Description: Many young engineers who graduate from top institutions like IIT often choose not to join ISRO. According to a recent statement from ISRO’s leadership, during a campus recruitment drive, a large portion of students dropped out when they saw the pay structure. For many, the starting salary offered at ISRO simply doesn’t match their expectations or what they believe they could earn elsewhere. Because of this, the share of IIT graduates in ISRO’s workforce remains very low — reportedly just a small fraction of total engineers there. Despite India’s space ambitions and ISRO’s high-profile missions, many top graduates look elsewhere: private companies, multinational tech firms, or even jobs abroad, where salaries and career growth seem more attractive. This isn’t only about money. For many young engineers, salary is tied to lifestyle expectations, student loans, and long-term financial security. Working at ISRO often means tradeoffs: maybe lower pay, maybe slower growth or stricter government-job conditions. For a young graduate, that can feel like sacrificing personal ambitions, even if the work is prestigious. As a result, ISRO faces a challenge: to attract and retain top technical talent, especially from elite institutions, the organization may need to rethink its compensation and work-value proposition. If not, there is a risk that many brilliant minds will continue to choose the private sector over public-sector scientific work — which could impact India’s long-term tech and research ambitions.
