Who Should Consider These Posts?
These positions are aimed at experienced professionals rather than general entry-level applicants. The recruitment spans several specialist areas:
- strategic planning and implementation of long-term space-sector vision;
- senior administrative/executive support;
- public relations and media;
- legal and regulatory work;
- technical work connected with IN-SPACe's technical directorate.
Candidates should apply only for a post for which they satisfy the exact qualification, experience, age and domain requirements printed in Advertisement No. IN-SPACe: 03:2026.
Because the current official attachment could not be reliably rendered in-session, SIYA does not reproduce unverified post-wise degree names, experience years, age ceilings or salary figures here.
Contract Period and Employment Nature
The advertised engagement is on a contract basis.
The current recruitment summaries consistently state:
- initial engagement: up to 2 years;
- extension: may be granted one year at a time;
- maximum overall tenure: up to 5 years;
- continuation is subject to satisfactory performance, functional requirement and the applicable IN-SPACe consultant guidelines.
A contractual engagement does not automatically create a right to permanent appointment, pension or regular government-service status.
Selection Process
Applications are expected to be scrutinised against the notified eligibility and professional-experience requirements before further selection.
Candidates should rely on the official advertisement for:
- the exact shortlisting method;
- whether an interview, interaction or other assessment applies to their post;
- document-verification requirements;
- any post-specific screening criteria.
SIYA has deliberately not added a written examination, interview weightage or merit formula that could not be verified directly from the current official attachment.
Documents to Prepare Before Applying
Prepare only the documents actually required by the current IN-SPACe advertisement and live IDP application form. Depending on the post, these may include:
| Record | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Educational certificates and marksheets | Prove the notified qualification |
| Experience certificates | Establish duration and nature of professional experience |
| Current / previous employment details | Support professional-service claims |
| Identity and date-of-birth proof | Match personal details entered in the form |
| Photograph / signature file | Upload only if the current portal requests them |
| Category or other supporting certificate | Only where the recruitment provides an applicable benefit or requirement |
| Updated CV / professional profile | Where requested by the advertisement or portal |
Use Regal Naukri's Government Job Document Checklist to prepare a recruitment-specific list rather than relying on a generic document pack.
