All you need to know about IIST
Likes
- The opportunity to work on relevant space science projects in collaboration with ISRO is the greatest plus point of the college
- As the students in each batch are lesser, the entire batch is like a close knit community, which is great.
Dislikes
- The campus life here is non-existent. The college is located in a remote area. The sex ration is abysmal(150 boys:6 girls)
- The admin is highly unresponsive to student's issues and concerns. The students have no voice in even minor decision-making.
Remarks :
I chose this college because I am very enthusiastic about the aerospace field and students from here get directly placed into ISRO if they have a CGPA above 7.5 (at least till my batch, now that provision has been removed). The admission process was quite simple, first, you have to apply on the IIST portal and fill in the details after which you are shortlisted based on your JEE advanced scores, if you make the cut, you get a call after which you have to report and submit your documents and medical report. The cut-off for general during my time was around rank 10k+, though this is unofficial as the official data is never disclosed, you only get intimated if you get the spot or not. The cut-off for the later batches is lower though. As for the preparations, apart from JEE advanced no other special preparation is required
Course Curriculum Overview :
The curriculum of IIST is highly focused on space science and space-related missions. Most of the faculty are Ph.D. holders in their respective fields and have hands-on experience working on projects in the aerospace and space industry. Note that this may not always translate to good teaching ability. A lot of the faculties and students are currently involved in joint projects with ISRO. The method of teaching is standard with regular classes in a classroom on a blackboard or a screen. The exams are timely with 2 quizzes and 1 end term exam in each semester. As far as I know, for the current batch, there is no scholarship available aside from a merit-based one.
Placement Experience :
Till the 2020 batch, there were ISRO absorptions, hence about 120-130 out of 150 students got placed with certainty, but as the absorption has been removed for the later batches, it remains to be seen how good the placements are afterward.
Campus Life :
each year, there are 2 fests, is called Conscentia and the other one is dhanak. What you need to know about IIST is that compared to other colleges, social life is non-existent. The college runs on a policy where the admin considers any extracurricular activity as unnecessary. Apart from that, there are sports events organized by the students such as volleyball, basketball, and football tournaments. As for sports facilities, there are badminton and basketball courts, gym is present. The food quality is above average and better than most hostels. The menu has a wide range of options for both veg and non-veg. The hostels are also decent enough, with 2 students sharing a room. The hostels and mess both are very affordable(12k/sem for the hostel). The college is located in a very secluded area where apart from 1 dhaba there are no other restaurants, and no apps like Zomato or Swiggy deliver food there either. If you have to visit the city you need to take a bus for 30 mins to reach there.

Sct review
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose Computer Science and Engineering (AI & ML) because of my interest in technology, programming, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The curriculum follows KTU regulations and covers both theory and practical subjects. Most faculty members are qualified . Internal exams and semester exams are conducted on time. The difficulty level is moderate to a lil bit high and students who attend classes regularly can perform well.
