Placements and Internships
- On selection for the course, the entire fees are funded by the department of space as long as one secures a score of 7.5 GPA in any given semester.
- Mainly the recruitment happens into ISRO, a new placement cell being established to cater the needs. A pretty good alumni network with people working in ISRO, doing research jobs, MS and PhD courses in India and abroad also few startups.

Academics & Faculty : I have completed first year of my stay in IIST and as a matter of fact I am a 9 pointer. Class timings are from 9 am to 2 pm and then we have labs from 2pm to 5pm, so the schedule is pretty hectic. The quality of education is excellent to bearable, some profs are really awesome and some (very few though) don't know shit about the subject.
Academics & Faculty : Academic Schedule at Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology is ok. But you have to work harder to achieve good CGPA. They will not give S grades that easily. Available courses are 1. Aerospace, 2. Avionics, 3. Physical Sciences teaching is good is concerned. The teaching is more good from 5th sem. As professors will be handling the courses. you can access the professor anytime anywhere. They are very polite.
