Course Details

IIST offers different undergrad and postgraduate projects in territories that are significant to space thinks about. The establishment as of now offers B.Tech in three branches – Aerospace Engineering, Avionics and Engineering Physics, the last prompting a double degree program in any of the accompanying four post graduate streams: Master of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Master of Science in Solid State Physics, Master of Technology in Optical Engineering and Master of Technology in Earth System Sciences. Admissions to these branches are justify construct and admission is based with respect to the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) led by IITs, according to the rules set by IIST. The significant component of the undergrad program is the entire nonattendance of any type of expenses payable to the foundation, rendering the training "totally free", subject to the understudies securing a stipulated least scholastic necessity. As execution based budgetary help is given by DOS to the B.Tech understudies of IIST, ISRO/DOS will have the principal appropriate to ingest them, subject to the human asset necessities of ISRO/DOS.
