IIST Experience

IIST is an excellent choice for the Aerospace programme because the college is well-known for its high educational standards and is ranked as one of the best engineering colleges in India. During the counselling, I was able to secure my seat, and I was shortlisted based on my GATE score and granted admission. We must fill out an admission form from the university's website and pay the fee using the challan generated while filling out the admission form.

The curriculum is up to date, and it properly welcomes new ideas and helps us develop our innovative and decision-making skills. Basic Electrical Engineering, Engineering Graphics, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, Probability and Statistics Computer Networks (Theory + Lab), and many other topics are covered in detail. The curriculum is a good mix of theory and practice. The college's faculty is excellent and highly experienced. The faculty members have earned their PhDs from India's top universities and have extensive research experience. The faculty is very professional, and they know how to teach us difficult terms in a simple way.

The institution has a very good internship programme, and the internship is designed in such a way that we are not left behind in terms of the curriculum while attending the internship. The average internship stipend is around 45k.

The placement packages are excellent. Every year, the college maintains a record of 100% placement. Some of the college's regular recruiters include Adobe Systems, Asia Technologies, Astra Microwave, Collins Aerospace, Delta Electronics, Gauge Data Solutions, GES Infotech, Infosys, Josh Talks, Indian Navy, Mahindra Electric, Philips, Wipro, and others. For our batch, the highest wage offer was around 18 LPA, and the median wage offer was 8 LPA.

The college offers merit-based scholarships, as well as scholarships for SC/ST/PWD students. The college also has a loans programme, and the admissions department fully cooperates with the loan application process. The total course fee for the college is around 5 lakh, and the average wage placement offer is around 7.50 LPA, which is good in comparison to the college fee and the top pay packages range up to 12 LPA, so the return on investment is nearly double.

On-campus, there is also a medical facility. The college's research laboratories are state-of-the-art, with all types of equipment available for study and research activity. We also have the chance to undertake various types of research on the college campus. The college library is a source of knowledge; there are numerous books on space technology in the library. All of the library's books are also available as E-Books. The college also hosts the IIST cricket league, which is a great event for cricket fans, as well as badminton competitions on campus.

The hostel rooms are large and well-ventilated. The accommodation is on a sharing basis, with most rooms housing two or three students. The rooms are very clean, and the warden ensures that the hostel's standards and decorum are upheld. The mess's menu is varied and tasty. Students have access to all basic amenities such as furniture, a game room, an LCD TV, table tennis, carom, and chess.
