IIST Placement FAQs

Ques. When does IIST announce summer internships?

Ans. IIST invites strong undergraduate and postgraduate students from Indian institutions, universities and colleges for internships and research work on campus. Students from science, engineering, technology, humanities and related fields can work with faculty members through the Summer Internship, Year-Round Internship/Project and PhD Visiting Schemes. The summer internship project is announced every year in March, and the internship usually runs from June to July. The internship can last for a minimum of one month and a maximum of two months. Topics and the required number of summer internship positions are shared on the webpage. Interns must apply directly through the portal. The faculty supervisor of the department handles the selection, and the selected list is released on the same portal. Only selected students get an offer letter from the Dean of Student Activities.

Ques. What does the PhD Visiting Students Scheme at IIST include?

Ans. IIST provides the PhD Visiting Students Scheme for PhD students from other institutions who want to do collaborative research. A student can identify an IIST faculty member whose research area matches or supports the student's work. After getting approval from the PhD supervisor and reaching an agreement with both the supervisor and the IIST faculty member, the student can apply through the IIST website portal, which stays open throughout the year. The application must include a detailed work plan for the visit to IIST. The IIST faculty member endorses the visit and sends it to the internship committee for approval. After approval, the Dean of Student Activities sends a confirmation letter so the student can plan the visit. PhD students from an Indian institution, university or college can visit for 1 to 3 months. The student must submit an Endorsement Certificate from the parent institution, along with the research plan, visit duration and planned use of IIST facilities, including laboratory equipment.

Ques. How are hostels managed at IIST?

Ans. IIST hostels work under the guidance of the Registrar and the Dean (Student Activities, Student Welfare and Outreach), who are the top authorities for the hostel system. Daily hostel work is managed by the Deputy Registrar (Student Welfare and Outreach), with help from five Assistant Hostel Managers, two Hostel Supervisors and Hostel Attendants. Each hostel also has a Resident Faculty Warden, who is a faculty member living on campus and staying connected with students. IIST has also formed a Council of Wardens, with two faculty members assigned to each hostel for more personal student support. This system helps build community, supports student well-being and allows quick coordination with teams such as the Civil Maintenance Division and Networking Division for student complaints. Wardens handle student concerns, maintain discipline and ensure that students follow the Institute code of conduct in the hostels, supporting student welfare and overall development during their stay at IIST.
