About
IIST is India's first university dedicated entirely to space science and technology, established in 2007 by ISRO's Department of Space on a campus at Valiamala near Thiruvananthapuram. Admission to its B.Tech programmes in aerospace engineering, avionics and engineering physics is through JEE Advanced, and the curriculum is tuned to ISRO's mission needs. The major draw is the ISRO absorption route, under which qualifying graduates are directly appointed as scientist/engineers at ISRO centres.
