There are no such health requirement for student regarding the admission to the IIST course. Now professionally being an Aerospace Engineer or Avionics you have nothing to worry about the minus eye power. Having a negative eye power is quite common and it don't create any problem in your professional career until and unless you go for the army and other cases if there are requirements of eye health. In general there are no such regarding the engineers and if there exist then it would be for High power candidates having very low eye sight for 6.6,6/9 vision there are no problems in most of the case.

Hello,

If you have passion for aeronautics and fascination for space then IIST is the right place for you. IIST is one of the reputed college in all over India, it became so much popular within short period as compare to other college due to their Lab, placement, education and other facilities.

IIST has only two branch:

  • B. Tech in Aerospace Engineering
  • B. Tech in Electronics and communication Engiennering(Avionics)
  • 5 year Dual Degree (B. Tech + Master of science/Master of Technology).

We are talking about IIST here every branch is superb. But to choose between these two you have see where you want to work in. If you interested to work in ISRO then pick Aerospace Engineering, Electronics and communication Engineering. , If you are planning to take admission here and you want to work in ISRO then you don’t need to worry about too Much.

Next thing if you don't want to work for ISRO then you can choose the next option then avionics. In India job opportunity for Aerospace is less than Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Hope this helps!!

Hello,

It is quite difficult to predict the chances of getting seat in IIST, Thiruvananthapuram based on JEE Advanced rank. Last year the cut off rank (IIST UG ADMISSION-RANK) is as follows for OBC category

  • Aerospace Engineering: 473
  • Electronics and Communication  : 511
  • B.Tech. + Master of Science/Master of Technology: 521

And here is the Closing Percentage of JEE Advanced 2020 marks.

  • Aerospace Engineering: 21.72 %
  • Electronics and Communication  : 21.46%
  • B.Tech. + Master of Science/Master of Technology: 21.21%

Each year the maximum marks for JEE Advanced changes so does the cut off. You will have decent chances of getting seat if your total score in JEE Advanced is in between 21-25% of total score.

Cut off is subjected to change, it may increase or decrease depending on factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc. So it may increase or decrease this year based on above mentioned factors.
