What Students Say

Likes

The research culture and faculty experiences.
Cleanness in the hostel as well as in campus.
Placement in the ISRO is most important for this college.

Dislikes

Their academic culture and their rudeness.
Some of the academic faculties are too rudes.
The strictness of this college which force students to do something.

Course Curriculum Overview

The design of the curriculum is the best and their faculty is one of the best in the world their qualification was extremely good even maximum of the faculty graduated from world-renounced institute like Oxford University etc.

Class Size: 66Course Fees: INR 66000 per year

Internships Opportunities

There are multiple internship opportunities from this college like 1st ranker of every batch used to do an internship in NASA and 2-4 students will get the opportunity to do an internship in Australia and the rest of the person will get a chance to work in ISRO as an intern.

Placement Experience

Here generally students are placed in the ISRO( Indian Space Research Organization) and from the 2021 batch students will be interviewed by the ISRO board and will placed accordingly and average package provided by isro is around 12 lpa.

Fees and Financial Aid

Their fees are not so high as compared to many institutions like IITs and NITs and there are a number of scholarships provided by the institute and some PSU. And also there are some scholarship which is given on the basis of merits.

Campus Life

Their college life is not so good and you will find good research culture within the campus it has many clubs like aeroclub, Nirman club, dance clubs, and India's one of the best laboratory which is called as Space Laboratory.

Hostel Facilities

The hostel facility is good here and they used to clean the hostel every day but the fees of the hostel are a little bit high and if I talk about the rental accommodation for the hostel then it is around 14k which is too high in my opinion and food is also not so good as per the charges.

Hostel Fee: INR 14200 per year

Admission

You need to qualify JEE advanced examination with a good rank(less than 15000) and after that, you will appear for the first counseling round and which will be around 17-18 round and their cutoff goes around 15000 rank.

Likes

College was at a beautiful place. It was not a city but a beautiful place.
Hostel was great. I got many friends from there.
These are the only things that I can think of.

Dislikes

Teachers, they are horrible one one teacher named aparna was professional and ethical. My HOD was the worst.
Principal is the worst. She does not hear students side. She is money minded. I had a fee pending for not more than 2 week. When I went to her for signing my medical report she demanded that she will sign only after I paid that fee
The college does not encourage extra curricular activities.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is the worst. Teachers rush through the portions so that they can finish at the earliest. It may be because the university has a unjustifiable timetable. There is very little practicals given. The ones that are given are just for namesake.

Decent infrastructure. hostel infrastructure is also clean and better than most colleges

Dislikes

Very poor campus life. No importance for cultural programmes and activities
Very poor and degrading environment for women. Faculties and other staff are very judgemental.
Very low packages for average students. Placement training is regularly being provided, but it is too hectic to be managed along with curriculum.

Placement Experience:

students become eligible for placements after sixth semester. Major companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, e.t.c are recruiters. about 5-10 students are recuited on average by these companies. highest package was offered by south indian bank in 2023 (10 LPA). average packges are around 2 to 3 LPA.

Likes

Our seniors passed out with flying colors joining different companies or starting their own. There's a good focus on peer learning and student communities which is pretty nice. Canteen food is decent and labs are great
Most people and professors are friendly and they encourage you to try out new things.

Dislikes

Hostel water , busses are pretty fast. Sometimes roads are a bitt rough

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is under KTU syllubus do it's fine. There is a change in curriculum coming 2024 which i assume would make a lot of good changes. The curriculum gives you a head start For most of your work, you need to on your own but the faculty is there to help. The frequency of exams is weekly tests + monthly exams. Its not too difficult of an exam.

Review of TOC H institute of science and technology

Likes

I feel like staffs in my department are pretty good, atleast they fullfill their duties to cover the portions in right time
We have placements training, offered free of cost by college itself
Notes and necessary materials for studying are provided from college itself, and most teachers don't force on buying textbooks or other materials

Dislikes

College is located in aarakunnam, which is a bit remote area hence for various needs we often need to travel a few kilometres even for basic necessities
The road to collage entrance is a steep road, and currently it's under construction (it's been a yr)
Students are required to park their vehicles outside the college, as there is no parking facilities for students inside campus

Placement Experience:

Currently placements are bit low, due to inflation, but compared to other colleges like KMEA, etc we have better placements similar to Muthoot and all. We have placement training, and other supports which can help us crack aptitude exams and prepare for placements Almost 70-80% students are placed every year, with an avg package of 4LPA

Review about Toc H Institute of Science and Technology

Likes

When it comes to the campus life, I enjoyed all the 4 years
The infrastructure was okayish Could've improved.
The faculty was really friendly and I was able to approach them without any hesitation.

Dislikes

The road from the junction to the college is not at all maintained. Students coming up the hill find it very difficult to reach college
The bus fees are increased every year. But these people can't find a way to provide seats for the students after paying their bus fee.
Some other campus offer many varieties of food in their canteen. This has to be done here too

Placement Experience:

The students usually start appearing for campus placements in their 6th semester. The training for the campus placements is started for all the students from the 4th semester. Many companies visited for campus placements. But one main problem is that most of them were low packages. Around 4LPA. Some were between 4-6 and a very few between 6-10. Most of them got placed in our batch in some company.

My life until now in IIST

I applied to the top for IITs giving courses in aerospace and this IIST and no private institutions because this degree is of low importance and intrest in the students of India and difficult to study and maintenance of these labs is far costly for getting profits through admissions and no nit institute is giving this course. My rank is less than required to enroll in IITs so I went for IIST....Read More

IIST by Niranjan's eyes.

I had applied for Jossa, Csab and Mht Cet councelling. I had got Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad, Information Technology Branch in Jossa I was allotted with Electronics and Communication Engineering branch at NIT Trichy in CSAB. In MHT-CET councelling I was allotted with Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT) Pune Computer Engineering. As I had more inclination towards mechanical design and structures I decided to opt for Aerospace Engineering at Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology Thiruvananthapuram. The admission process for my college is through a seperate councelling process carried out on their own website iist.ac.in The eligibility is 75% marks in 12th boards and Jee advanced Qualification according to reservation category....Read More

IIST-An Unexplored Space

IIST is asia's first institute dedicated solely to space science and technology. It comes under Department of Space and not Ministry of Education which makes it one of its kind in India. I chose IIST over IIT(BHU) varansi , BITS Pilani (Electronics branch) and VIT Vellore (CS branch) because of IIST's ties with ISRO and various space relarted organisations. I got a confirmed seat in all the above 3 institutes but preferred IIST over them. Admission process at IIST opens after JEE-Advanced results declaration. Only JEE Advanced qualified candidates are eligible to apply here. It conducts its seperate counselling on its website. Last cutoff for all 3 branches is around 15000 CRL. Number of seats is 174 (75 Aerospace,75 ECE, 24 Dual degree(engineering physics))...Read More
