Thiruvananthapuram‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ IIST entry is possible only if you qualify through JEE Advanced. IIST considers admissions based on JEE Advanced ranks only. There is no separate entrance test for the institute. Once the results are out, you should definitely take part in IIST counselling by registering yourself and selecting the branches you want like Aerospace Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or Engineering Physics. The seats are given strictly on the basis of merit and the rank you obtain in JEE Advanced, therefore a good score is necessary.

About the fee, IIST is a Department of Space organization, thus the entire fee structure is significantly less than that of most other engineering colleges. Students have to pay for tuition, hostel and other academic charges, but those who keep up with the required academic performance are given financial assistance which takes care of their tuition and main expenses. This makes the cost of studying at IIST very affordable.

Furthermore, you can use the Careers360 portal to get the latest and detailed information regarding IIST admissions, eligibility, cutoffs and counselling. They are always there to help engineering aspirants with their verified ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌guidance.

With an SC rank of 594 in IIST and a current waiting list position of 438 for M.Tech after the third round, your chances of getting a seat are quite low, but not entirely zero.

IIST has a limited number of M.Tech seats, and the number of candidates who move up the waiting list depends on how many people above you withdraw or don’t accept their offers. In most cases, waiting list movement beyond 100–150 ranks is rare, especially in specialized institutes like IIST where the intake is small and candidates are highly interested in keeping their seats.

Since your waiting list number is 438, and you're in the SC category, your chance would mostly depend on massive withdrawals or unfilled seats, which is unlikely this far into the counselling rounds unless there are further special rounds or spot admissions announced.

It’s always good to stay in the process till the end, just in case more rounds or spot rounds are held. Also, keep exploring backup options in other institutes or through CCMT if you haven’t already.

Hello Aspirant.

To get admission in IIST Thiruvananthapuram for B.Tech Aerospace Engineering 2026, you must qualify JEE Advanced with a good rank, preferably within the top 10,000–13,000 (varies yearly). You should have 75% marks in 12th (PCM). After JEE Advanced results, you need to apply separately on the IIST website (application usually opens around May-June). Admission is based purely on JEE Advanced rank + counselling. Focus on strong Physics, Chemistry, and Math preparation for success.

Good luck for your preparation.

For the Mtech fees you can contact the college directly or send them email for query. You can also visit their official website or visit the various educational platforms like Careers 360 . They provide with the accurate Fees structure.
