How is the faculty at IIST Trivandrum?

Faculty to Student Ratio is best in the country. It is around 7 t8 students per professor. All the professors are very open for discussions and doubt solvong. Faculties also provides projects to the students for research experience. Mainly there are 2 exams in a semester Mid term and End semester. Difficulty is moderate to hard. Apart from these professors also take class test as internal assessment

The faculty to student ratio is 1:3 and it is true. And they are approachable they give their personal phone numbers and they behave as friends and parents and all the faculty here is extremely experienced and well known for their research works. Some of them even hae experience in isro facilities. Each subject has numerous faculties and each and every one extremely proficient in some topics they teach us that. There are two exams per semester one is mid sem exams and other end sem exams these add upto 70 marks for 100 and the rest they give based on assignments or projects or class tests or combination of all these. And since we are going to study rocket science the exams are also asked in accordance to that for preparing our mind as that of a scientist.

The faculty members are highly qualified and the had done P.hD and they have a lot of knowledge but they are unable to explain the things in a good way and ask for final answer only in the exams which is really a very bad thing.

The facult to student ration here is so good and it is very less.. compared to any other college. And most of the faculty are too good in interating with the students.. Despite of what they teach they have a very good grip and help in individual doubt sessions.(I am currently in first year, so don't know much.)

The IIST has a very good student-faculty ratio o think it was about 1:8 which is very good as compared to IIT's and NIT's. The faculties here are very good, they are always open to approachable but keeping in mind they are professionals, there are some fixed timings to meet them. There have also been mentors assigned like for every 3 students a faculty mentor is there to look on them,to mainatain the transparency. Personally I like the faculty of newly introduced course EVE, K.G. Shreejalaxmi mam beause ahe is teaching in this institute since its starting i.e. since 2009. I mean every faculty in this institute is top notch there is no concern about academics. They are teaching in this institute from a very long time. I don't know much about the M tech and PHD programmes but because of new NEP policy, there happens mid-sem exams and End-semester exams carrying a weightage of 30 and 50 percent reapectively. Before this policy, there used to happen two quizes at the place of Mid-semester exams. Other things like assingnments and projects are same. Every course provides some assingnments which we have to submit before the deadlines on the moodle page of IIST. The college is really focused on communication skills of student, there is one dedicated course on it which is really very very helpful in every aspect whether you want to go for higher studies or you want to do job. The exams are obviously easy as compared to what we have faced in JEE Advanced. The level of Exams is Easy-Moderate considering all subjects. I don't know much about the failing of students because the faculties try their best to teach students. If some students were not good at any of the subjects then Remedial classes are arranged for those students and the faculty teaches himself not any PHD guy. The course is focused so much on space -technology. The courses like Introduction to Space Science and Environmemtal Engineering are also there to teach us about space.
