Yes, you can join ISRO without appearing for JEE, but it depends on the role you are aiming for. While JEE is commonly required for admission to undergraduate engineering programs in IITs and other prestigious institutes, ISRO offers various opportunities that do not always require JEE.
Here are some ways you can join ISRO without JEE:
### 1. **Through ISRO’s own recruitment process (for Engineers/Scientists)**
- **Eligibility:** For most technical roles (e.g., Engineer/Scientist), ISRO usually looks for candidates with a B.Tech/B.E. degree in relevant fields like Electronics, Mechanical, Civil, or Computer Science from a recognized university.
- **Exams/Interviews:** ISRO conducts its own recruitment exams (such as ISRO's written test for engineers/scientists) and interviews for hiring candidates. JEE is not required for these positions.
### 2. **Through GATE (for higher-level technical positions)**
- **Eligibility:** For some positions, especially at the Scientist/Engineer level, ISRO accepts candidates who have cleared GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering). This doesn't require JEE; you just need to qualify GATE after completing your B.Tech.
### 3. **Through Bachelor's and Master's programs in relevant fields**
- ISRO hires graduates from various institutes. You could pursue your Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Science from other colleges or universities (without needing JEE) and later apply to ISRO through their recruitment process.
### 4. **For other roles (administrative, technical assistants, etc.)**
- ISRO also offers opportunities in non-technical roles where you can apply without an engineering background. These positions may have different eligibility criteria, and JEE is not relevant for them.
In summary, JEE is not a mandatory requirement to join ISRO. If you pursue your B.Tech/B.E. in a relevant field through other means (like through state-level exams or other entrance exams), you can still apply to ISRO for technical positions.
