next section.

The Paper 1 contains test sections on General English & General Studies. The descriptive General English consists of only two questions, weighing 10 marks each in which one essay & one letter is to be written. The General Studies sections consists of questions on “Test of reasoning”. The Paper 1 of ISRO Assistant exam is of duration 2 hours (10 AM to 12 Noon). You can find the pattern/format of Paper 1 in the table at right.


The Paper 2 contains test sections on Arithmetic, GK & Computer Literacy. As you can find, the questions are not very difficult. The paper 2 is of duration 2-1/2 hours (1:30 PM to 4 PM). You can find the pattern/format of Paper 2 in the table at right.

Mind you, this pattern of ISRO Assistant exam is based on the exam held in 2006,2008 & 2010 and you may see some difference in the pattern of exam to be held in 2012.

In addition to above actual Previous Years ISRO Assistant Exam papers, I would also like to point you to these sample papers for SBI Clerks exam. Why? Because the bank clerk exams have the same test sections as the ISRO Assistant Exam - down to even the computer literacy and descriptive English paper. Even the qualification eligibility is same for both the exams - graduation.


Prep Books for ISRO Assistant Exam papers:
As told before, exam prep materials for ISRO Assistant Exam is very scarce - almost non existent. Although I tried hard to find books specific for ISRO Assistant Exam, I could not locate any.

In absence of any specific exam guide book, I would like to point you to the following prep books, actually meant for Bank Clerk exam, but which I am sure would be useful to you as the test sections are similar.
