Our college is good for students who have an interest in space science.

Placements: The highest salary package offered in the avionics course in 2024 is 23 LPA. The highest salary package offered in the aerospace course is 13 LPA. The average salary package offered in the avionics course is 13 LPA. The average salary package offered in the aerospace course is around 6 LPA - 8 LPA. I don't know much about engineering and physics. I don't think it has much scope from here. If students are coming here, come only for knowledge, not to seek jobs.

Infrastructure: If students want to work in labs, this place is a heaven. Hostels aren't top-notch but they are better than NITs. Wi-Fi has restrictions for games and some websites like other institutes. The mess is not good. It does not provide good food like other colleges.

Faculty: Professors are very helpful. If students are enthusiastic about knowledge, this is the best institution. The curriculum is very difficult. Exams are difficult. Most of the work is lab-based so students can get industry-ready. The only bad thing here is the attendance. The attendance percentage is 80%.

A hidden gem of a college (better than new IITs).

Placements: The placements are mostly directly to ISRO, all students with a CGPA above 7.5 are placed in ISRO, other companies include space startups such as agnikool, SkyRoot, etc. Approximately 80–90% of students get placed, while many choose to go for higher studies.

Infrastructure: Excellent course infrastructure; the library is very huge with a large collection of books; 24hr 5G Wi-Fi for students; quality of food is average, but there are various food joints nearby, so that is not a big issue. Sports facilities are also good and improving every day, as now the B.Tech students will have credit for sports too.

Faculty: Every teacher is highly qualified, and we have a very good student-to-teacher ratio of 9:1. Every teacher can connect with you at a personal level; keeping less student intake is, I think, a pro for IIST. The course curriculum is relevant, and we are also taught some space-specific stuff. The freshmen now also have the option of various minors.

Other: I wanted to learn robotics and ML from the age of 14, so I took this course. The college is lovely and above many new IITs in the studies and research aspects. I think the facilities are not at that level, but considering that the strength is approximately 1000 students. Overall, it is pretty good.

Everyday starts with excitement and ends with new learnings.

Placements: Just the previous year, I started my college journey. Undoubtedly, the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology offers huge placement opportunities. For instance, in 2023, they had a 97% placement rate. Top companies like TCS, Siemens, and Persistent hire our college students.

Infrastructure: Basically, it’s a superb environment with all the necessities. Through various extracurricular activities, they pave the way for our development. Because of them, we are able to showcase our skills like leadership, passion, and empathy. This environment makes us feel our social responsibilities.

Faculty: Personally, I'm okay with all the lectures. I admire and am amazed by their work. However, they are very strict about our dress code. They play a major role in making us responsible individuals. Finally, coming to exams, it’s quite easy to pass.

It is a very good beginning for a new life.

Placements: There will be no partiality among students during placements. Everyone asked to attend the same coaching for placements. Depending on our performance, students got placed at various companies in our campus drives. Our alumni got placed in companies like Oracle, KPIT, Reliance, and EY.

Infrastructure: Our college has a very good environment. In our library, we have 5-6 copies of books for an individual book.

Faculty: I was very worried about my academics but later all such frustrations faded away from me. All these things were possible because of my teachers. Our teachers worked with us during research. They strictly banned ragging in our institution.

Other: While organising, cultural events we easily collaborate with our juniors and seniors for the smooth happening of such events. We perform and organise events together happily.

Satisfied with academics, sports and extracurricular activities.

Placements: In recent years, the majority of students were placed at ISRO but now the 2025 batch does not have a bond with ISRO and we are not sure of the number of companies that would come for placements from our campus. The advantage is that we do not have to submit a paper with ISRO conduct to get a job there.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi's are sometimes unstable but yes, they are efficient. You do not get Wi-Fi or any Internet in your classrooms, of course. There's a 5-story library and more than 35,000+ books there, mostly related to space and the course. There's not much in the literature section. The food is hygienic but not tasty enough but yes, you won't get sick. Sports are evolving there.

Faculty: Yes, the teachers are knowledgeable and experienced; mostly, they are IITians teaching there. Some of the teachers are helpful. The semester is a little difficult but yes, it requires a daily 5 hours of studying to get 8 points. Pass percentage is, I guess, around 70%.

Other: This college is basically for people who love studying. This campus is not yet ready for any extracurricular activities. I mean, there are sports and fests, but they are not that good.

Can I get admission in Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology for B.Tech in Avionics Engineering without taking JEE Advanced?

Answered 8 years ago

No, you must have to take JEEADV, and if I am not wrong, you should score minimum 20% marks in JEEADV to get shortlisted for selection. Though with that percentage, it may not be possible for you to get a seat. You should go through the admission guidelines of IIST for clarification.
