The Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), a premier India Space Research and Organisation Centre, has issued an email to candidates selected for Scientist/Engineer posts asking them to report for duty between 16 and 30 April 2020. However, due to the extension of lockdown by the government to avoid the spread of Coronavirus, the date of joining was postponed by LPSC. “The fresh date of joining will be intimated in advance for enabling you to plan your journey to your place of posting,” says LPSC on its website.

In addition to that, the joining date of apprentices also has been postponed to a later date. “Those candidates issued with offer of appointment as Graduate / Technician / Trade and Vocational Trainees under Apprentices Act, 1961 hereby are informed that their fresh date of joining in LPSC/ISRO will be intimated later once the lockdown declared by the Govt. of India due to the spread of COVID 19 is lifted,” says the notification.
