The admissions to the Undergraduate Programmes (B.Tech) at IIST

About IIST

IIST is Asia's first Space Institute and the first in the world to offer the complete range of undergraduate, post graduate, doctoral programmes with specific focus to space science, technology and applications.

This unique concept took root in January 2007, when IIST was registered as a Society under the Travancore -Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955. IIST received the approval of the Union Cabinet on 26 April, 2007 and it was formally inaugurated on 14 September 2007 by Dr. G. Madhavan Nair. In a little less than a year of its establishment, IIST received the recognition of UGC as a Deemed University under Section 3 of UGC Act, 1956.

The Institute has the unique mandate of encouraging and equipping brilliant youngsters from all parts of the country to take up a career as Scientist/Engineer in the Indian Space Research Organisation. IIST functions as a autonomous body under the Department of Space, Government of India.

Admission Test 2011

INTRODUCTION

The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), a Deemed to be University under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956, was set up under the Department of Space, Government of India in 2007. The Institute now offers undergraduate (B Tech)Programmes inAerospace Engineering, Avionics and Physical Sciences. In addition to the regular curriculum similar to the general syllabi of Science and Engineering courses, the programmes have special modules tailored to space technology and space science.

The Institute is being developed as a centre of excellence in the area of advanced space science and technology with Post-Graduate, Doctoral and Post-Doctoral programmes in the niche areas of Space Science, Technology and Applications to cater to the sophisticated technological requirements of ISRO. In this Institute, the education is fully integrated with the high technology research work being carried out at ISRO Centres. This is being achieved by making the best use of the R&D infrastructure of the Department of Space (DoS)/Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) besides creating its own resources to train the young minds in high technology areas.

The IIST is equipped with the infrastructure of international standards necessary to create an excellent academic and research ambience. The students will have ample opportunity for scientific and academic interaction with eminent scientists and technologists in the country and abroad, with the brightest among them taking part in academic exchange programmes between IIST and international Universities/Institutions of repute. Along with the excellent infrastructure provided in IIST, the Institute is also endowed with faculty members of fine academic excellence who not only nurture an excellent scholastic atmosphere here, but also act as mentors and counsellors. The Institute adopts modern methods of learning with a good mix of practical, tutorial and lectures in its curriculum. Within a short time, the Institute will have special satellite-based connectivity with higher bandwidth, enhancing its readiness for distant education delivery from premier institutions and research laboratories from within and outside the country.

The Institute Campus is set in a beautiful natural landscape, at Valiamala, about 20 kms away from Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala. When fully established, the campus will house Academic Blocks with classrooms, research laboratories and computer centres, Library, Administrative Block, Convocation Area, Student Activity Centre, Sports facilities, Hostels, and residential area for faculty & non-teaching staff.

At present, IIST has 600 students and 80 faculty members, maintaining a student-faculty ratio of about 8:1. The ratio is expected to improve to 5:1 as an outcome of the ongoing process of induction of more faculty members. The mentoring system instituted here ensures that the students will be helped by the faculty members not only in the learning process but also in developing their personalities.

B.TECH PROGRAMMES IN IIST

Aerospace Engineering: B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering programme is similar to programmes with identical title offered by many reputed Institutions in India and abroad. The programme in IIST is oriented towards the needs of space technology, and has significant overlap with Mechanical Engineering including Mechanical Design, Manufacturing Science and Space Dynamics. People with B.Tech Degree in Aerospace Engineering can further specialize in Flight Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Thermal and Propulsion, Structure and Design and Manufacturing Science.

Avionics: Avionics means electronics used in aerospace systems. The students opting for Avionics get to learn what is generally covered in a typical Electronics and Communications programme and in addition, get exposure to Advanced Electronics in digital and communication, control systems and computer systems used in aerospace systems. People with B. Tech Avionics Degree can later specialize in areas like DSP, RF & Communication, Antenna, Power electronics, Microelectronics, Control system etc.

Physical Sciences: B. Tech in Physical Sciences is oriented towards application of basic sciences in Space Science, Space Technology and Space Application. The programme lays a strong foundation in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and gives exposure to important applications of space technology such as Earth System Sciences, Remote Sensing and GIS, Astronomy , Astrophysics and Chemical Systems. 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. The curriculum will have the best blend of Science and Engineering.

Every student who completes the B.Tech programme of IIST, meeting specified academic standards, will be absorbed in ISRO as Scientist/Engineer SC. To be thus eligible for absorption in ISRO, the student should have completed the B.Tech programme in four years with a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 6.5 (out of a maximum of 10). The maximum time limit allowed for successful completion of a programme is six years, but any extension beyond the normal four years renders the student ineligible for absorption in ISRO. Students who join IIST to pursue Undergraduate Programme are required to furnish a bond to serve ISRO for five years immediately after completion of the programme. If a student is not eligible to join ISRO, penalty provisions in the bond will be attracted.

A student should earn at least 29 credits at the end of first year to continue his/her studies in IIST. Students who fail to earn at least 29 credits at the end of the first year will have to leave the academic programme and the Institute. Similarly students are required to earn at least 76 credits at the end of the second year and at least 124 credits at the end of the third year to continue their studies in IIST. The Institute makes every effort to support the weaker students by offering Winter/ Summer courses every year.
