Best placements for 2025 .
Placements: ISRO recruits most of the students, and all others are recruited by top companies like Texas Instruments, etc. Along with that, many startups come here. The highest package of the passing out batch of 2025 is about 38 LPA. There are many startups from the college that are offering jobs to students.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi service is available in all hostels with centralized AC classrooms. There are various sports facilities like badminton, cricket, football, squash, table tennis, chess, carrom, basketball, volleyball, etc. available. There is also a gym with various equipment.
Faculty: All professors are excellent, and their way of teaching is amazing. All the professors are Ph.D. holders and are from different IITs and IISc. Along with that, the teaching assistants are very good as they help you in every possible way with labs and courses.
Other: For aerospace engineering, this is an excellent college as you will get various opportunities for learning about it and doing research.

IIST - Unique or just another IIT?
Placements: One of the main reasons students select this college, other than research, is ISRO placements. Every year, more than 60% of students in the whole batch get placed in ISRO if they meet the requirement of a 7.5 CGPA till the 8th semester. The ISRO interview is generally taken during the 6th semester, in which students must have a CGPA of 7 on a scale of 10. Other than ISRO, other core and non-core companies also visit.
Infrastructure: Since the college started in 2007, hostels have been pretty new and always clean. Since it's not a very populated college, you will always find it calm and peaceful here. In the first year, one has to share a room with 2 other batchmates, which turns into 2 people per room from the 2nd year onwards.
Faculty: Faculty members are good, except for some. They are well-qualified and often explain the subjects well. The curriculum is not difficult but not easy either. You will be grinded for the whole semester with assignments, quizzes, labs, and practicals. Now, quizzes have changed to mid-sems, but still, it's not that easy. Exams are of moderate level, and it's relatively graded.
Other: The only reason I chose this course was because of Aerospace and ISRO.

It is a good college in terms of education.
Placements: About 80% of students got placed in the last year's batch. A few students choose to study further. The main recruiter is ISRO, so there are no highest package criteria. Along with ISRO, there are a few other companies like Skyroot and Agnikul Cosmos. Everyone got internship offers in ISRO and a few other companies and institutions.
Infrastructure: Apart from sports facilities, all facilities are available like labs, classrooms, a library, etc. The hostel facilities are good. The quality of the food is good. The taste is not good. I don't know what the staff says. It's South Indian food. I am a South Indian but I don't like the food. Medical facilities are good. There is only one small canteen in the entire campus. It is open only from 8 AM - 11 PM. It is difficult to find a canteen facility during exam time, so we need a night canteen.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and exams conducted by them also little challenging.Frome 2024 they made few changes is curriculum..they kept few credits for extra curricular activities it's good thing for future students.academics wise no complaint. IIST Is mainly focused on academics so study wise no problem
Other: Since my childhood, I wanted to be a scientist, so I chose this course. The easiest way to join ISRO is IIST, so I opted for this college. Sports facilities are good. The crowd in our college is very small. Due to less crowd, a few problems arise during college fests and events. Our college is far from the city. We have to depend on KSRTC. The connectivity is the main issue. Extracurricular activities are not supported by our college management. I am from a dance club IIST. There is no support from the management. We ask for permission for everything that we require.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty, good placements, and really good infrastructure and facilitie
Placements: The average package is around 15 LPA. Top companies include ISRO, Mercedes Benz, etc. All students must complete a compulsory internship in their third year. There are opportunities to go abroad for internships, with all expenses funded by the college. Top roles include grade A scientist, etc.
Infrastructure: Faculty members come from all over India and have post-doctoral degrees in their specific fields. Many have been educated at Ivy League colleges. Classrooms are air-conditioned, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. The library is excellent, fully air-conditioned with six floors, and includes educational books, scientific papers, and novels. Hostels are also good and clean, though they lack AC and have common washrooms. Food at the mess is varied—some is good, some not so much.
Faculty: Teachers are extremely helpful and supportive. They are very knowledgeable and experienced in their fields. The curriculum is considered the best in India for aerospace engineering and is designed by the college itself. Semester exams align well with what is taught in class, with some high-order thinking required.

IIST review: good infra, facilities and placements but lack of extra curriculars.
Placements: The 2020 batch of IIST has a bond signed with ISRO, so all the students whose CGPA > 7.5 have been given placement opportunities at ISRO, with packages varying from 8-12 LPA. In earlier years, the main recruiter was the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), but now, in Aerospace, many new space startups have provided placement opportunities. In the 6th semester of the course curriculum, a mandatory internship must be completed. So, most students in their 3rd year have opportunities for internships at ISRO centers, making 95 to 100% of interns.
Infrastructure: The classrooms and labs at IIST are fully furnished, with air conditioning available in most labs and some classes. The Wi-Fi facilities are available all over the campus. Our campus contains free medical facilities, indoor and outdoor sports, a gym, and other amenities. The sports facilities are not great, but we have a wide range of sports activities, including outdoor sports like cricket, football, volleyball, badminton, and basketball, as well as indoor games like chess, carrom, table tennis, and pool. IIST is well-renowned for its library facilities. The library is six stories high, fully air-conditioned, with millions of books and journals, e-books, and other resources available for 16 hours (8 AM to 12 AM).
Faculty: The Director, Chancellor, Registrar, Heads, and Professors are well-respected personalities in their fields. The Professors are highly knowledgeable and qualified in their respective expertise. The course curriculum for Aerospace is very relevant, with theoretical, technical, and practical applications making their students industry-ready. The course curriculum for IIST, particularly Aerospace, is considered very hectic, with lectures, tutorials, tests, labs, assignments, and projects going throughout the semester, along with difficult mid-semester and end-semester exams. In spite of the difficulty, the pass percentage has always been above 85%.
Other: IIST was the first and best college in the Aerospace Department in Asia. Rockets and space have always fascinated me, and getting the opportunity to learn from the best Professors and the most relevant technology is a dream come true. The course curriculum is almost perfect, but more practical applications in aerospace could improve the quality of the course. The college authorities, students, and clubs organize fests, sports activities, cultural events, festival celebrations, and many educational and cultural programs. IIST has even organized a TEDx event. IISTians get the opportunity to receive scholarships-based internships at ISRO centers and many prestigious universities around the world, like JPL, Caltech, LASP, etc. The campus crowd and the lack of extracurriculars compared to other colleges with the same educational status are the only negative points I need to mention. IIST is located in the hills of Valiyamala, offering the most scenic views from the college. The remote location of the college leads to less connectivity.
