GATE is not an essential qualification for ISRO recruitment, but a good GATE score will boost your confidence, and the strategy of your GATE preparation will help you to crack the ISRO written exam and interview. The following options are open for young aspirants to become scientists or engineers at ISRO:
If you get into the old IITs (through a good GATE score), ISRO conducts a direct placement interview. If your rank is low, you can be admitted to IIST (for B.Tech candidates only, through JEE marks).
