Hello,

Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology offers various undergraduate and post-graduate courses.

Admission to Undergraduate courses like B.tech are done on the basis of JEE Main Merit. Admission to Post-Graduate Courses like M.S/M.Tech are done on the basis of GATE score.

There is no separate Exam or process to get admission into IIST apart from these two exams (i.e JEE Main for B.Tech and GATE for M.Tech)

Hope this was helpful.

You can get into IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology) for their Undergraduate programmes. The admission is based on JEE Advanced scores. Which means you need to have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 10+2. You can pick any of their 4 year Bachelor programmes like B.Tech in Physical Sciences, B.Tech in Avionics and B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering, etc. Or you can also pick up their 5 year Integrated courses in Master of Science in Astronomy and AstroPhysics, Master of Technology in Earth System Science, Master of Science in Solid State Physics and Master of Science in Optical Engineering, etc.

IIST also offers Postgraduate Programmes like:
M.Tech in Soft Computing & Machine Learning
M.Tech in RF & Microwave Engineering
M.Tech in Geo informatics
M.Tech in Optical Engineering
M.Tech in Machine Learning & Computing
M.Tech in Solid State Technology
M.Tech in VLSI & Microsystems
M.Tech in Materials Science & Technology, etc. and admission to all these courses is through GATE score only. Please check our page for more information: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/iist-mtech-admission

hi,

see as per your score you are eligible to apply in all institute, you have the qualifying marks criteria, however bits admission process is basis on score in bitsat exam, however you are not eligible to give bit sat, since you have passed 12th in 2018. now coming to iiits iiest shivpur, admission is basis on jee main score, which you are eligible to apply, since jee main exam can be attempted 3 times starting from the year of passing of 12th course . iisc does not offer engineering courses it has bs-ms dual degree course which is done on the basis of jee advance exam or jee main score , same goes for iist, since admission is done on basis of jee advance score,  you are not also eligible to apply for jee advance exam this year.

Hi,
If we look at comparative analysis of IIST and IITH then I'd say that IIST is better for a narrow field of area ie astrophysics due to the following reasons

• Selective field: IIST is more focused on space science which also allines with your interest in astrophysics, IIST is newer and has well equipped labs at par with older IITs
• Placements: if you look at the placements then simply put IITs generally get better placements, but IIST being a new colleges get lesser visits from companies.
• Core: if you r intrested in more theory and science then you should go for IIST but if you are more interested in technology, engineering and placements then go for IITH

Hello

Even if your marks in Maths exam is low but if your aggregate is 75 % or more than you don't need to worry at all dear .

This is because as per eligibility criteria of IIST , a general category student needs at least 75% aggregate marks in class 12 board examination, while it is only 65 % required for sc , st , PwD students. Subjects you need to consider for calculating percentage are :-

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Mathematics
• A language
• Any subject

Thankyou

Hello student predicting exact cutt off is little difficult as it depends on many factors like the level of question in the entrance examination and total number of applicants in that examination. But if we go through past year cut offs then to get admission in aerospace engineering (B.tech) at IIST the opening rank for Genral category was 335 and the closing rank for Genral category was 4450.
To get admission into IIST candidates need to first qualify Jee main and jee advance. To appear in Jee main April examination you need to register for it. Application for jee main April examination starts from 07th of February and shall remain open till 07th of March 2020.
Eligibility - candidates must passed or appearing class 12 with physics chemistry and mathematics with minimum 75 percent marks aggregate from a recognized board

Hello,

The admission process for IIST is on the basis of JEE advanced, GATE, JEST or UGC-NET. IIST does not organize any entrance exams of their own. After the shortlisting of candidates on the basis of rank then the counselling process is done offline and as per the rank. The interview is to be cleaned by the students to grab the admission in IIST.

Hello,

First of all you may not fulfill the education qualification criteria.To appear in JEE advanced 2020 a candidate must have passed 10+2 or its equivalent in 2018, 2019 or 2020 are eligible.

Suppose that you wish to appear in 2021 you must have completed your class 12 in 2019, 2020 or 2021 but you have passed class 12 earlier than 2019 so you will not be eligible to appear in JEE adavanced which makes you ineligible to get admission in IIST or IISER.

Hey Aspirant,

Here is the JEE Advanced cut-off for IIST:

Category	Minimum Aggregate marks	Physics Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) Individually
General (GEN)	20%	5% marks
Other Backward Community- Non Creamy Layer OBC-NCL)	18%	4.5% marks
Scheduled Caste(SC, Scheduled Tribe(ST) & Persons with Disabilities(PD)	10%	2.5% marks

Here is the IIST B.Tech 2018 cut-off:

Category	B.Tech.(Aerospace Engineering)		B.Tech.( Electronics and Communication )		Dual Degree (B.Tech. + Master of Science/Master of Technology)
	Open	Close	Open	Close	Open	Close
General	43.89%	34.17%	66.94%	33.05%	52.78%	36.39%
OBC	47.78%	30.28%	33.05%	27.22%	33.33%	26.11%
