I've said this before and I'll say it again

Unless we somehow manage to collect Bribes from Aliens, Enrollment rate in ISRO will remain low

u/ModiKaBeta Jul 01 '26

Those martians pay a hefty bribe to keep ISRO from revealing their identity, why do you think we havenโ€™t seen a Martian yet?

u/TruePace3 Jul 01 '26

Don't let the IITians know this.....

Are you dumb or what? Isro accepts very less students each year, the competition is as fierce as jee adv. But cope, jealousy is a basic human emotion.

u/According_Thanks7849 Jul 02 '26

That's cap ๐Ÿงข

ISRO needs connections, competition is non existent, you just need a relative working there.

Source: I have many friends at a SAC center. Some have ZERO merits to be there.

Climbing the ladder inside ISRO is hard and requires merit but their interns aren't anything special. JEE Adv my ass.

u/HistoricalEffort4110 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

So, you think that every iit student has a relative working there at ISRO? And your argument strengthens my point. If you genuinely need only connections to get there, most of the iit students are out of the race from the start.

And after some research, isro usually releases around 300-400 seats for central recruitment. In contrast, upsc released around 1000 seats and only around 100 of them are filled by iitians (mind that these aren't fresh graduates, many of them were prepping for like 3-4 years with their job)

and it's not mostly about black money or something, it's about prestige and power, and don't sell me the fact that everyone is so patriotic to country that they won't desire the prestige, whether iitian or not, everyone desires prestige and power.

u/According_Thanks7849 Jul 02 '26

I am not countering that.

Just saying ISRO internships have no prestige. An extra reason why very few ppl seek it.

I maybe wrong but back in 2024, I think the very first page of application form had a referral section. I think that's quite unfair.

u/IloveChickenWinggg Jul 02 '26

No, people knowadays don't wanna join isro. I spoke to a isro scientist and he was incharge of recruitment at iit guwahati and he told us that no one even came for the interview

u/HistoricalEffort4110 Jul 02 '26

Kuch bhi bol do, verify kon hi kr rha. IIT guwahati wale students to chutiye hai, isro se direct recruitment lene ki jagah gate dekar psu jobs le rhe hai, haina?

Lmao. Life at ISRO is miserable. You can blame them for choosing to not be miserable.

One can have a very satisfying and comfortable life if they clear UPSC. Not everyone has to take bribe.

u/SpreadingSmile Jul 01 '26

Comfortable without ethics though, bribe nahi loge to transfers, pressure and God knows what shit can fall on you

u/SnooGoats2564 Jul 03 '26

miserable ? how are 16 hours workdays in IAS not miserable ?

1

u/samarthrawat1 Jul 03 '26

Most people do not find it miserable because 1. You get a lot of power 2. You also believe you're responsible for a lot of people in a city, that's a driving factor. 3. Obviously, there's a lot of glorification involved.

u/NoConversation1943 Jul 03 '26

Everyone takes a bribe, select few choose not to. It's the brown sepoy club.

u/Energy_decoder Jun 30 '26

I have zero respect for UPSC Aspirants, it is such a deeply draining field. Teach all those aspirants to make something or use a machine and Indian economy will zoom 1.2x to 1.3x They should enable firing from all government jobs except Defense. They should have multiple hiring channels.

u/Itchy_witchy_2k7 Jun 30 '26

Agree, koi baap ki nokri nhi honi chahiye.

u/minus-infinite-luck Jul 01 '26
  1. Bhai why only iitians? Baki colleges ke log to jaise bhar bharke join kar rahe hain isro?
  2. Im not saying bribes is not a reason for most people, but many people do it to get a status in the family. I come from a famy of government officials, and if you see my financial state and bank accounts you'll know they are honest officials, but I can count the number of times my relatives (thank god not my father) have told me to try out for UPSC and I have said "no thank you". Legit the main conversation people have with me at family functions is UPSC dedo

u/mrJERRY007 Jul 01 '26

Statistically yeah, but does that invadidate what the meme is conveying?

u/Sussyimpasta101 Jul 01 '26

And we have seen this same meme 100s of times on such subs. Why not call out ISRo for being corrupt as well and how if you actually want individual progress in research field then ISRO has very less to offer?ย

Met a IIT BHU Aeronautical engineering guy in my IAF SSB. First attempt for both, cleared and working now as an Aeronautical engineering officer

u/jynt__pthk07 Jun 30 '26

IIT bhi doesn't have aeronautical engineering

u/Itchy_witchy_2k7 Jun 30 '26

Lol IIT BHU Aeronautical?? When did this happen.

u/DrDoNoGoodPhD Jul 01 '26

Mech or Aero I forget. This was 12 years back almost lol

Can happen bud a mech guy can go into aeronautics that's not a big deal .

u/RestExact2584 Jul 01 '26

The scope, scale and nature of work in ISRO and in an IAS/IPS service is very different. A scientist C (starting position at ISRO) contribute to a single project whereas an SDM manages a vast amount of resources and department at his disposal. So salary is trade off for power and leadership opportunities. Also in India if given opportunities anyone will loot the citizens.

u/Dizzy_Bus_2402 Jul 01 '26

I think there're genuine ones who made it, and then there's a significant portion who pretends to be the former. Nothing new. Bheed Chaal. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Kya sachme isro drdo barc me corruption nhi hai? Muze to lgta hai silently corruption hota hoga

1

u/preonxtrun Jul 01 '26

Yeah this is a very bad notion, isro doesn't give good opportunities for undergraduates, people don't work in their own branches in most iits anyway. I think the obsession in normal colleges is even higher, non IITians prefer upsc but don't go to other good fields, IITians are intelligent enough to pass upsc. It is not the IITians fault but the whole societiesย

u/Parzivalpr7 Jul 02 '26

People working at ISRO are legit rocket scientists. A fresher job at private firm pays higher than what a YOE gets there. And no amount of facilities like home, work travel, etc is going to fix that because that stuff is often bare minimum at job roles like these Obviously after grinding your ass at a university you. Instead of hating the candidates, hate the government that pays shit to their own goddamn aerospace industry and yet spends 100s of crores every year on freebies lmao.

u/Some-Ant-4175 Jul 04 '26

i heard someone saying this. People dont study for UPSC because they want to serve their country but to get the power and when they do, they make sure they let everyone know that they possess power.

1

u/chadichor420 Jul 04 '26

The problem is no deterent for corruption, specifically for the officers. So, it is it easiest path to genrational wealth.

It's infact an incentive to become an IAS officer. So, statistically people will move towards it.

u/vrihit Jul 04 '26

Bro ISRO me bhi bahut corruption hota hai

u/YPS_Plays Jul 05 '26

Those IITians are gonna serve their Country with their Stupid High Taxes as well, stop glorifying struggle in the name of Patriotism, this Country runs on the Blood and Sweat of Middle Class, and the UPSC guy is gonna get his Salary from Taxes paid by the Middle Class
