Indian
Institute of Space Science Technology, an autonomous body under the Department
of Space and set up with the primary objective of generating high quality human
resources to meet the requirements of Department of Space (DOS) /Indian Space
Research Organisation (ISRO) and located at Valiamalai, Thiruvananthapuram, has
announced the admission to the B Tech Programmes offered at the Institute.
The
three B.Tech Programmes offered at the Institute are in Aerospace Engineering
(60 seats), Avionics (60 seats) and Physical Sciences (36 seats). Applicant
should be Indian citizens. Applicant belonging to GEN and OBC (NCL) categories
should have been born on or after October 1, 1988 while those belonging to SC,
ST and PD categories should have been born on or after October 1, 1983.

CBSE, to appear for the IIT-JEE(Advanced)-2013 and score the prescribed minimum
category-wise marks in JEE(Advanced)-2013 to be eligible for admission to the
IIST.
The
minimum prescribed marks in JEE Advanced for General Candidatesis 5% marks in
each of the three subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and 20% marks in
aggregate. OBC (NCL) Candidates should score at least 90% of the marks
prescribed for General Candidates while SC, ST & PD Candidates have to score
at least 50% ofthe marks prescribed for General Candidates for
JEE(Advanced)-2013.
The
marks secured by the candidate in JEE(Advanced)-2013 examination will be used
only for deciding his/her eligibility for admission, and will not be considered
for preparing the rank list for admission to IIST.

B.Tech.
Programme in Aerospace Engineering,is a programme oriented towards the needs of
space technology and has significant overlap with Mechanical Engineering
including Mechanical Design, Manufacturing Sciences and Space Dynamics. Those
with B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering can further specialize in Flight
Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Thermal and Propulsion, Structure and Design, and
Manufacturing Science.
B.Tech.
(Avionics) Degree programme comprises of subjects of study in Electronics and
Communications Engineering programmes, in addition to study of Advanced
Electronics in Digital Communication, Control Systems and Computer Systems used
in Aerospace Systems. Those with B.Tech Degree in Avionics can later specialize
in areas like DSP, RF & Communication, Antenna, Power Electronics, Micro
Electronics, Control Systems etc.
B.Tech
(Physical Sciences) is a 4-year Programme oriented towards application of basic
sciences in Space Science and Technology. The programme lays a strong
foundation in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, and gives exposure to
important applications of space technology such as Remote Sensing and GIS,
Astronomy and Astrophysics and Earth System Sciences. People with B.Tech Degree
in Physical Sciences can later specialize in areas like Atmospheric and Ocean
Sciences, Solid Earth Science, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Remote Sensing &
GIS, and Chemical Systems.
More
details of the Programmes can be had
fromhttp://www.iist.ac.in/admission/under-graduate. Those selected to the
Programmes will be eligible for Assistantship. The full assistantship per
semester for tuition fees, hostel accommodation and boarding etc will be borne
