Admission:
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.

- The tight timing of campus to go out and come .
Admission:
I choose this college over other colleges due to the opportunity that I am getting in this college such as ISRO campus placement and more opportunities in my life.such as government sector and private sector.
Admission:
The whole admissions process is being done with the website. Don't judge by the looks of the website, the course can't be changed later once confirmed in the website. So be careful while selecting the preferences of the branches.

Admission:
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))
