IIRS Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

For the higher studies in Remote Sensing & GIS, IIRS (ISRO) is the best institute in India. The personal preference would be Masters over the Diploma course since the Masters programme includes a 14 month project towards the end of the course, in which the researcher gets to work under the guidance of experienced scientists from ISRO. A drawback of the course would be that the syllabus is demanding and the exams are tightly scheduled.

The Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) - is a constituent unit of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space, Govt. of India. Since its establishment in 1966, IIRS is a key player for training and capacity building in geospatial technology and its applications through training, education and research in Southeast Asia. The training, education and capacity building programmes of the Institute are designed to meet the requirements of Professionals at working levels, fresh graduates, researchers, academia, and decision makers. IIRS is also one of the most sought after Institute for conducting specially designed courses for the officers from Central and State Government Ministries and stakeholder departments for the effective utilization of Earth Observation (EO) data. IIRS is also empaneled under Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme of Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India providing short term regular and special courses to international participants from ITEC member countries since 2001.

The college was very friendly and was a ragging free campus, all the students were very friendly towards each other and the education provided with the best with the finest faculty members. The exposure has provided was able to build a good engineer in me.

There are tons of extracurricular activities present here. From sports to arts, everything is here. There's nothing only for boys or girls, every event is equally arranged for active participation of all students. And I feel negativity about the study hrs which is almost 10 hrs.

Candidates who have a graduate degree in B.E/B.Tech or M.Tech/M.Sc degree are eligible for the programme. In order to get admission in this institution, the candidate must give the entrance exam GATE conducted by the Institute. The students will be selected on merit basis.

The admission depends upon the GATE entrance exam and 45% scored in the undergraduate to enroll in the course. The results and merit lists provide information about admission. Luckily, my name appeared on the list.

The admission procedure includes clearing the GATE entrance test and personal interview after clearing them college handover the list of selected students. My name appeared in the first merit afterward I’ve attended the counseling session and submitted my documents to begin the admission process.

The institute course structure and facilities they provide us is very great but since it is a training institute, we don't get the full freedom of the normal University, there are CISF (Centralised industrial security force) guarding the institute 24*7. So we have to follow proper instructions given by them.
